The series stars Jay Baruchel as Josh Greenburg, a romantic young man recently dumped by his long-time girlfriend, Maggie ( Maya Erksine ). Thrust back into the single life, Josh faces the delights and perils of single life with the help of his best friend ( Eric Andre ) and older sister ( Britt Lower ), all in a way never before seen on television. See, this is not your average RomCom - surreal as it is sweet, Man Seeking Woman is an absurdist, heartfelt depiction of life in the modern dating scene. At only 30 years old, series creator and executive producer Simon Rich has the resume of someone twice his age - He served as President of the Harvard Lampoon before graduating to work at Saturday Night Live and Pixar, and published four books and multiple pieces for The New Yorker along the way. While visiting the set of Man Seeking Woman last November I had an opportunity to sit down for an exclusive interview with Rich. He talked about the process of adapting his book The Last Girlfriend on Earth into a TV series, how much creative freedom he had, why the show hangs on Jay Baruchel's shoulders, what he learned on Saturday Night Live , and more. Check out what he had to say after the jump. Tell me about the process of taking this from your writing on page to putting it on the screen. SIMON RICH: Right, it's sort of a long process because I started writing these short stories about five or six years ago. These supernatural, absurd love stories, and then I started publishing those in The New Yorker and then I collected all those love stories into a book. That I think came out in about early 2013 and then I started adapting it into this weird show. Now it's almost 2015, so it's hard to believe. Was adapting it in your mind while you were writing your short stories or did that idea come after? RICH: It came after. I always dreamt of doing a sitcom like this but I never expected that I would get a chance to do it, so I feel really lucky. I have a lot of gratitude that FX has allowed me to attempt something as strange as this show. Yeah, totally. Let's talk a little about the strangeness. RICH: Yeah, it really is. Outside of the pages of The New Yorker I've never had this level of creative freedom. Is it difficult or important to walk a line so you don't maybe get too weird and alienate an audience? RICH: Yeah, the most important goal of our show is to make sure that everything is emotionally grounded and that every scene is emotionally accessible and relatable. We try our best to never have it be insane for the sake of being insane. All the premises are kind of just surreal paintings of the experiences that I think we've all had. Experiences like getting dumped, or loving somebody who doesn't love you back, or sleeping with the wrong person, these very basic universal emotions are at the core of the episode. It's a very weird show. There's time travel, there's aliens, there's an exorcism, and a Japanese penis monster, but at it's core it's a very simple show about a guy trying to find love. Those all sound excellent. Is there a particular gag your excited about and excited for people to see? RICH: In episode 7 Jay goes to a destination wedding in Hell. I'm really excited to shoot that. How far into the season are you guys in filming right now? RICH: Pretty far. We crossboard, so we're doing three simultaneously right now.
