Jonathan Ames on creating "Bored to Death"

The creator, writer and producer of HBO's terrific new BORED TO DEATH spoke with me at TCA press tour about how his McSweeney's short story turned into a comedy series. I've also included a short clip from BORED TO DEATH's second episode that shows off the appealing camaraderie between stars Jason Schwartzman and Zach Galifianikis. (The six digit code you see on screen is an anti-piracy watermark from my HBO screener. I'm using this clip for criticism under the fair use provision of the U.S. Copyright Act. Don't try this at home.)
