That’s Damon Lindelof, former exec producer and co-creator of Lost.

What Lost producers do when their show finishes – train sports stars
Lost has finished. So what do producers do after their shows finish? Well, in Carlton Cuse’s case, he’s off training sports stars, in this case baseball star CJ Wilson. Well, that’s what he claims he’s doing anyway…
US TV
Review: Mr Sunshine 1×1
In the US: Wednesdays, 9.30/8.30c, ABC
Imagine there’s a heaven. More exactly, imagine there’s a TV heaven, a TV heaven where all your favourite actors can go to when their existing series end. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?
Well, ABC has found it and it’s called Mr Sunshine. It stars:
- Matthew Perry! Chandler from Friends! Yey!
- Allison Janney! CJ from The West Wing! Yey!
- Andrea Anders! The woman who lived next door to Joey on Joey and was in that Better Off Ted thing! Yey!
- Jorge Garcia! Hurley from Lost! Yey!
How awesome is that?
Of course, it would also be great if TV heaven was a good show as well. Fortunately, Mr Sunshine is actually a very good half hour of fun, in which Perry – the somewhat grumpy Mr Sunshine of the title – has to try to manage a San Diego sports centre, juggling the constant demands of his very sunny best friend, his often high boss (Janney) and his friend (with benefits) Andrea Anders.
Cue the trailer – just imagine it has Jorge Garcia instead of the old Latino guy instead.
