Winfield (the guy on the right playing Walt  &#8220;Clyde&#8221; Frasier) at a comedy club in Sacramento, CA, while writing for  another comedian and it was immediately clear he had something very  special. \u00a0Several months later I approached him with the idea of doing a  sketch comedy pilot. \u00a0Recently, we completed the pilot and are starting  to shop it around Hollywood. \u00a0You&#8217;re going to see big things out of  Mike E. in the future.<\/p>\n<p>As we wait to see if the pilot gets picked up, please enjoy this quick commercial break from our sponsors&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>by Travis Kurtz<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><strong>Working on JUST FOR KIDS SET by Mike E. Winfield<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Even though my career has been going really well, it was interesting being on the set because director Travis Kurtz had everyone on the set well informed of my past projects, and they made me feel like such a big star. I wasn&#8217;t expecting that reaction from the rest of the cast, but we were still able to stay loose and be flexible within our performances. The kids were the best. Kids are often so humble and they visibly show that they are happy to be there, and that put me at ease. I believe that in a comfortable environment, you will achieve your best results. That was the first time Travis and I worked together, and I was pleased with his style of maintaining order with so much activity going on. Our results have only been uphill since this recording, and I am beyond excited for what we have coming up soon.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I watch a lot of baseball. \u00a0I mean, A LOT of baseball. \u00a0Usually when I should be writing, I&#8217;ll procrastinate by watching a baseball game. \u00a0Between pitches, I can ignore the commercials and be alone with my thoughts to think about half-formed ideas or a new comedy sketch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":""},"categories":[10,22],"tags":[1827,1835,1826,1822,1821,1831,1828,114,1830,1833,1825,1829,1832,1834,1824,1823],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v15.9.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Just For Kids (starring Mike E.
