Comedy Writer
with Mike Carrier
Lila Scott and Mike Carrier met while writing on Netflix’s Polly Pocket. They realized they both had a wicked sense of humor when Lila pitched a gag where Polly’s hair was set on fire and Mike was the only one who laughed. Since then they’ve been developing shows to get out of the toy-box and into primetime.
They have a passion for multi-cams and developed the show BUNKERS with Taylor Cox (Girls5Eva, Only Murders in the Building) about a group of neighbors who can’t stand each other and accidentally get trapped in an underground bunker together. They’re currently developing a mockumentary set in the world of CIA spies.
Together, Lila Scott & Mike Carrier have sold pilots to WARNER BROS. and COMEDY CENTRAL. They've staffed on NETFLIX'S Polly Pocket and NICKELODEON'S Monster High. Lila was the head writer on Polly Pocket season 5 and NETFLIX's Unicorn Academy season 3. Mike has been published by THE NEW YORKER and won the LA COMEDY FESTIVAL.
Lila Fun Facts!
Lila is pet-mom to an adorable one-eyed rabbit, Captain Maddi, who hates people. Unless you have some apple slices to give her. Then she’ll come running!
Lila is growing a tree from the pit of a random avocado she ate in November 2023. She named the tree Avoclaudo and he is currently just shy of two feet tall.
In middle school, Lila went to see The Lizzie McGuire Movie and ended up sitting next to George Lucas in the movie theater. And that’s what inspired her to go to film school.
Mike Fun Facts!
Mike once hired a real bounty hunter to try arresting him. It did not go well.
Mike performed stand up comedy dressed as a milk carton. So if you went to a show and thought you were hallucinating a hilarious milk carton - you weren’t! It was Mike!
Mike was raised by a single mom who played on an all-mom ice hockey team called “The Mother Ducks”.
