This week, Jennifer & David are joined by two of the very best Wizards of Waverly Place writers, Gigi McCreery and Perry M. Rein! Gigi and Perry have written for countless sitcoms, including Friends and Raven’s Home.

The crew talk about Gigi and Perry’s unbelievable Hollywood beginnings (spoiler: it includes Al Pacino AND Harrison Ford), how they got involved on Wizards, and the best Wizards’ easter eggs, with spells like “McReary-Time Reary.” They also give an up close and personal look into what it was really like working on Friends.

How did David shatter his collarbone? Why are sitcom sets so cold? Tune in now!
