Tina, Gene, and Louise are such distinct characters. How did you develop their personalities, quirks, etc.

Hi John, big fan! Three questions for you--first, how did you start working with the boys? Second, who's the biggest (real-life) pothead who works on the show? Third, about how many episodes do we have this season before Jim Lahey starts hitting the liquor hard?

One recent grammar evolution (for lack of a better term) is the common usage of “they/them” as singular.

While I recognize and accept the necessity of a singular non-gendered pronoun, and the utility of designating such a term as “they/them,” there are many people who make claims (usually without citations) that “they/them” has historically been used to refer to a singular pronoun consistently for hundreds of years.

Can you comment on the historical use of “they/them” as a singular pronoun, and whether or not it was in fact as common as some people have claimed?
