With the second season of “Important Things With Demetri Martin,” well underway, Martin talks about success and what he sees next for himself after the move to L.A.
For Demetri, the work still feels the same on the west coast, as for his show, guest appearances include Fred Willard and Alan Dale from Lost. Martin admits he has never seen an episode.
Instead, you will find him tuning in to HGTV. He reflects, “There is something very simple about the programming that doesn’t seem too tied to the real world. So I get to watch people and images but I don’t have to know too much about news or politics. It’s kind of irresponsible, but it’s really relaxing.”
In addition to working on his show, Demetri is hard at work with his script “Will,” getting it ready for the big screen. Paul Rudd and Zach Galifianakis are set to star in the feature with direction from Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris.
As for an appearance from Martin, “I had the idea for that movie about a decade ago. I always thought I’d be in it [but] so far I’m not famous enough to be in my movie.”
The question remains if Martin will return to stand-up. Right now, other projects, including a book of essays and drawings, keep him off the stage. To read more about Demetri, his life after Conan O’Brien, and his future comedic successes, check out his full interview.
More Demetri Martin news will follow soon.
