Joshua Malina steals Rob Kutner's Brains! INTERVIEW - a podcast by Bob Andelman

Today's Guests: Joshua Malina, actor, “Scandal,” “The West Wing,” “Sports Night,” podcast host, “The West Wing Weekly”; Rob Kutner, creator, “Runaway Brains,” monologue writer, “Conan”

JOSHUA MALINA podcast excerpt: “I want to push Shonda (creator and showrunner of ’Scandal’) toward shorter hair for my character. The less hair I have, the less obvious it will be that I’m losing my hair… I think the shorter haircut will work for the attorney general, but I might be out of a job.”
