Hi, I'm Adam Conover from truTV’s Adam Ruins Everything, hopefully I don't ruin this AMA, but Ask Me Anything! : IAmA

1 week pitching topics 1 week outlining the episode 1 week writing a first draft (research is going on throughout this entire period) 1 month revising the script 4 full days to shoot the script (each of which is a 12 hour shoot day) 3-4 weeks editing the footage, creating graphics, color correcting, etc.
Now, multiply that by the 14 episodes we made this year, and remember that this is happening for 14 episodes simultaneously! It's quite a workload, and one that our staff are absolute superstars for handling.
