Remember our interview with Gary Rudoren and Eric Hoffman, the guys who wrote Comedy By Numbers? Chicago megablogger Claire Zulkey also interviewed them. What did she get out of them that we didn't? A little tidbit about the unique origins of Gary's last name:

"Well, about a year after we got married, my wife and I decided to do this weird thing where we melded parts of both of our names into a single family name. An odd, but egalitarian approach. My wife’s a journalist, so she had a byline, I had kind of a name too with my theater and architecture work– it was a big move for both us, but we’ve embraced it. In January 2006, Gary Ruderman and Jodi Wilgoren became Gary & Jodi Rudoren."
