TV movies, pilots, and specials are all disqualified, so here's some projects that didn't make this list:
Jena
Friedman has two TV specials in her Soft Focus (2018) series that are the
closest things you find tonally to her show True Crime Story:
Indefensible, her standup, and confrontational yet humorous interviews
like you might find in Da Ali G Show or Who is America?
Bryan Fuller has an
incredible track record. However, there's some pilots of his that weren't
picked up. Check out The Amazing Screw-On Head (2006), High Moon (2014), and Mockingbird Lane (2012).
Dan Harmon co-created the '99 cult classic pilot Heat Vision and Jack.
Tom Kenny did voicework for Korgoth of Barbaria (2006), a Mike Lazzo produced cartoon that Adult Swim didn't feel
they could justify the price tag for at the time. Tom Kenny was also
in the improv TV movie / inside joke that not quite everybody was in
on, Windy City Heat (2003).
Bob Odenkirk did a post-Mr. Show pilot
called Next! (2001) and also developed the Derek and Simon (2005) webseries.
Scott Aukerman and Zach Galifianakis co-created the webshow Between Two Ferns.
