What “Inside the Actor’s Studio” is to acting, “The Writers' Room” is to writing. Quick-witted host Jim Rash uses his vast knowledge and experience of both screenwriting and acting to conduct illuminating conversations with the writers, showrunners and stars of “American Horror Story”, “New Girl”, “Breaking Bad”, “Dexter”, “Parks and Recreation”, and “Game of Thrones”.
