February/March 2006 By: Marsha Gorodkin The creative television writing and producing team of Joey Gutierrez and Diane Burroughs have written for a string of successful sitcoms. Their current hit is the show they created, Still Standing, now in its 4th season. Still Standing is a comedy about a blue-collar Chicago couple working to raise their three children without losing sight of the cool couple they used to be. The show stars Mark Addy, Jami Gertz, Jennifer Irwin, Taylor Ball, Renee Olstead, Soleil Borda and Joel Murray. One of CBS Studio Center’s longest-running current productions, Still Standing established its home on Stage 20 and the Mack Sennett Building. Before embarking on their television careers, Burroughs and Gutierrez were involved in Chicago’s stand-up circuit fulfilling a childhood passion for comedy. Gutierrez’ father, a steel worker, drove him to the local comedy clubs for two years until he was old enough to drive himself. From the tender age of 16 and for the next 13 years Gutierrez performed on stage in various clubs including The Improv, Caroline’s Comedy Club, and Catch a Rising Star. He also made a variety of television appearances on shows such as The David Brenner Show,
Arsenio Hall. States Gutierrez, “I performed at the Komedy Kove and earned five bucks a set. Back then it was a huge deal to me.” While continuing stand-up at a local Chicago club, Zanies, Gutierrez met Jerry Seinfeld. Shortly thereafter he wrote Jerry Seinfeld’s “uncredited” stand-up material for the first five seasons of the critically acclaimed sitcom Seinfeld.

Spring Equinox CALENDAR Which Saturday Night Live cast member created the character of the little girl named “Judy Miller,” also the name of Jami Gertz’s character on Still Standing? Hint: Jami Gertz portrayed her in the TV QUESTION ANSWER on page 4 February/March 2006 3 Burroughs pursued a modeling career in the 80’s but her talents were more than skin-deep. She produced a monthly newsletter, Models Network, to help young models meet legitimate people in the industry. The newsletter featured interviews with photographers and agents, and provided advice shared by other models. Having successfully met the challenges of modeling, Burroughs decided to pursue her passion for improv comedy and stand-up. Realizing too soon that opportunities for women in stand-up were scarce, the aspiring comedienne, determined to be more proactive, created Chicago Women in Comedy. Burroughs explains, “We got our own venues and rented out clubs so that talented female comediennes had more opportunities to make a living and work on their craft.” Her initiative paid off when this gained the attention of the press and many of their shows sold out. The genre of the ‘all female night of entertainment’ created by Burroughs continued for several years. The shows would later be incorporated into a cabaret with medleys of songs and improvisation. Gutierrez and Burroughs met at Chicago’s famous Second City, the theatre that launched the careers of such comic greats as John Belushi, Mike Myers, Bill Murray, Gilda Radner, and more. They began writing many scripts together but the team’s television career began with the help of good friend, actor, writer, producer and alumni of Second City Chicago, Timothy Kazurinsky. “He sent one of our scripts to Married With Children and they liked it. So we just packed our stuff and drove out to Los Angeles. Nine months later Married
Following the sale of their first script to Married With Children, Gutierrez and Burroughs joined the Warner Brothers Writer’s Workshop. Their first jobs after graduating the program were executive story editors on the series Martin. Additional television credits include co- executive producers on the series Yes, Dear for CBS, and The Drew Carey Show.
