“I saw her act and realized she had the improv skills and the empathy to talk to kids,” Schotz says of Haddish. “She was a natural.”
“It was overwhelming,” Schotz says. “When you think you’re losing everything you’ve ever worked for in your life — it was rough. There were days it was tough to get up and go to work.” Eventually, Schotz regrouped under a new production banner, Anvil 1893 Entertainment, which is designed as a boutique rather than the “TV factory” that LMNO had become. Anvil 1893 is run as a family business, with Schotz’s wife, Linda, his partner of 39 years, and son Andrew among its roughly 30 employees.
