I found more
Ha! I found where I read that!
"O'Brien was living in Los Angeles at the time -- early 1993 -- and putting his
life back together. Nineteen ninety-one had been his annus horribilis: In quick
succession, an engagement to be married fell through; a sitcom pilot he created
with Robert Smigel wasn't picked up; and, burned out, he quit Saturday Night
Live. His self-esteem was so shot that when The Simpsons called, he wasn't sure
he was up to the job.
But after a year, he was happy again. He was doing his best writing ever in The
Simpsons's best season; he had become a supervising producer of the show. With
the help of an old Groundlings friend, Lisa Kudrow, he'd found a nice
apartment. And then he and Kudrow became involved. He liked L.A.; he felt he
could stay there. "
