7. GINA IPPOLITO

Gina Ippolito is a comedy writer who wrote for the ninth and final season of Cartoon Network’s Emmy Award winning program Regular Show. She also wrote for the 2016 reboot of the classic cartoon The Powerpuff Girls among other shows and is a co host of the G.I. Joe themed podcast “Knowing is Half the Podcast.” We could have talked about her extensive comedy writing resume, her childhood in Boonton Township, New Jersey or her current work as a champion of women’s rights* in the Los Angeles comedy community. Instead, we sat in silence for 25 minutes. I think Gina used that time to reply to e-mails. * – My words, not hers.
