Former Twitter CEO Dick Costolo Has His Next Gig: Writing for HBO’s Silicon Valley - Bloomberg Business

Probably more fun than Twitter board meetings

"Dick Costolo, a onetime stand-up comedian, says he's spending a couple of days a week working in the writers room for the third season of the tech-industry parody show. "I'm in the writers room, and it's more consulting than writing. There's plenty of writing talent in the room," Costolo wrote in an e-mail. "I'm answering questions and describing how interactions would work between executives, VCs, employees, etc."
In an interview on Bloomberg TV, show creator Mike Judge said the writers use Costolo as a sounding board to ensure that story lines are plausible. "He's a funny guy," Judge said in the interview, taped at a Vanity Fair conference in San Francisco. "It's just great to be able to be spinning stories, coming up with ideas, and just go, 'Hey, Dick, would this ever happen?'""
