LOU WILSON on Dimension 20, Writing for Jimmy Kimmel, and his Comedy Journey

[@ittakesauniverse]

What was your biggest takeaway from Lou's journey?

[@otherguy8296]

I did NOT expect Zachary!

"People will always have time to tell you when you're fucking it up, they'll never have time to tell you you're doing good, they'll sometimes make time to tell you you're doing great." Very validating to hear as a young professional and artist in general. Veterans in the industry will rarely say when they think you did good because they have 20 other people to talk to.

[@ittakesauniverse]

Thank you for watching. This part also resonated with me as well. It was a great reminder to hear this. 🤩

Kudos to Lou Wilson carefully explaining how he was able to live at his family's home AND that he already had a community, so he had a BUNCH of things going for him already. He's not discounting the difficulty of making it work as an actor and writer, he's acknowledging how important it is to use whatever you can to stack the deck in your favor. AND he still took regular work to make ends meet so he could pursue his career. PERSIST on hope, LIVE on hard work, using whatever you can.

[@ittakesauniverse]

Thank you for watching! Wow, what a great way to summarize his journey. Couldn't agree more! 🤩

[@ro5alia]

amazing that even as a small channel you're able to reach out and get to do interviews with such popular people

[@ittakesauniverse]

Thank you for watching! Luckily, I also perform improv and sketch comedy here in LA and the comedy community is very tight knit. So, some of my guests I see pretty regularly. Very grateful to all of them for their time. 🤩🙏

[@ro5alia]

@@ittakesauniverse oh, that's lovely. Watching from afar I can't necessarily gauge that sort of thing so it is lovely to know that they are so active in the community. You're a good interviewer and I hope you continue to grow and succeed :))

[@ittakesauniverse]

​@ro5alia Yes, they are active and perform regularly in LA. So kind of you! Thank you! 🤩Wishing you an amazing 2025! 🥳

[@curtisholsinger6023]

This was just so much fun to listen to. You're a good interviewer. Keep pushing!

[@ittakesauniverse]

Thank you, Curtis! 🌟

[@KB-ru2rk]

Lou also fosters community by always appearing to be SUCH A GOOD FRIEND to anyone around them that people who get to see it want to also behave similarly ❤️

[@ittakesauniverse]

Yeah, he is a rad amigo. 🌟

good video I like to see Lou Wilson thrive and be successful and this episode was very insightful thank you

[@ittakesauniverse]

Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching! 🤩

[@rocketracoon709]

Such an insightful video! Don't know why I haven't seen any interviews with Lou before, fascinating to hear about his artistic experiences and community and motivation advice. Thanks for sharing this interview! ❤

[@ittakesauniverse]

Thank you for watching! It's always great to learn how other folks have accomplished their goals! 🤩

[@TheBaldParakeet]

Lou is a treasure. Good on him and hope everyone is staying safe ITAU: please eiher get 2 mics or remix the dual audio to both be stereo. Having lou on left mono mostly and you on the right mono mostly is really harsh to listen to.

[@abjaaksm]

This was so great to listen to as a burgeoning musician 😊 finding community is such a great piece of advice

[@ittakesauniverse]

@@abjaaksm Happy to hear that. Best of luck to you on your journey. Thank you for watching! 🤩

Sam says don’t flinch

Who is Sam? 🙂

@@ittakesauniverse it's a reference to game changer! here's a link to the exact moment, but def recommend watching the whole compilation, haha: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r32qn2upl9CVfMksi=yHm98TsutKlP5KI5&t=346 thanks for having Lou on the channel! I also went to a montessori style elementary school and did theater every year. so cool to hear he had a similar experience and how it shaped him!!

[@ittakesauniverse]

@@minus1int Thank you for sharing the reference! I was so lost. 🤣 Thank you for watching. It is cool that you two had similar experiences. 🤩

[@minus1int]

@@ittakesauniverse haha no prob!! also I recognize that sending you a Lou Dropout compilation is still confusing af, so I found the whole Sam-Says episode if you're interested in some weird gameshow-style improv: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIWQq42pn9yNgc0si=QHlWJIfjuz2W6zkz It's not like Dimension 20 it's short!!! 🤣

[@ittakesauniverse]

@@minus1int Hahaha. Thank you! 😅

[@curtisholsinger6023]

I'm hoping you are safe and sheltered from the fires. Stay safe.

[@ittakesauniverse]

Thank you! 🙏

[@seem_okay_studio]

I sometimes wish Lou Wilson was a real person.

[@ittakesauniverse]

He is real. 🤣 What do you mean by that? 🤔

[@leas.5596]

He is a real person - are you thinking his personality seems insincere?

[@TheBaldParakeet]

That's solid AI work, NGL

[@sheyslibrary]

His legal name is Zachary??😮

[@ittakesauniverse]

🤣🤣🤣
