John Robert Hoffman on Only Murders in the Building
Episode 7
Thursday, 9 October, 2025
Actor, writer, and producer John Hoffman talks to Matthew about co-creating and showrunning the hit television show "Only Murders in the Building,” which is now in its fifth season on Hulu. Hoffman addresses writing lines for comedic greats like Martin Short and Steve Martin, his writing schedule (start early!) and how he deals with studio notes. He also describes the wonder of having a series snap together: “For me, it’s like an internal turn of the dial that says, ‘OK, I understand it all now. I understand how the whole thing holds together thematically and emotionally and how it can be funny and all of that. I can see it.’ And once it clicks in that way, then everything's fun. Getting there is the work.” To connect with the team and gain access to behind the scenes content, join our community at joinoriginstories.com. You can also find us on Instagram, TikTok & Youtube.
