If you're a fan of 'The Simpsons', 'Futurama' and 'Bob's Burgers', there's a new animated show in town that is bound to have you stoked. Titled 'Disenchantment', this show comes from the house of the legendary Matt Groening, who happens to be the same person that has blessed us with the classics mentioned above. And as is the case with most of his works, he decided to have voice actors who have previously worked on his show before, to collaborate on this one too. Meaning, we have the iconic David Herman — yes, the one from the cult classic 'Office Space' — reprising his work in the house of Groening once again. 

In a casual chat with MEAWW, Herman spoke about his upcoming show, the thrills of working with Netflix and Matt Groening, and of course, things that you can do as a young comedian that you seem to grow out of once you've evolved as a veteran in the genre. Here are some excerpts of his conversation with us:
