Cartoon Network's newest show, Regular Show, has become an instant cult hit. I get a chance to talk to him about his show, his influences from the '80s, his friends, and his childhood. I also ask him about the trend many cartoons have about putting 20-somethings as leading characters in cartoons.
It's been over a year since the notorious "right-brained or left-brained" ballerina started dancing across the web.
