Lee Arohnson (Two and a Half Men) discusses his thoughts on Andy Kindler’s State of the Industry Address in contrast to Patton Oswalt’s Keynote Address at the 2012 Just For Laughs festival.
Lee was featured at the Just for Laughs Comedy Conference as a Kingpin of TV panelist, where he discussed his experiences as a showrunner and an engine behind the ‘Two and a Half Men’. iThentic was lucky enough to get the opportunity to sit down and speak with Lee about his experiences in comedy, dealing with difficult franchise roadblocks like the removal of starring man Charlie Sheen, the recent term oil with co-star Angus T. Jones and what it means to run one of the most popular sitcoms today.
