Happened…more than once. A celebrity guest? Allison Brie, Donald Glover, and Gillian Jacobs among others have all stopped in. Getting super personal with an intimate audience? Always.

March 18th at 7pm it’s Writer’s Guild Foundation presents Genre Smash!

Eric Kripke was a journeyman writer, working on shorts and a short-lived Tarzan series before creating Supernatural – about two brothers who tour the country in a ’67 Impala fighting demons – in 2005. The show would go on to garner a huge fan base and persist for ten seasons. New episodes are still in production.  But that’s not all! In 2012, Eric debuted Revolution on NBC, a post-apocalyptic drama about a worldwide blackout. The show has been nominated for multiple Saturn Awards including Best New Television Series, which it won. March 18, Eric will be on hand to chat about creating (and later leaving) Supernatural, as well as Revolution and his other projects.
