Mike White - your Dad, your family, your friends and MILLIONS of us are so impressed and so deeply happy for you, and in awe of your talent. All the best always!

Mike is a real human being. And a terrific writer.

[@raleighsmalls4653]

See, kids ? It takes them 30 yrs to acknowledge you if you actually ARE talented.

[@debreciafonville8963]

Great interview! The White Lotus has been my favorite show since the first season. The second season definitely did not disappoint. Great job to the entire team ‼️

[@TheUkulelegal]

Mike White. You are a brilliant writer. And, humble. I'm a big, big, big, big, big, big fan.

[@dcool2u2]

Didn't know he wrote School Of Rock! I know he was in it. One of my favorite movies.

[@ewolfgirl]

School of Rock is my family’s all-time fav movie. We reference it all the time, as well as Nacho Libre! Absolutely loved both seasons of White Lotus. Congrats to Mike White and all involved on the success of this show! 👏👏👏

@@ewolfgirl I love School Of Rock. One of the movies I own from way back on DVD.. There are some great extra features on it. I'm a musician and love that the kids really could play their instruments. The song they play at the battle of the bands gives me goosebumps. I love the guitar intro riff. It's sad that we lost Kevin Clark who played the drums though. 😔 Mike White was great as the roommate. super talented.

I would love to see what kind of character Jack Black would play in The White Lotus 😂

I was really disappointed when I heard the show was being resurrected for another season. I thought the original miniseries stood alone so well. Having seen most of the second season now, I’m so glad they went ahead with it. I think it’s even better.

[@ahmetvlaeev]

Thanks for a good interview! Mike seems to be a nice guy and passionate about the show.

Its so crazy I only ever knew Mike White as a Survivor contestant and then to learn he is the creator of the White Lotus

[@riogalore]

Totally recall seeing him on The Amazing Race! Totally mind blowing he created such an amazing Tv Show!

[@deb1442]

Mike White ==== the real deal ---- all the best for him.

[@ct6852]

Finally saw Enlightenment a few years ago and knew immediately he was pretty great. But wasn't sure if he'd ever find material that could truly crossover to mainstream success. Glad he did. Absolutely deserves the success.

[@sealife13]

My favorite screenwriter since enlightened

But there's nothing g wrong with flirting..it eucks to be born and unsatisfied..let the flirt and hopefully the other person will reciprocate..and maybe a young person will flirt back ..as long as they are not harassing or forcing anything..

[@sandramilfort9261]

A mischievous appeal ... yup

[@darlenesee2561]

My husband hates watching my shows with me, he snoozes through them next to me. on the 3 episode of The White Lotus he suddenly woke up and shouted out loud "Stifflers Mom!"
