EDIT THIS!: 'PUSHING DAISIES'
Published: October 30, 2007
BURBANK - Hollywood loves to pigeon-hole people, so how did comedy editor Stuart Bass, who typically cuts 30-minute shows, end up on Barry Sonnenfeld's one-hour Pushing Daisies? "I'm basically a half-hour guy, and usually hour people won't talk to me," says Bass with a laugh. He made the leap to "longform" by working with Sonnenfeld on last season's half-hour comedy Notes From the Underbelly. Clearly, Bass impressed the critically-acclaimed director. |

my own safety and the safety of others, skiing is out; same for ice skating. So
what’s left? I enjoy losing myself in a well-produced and posted TV show. |
