Television writer and producer Brigitte Muñoz-Liebowitz really struggled to find a character that she saw herself in -- a Latinx, first-generation American, striving to do her best as a woman in a male-dominated world. But when she found Amy Santiago (played on BROOKLYN NINE-NINE by Melissa Fumero), Brig REALLY found her -- she got hired to write on BROOKLYN NINE-NINE not long after the show began, and it kickstarted her career writing for TV comedies (People of Earth, Love Life, One Day at a Time, Gordita Chronicles).
Then, Jordan has one quick thing about a heatwave rewatch of 1983's KRULL.
