What inspired BoJack Horseman's funeral episode?

TheWrap

“For a few years we’ve had this idea of: What if it’s just BoJack talking for a half-hour? With nobody else talking,” says creator Raphael Bob-Waksberg, in an interview with TheWrap. “For awhile we couldn’t figure out what that would be or why he would do that...What is he doing that is just him talking? Is it therapy? Is it him giving a speech? Is he talking to somebody in the hospital?...We kind of landed on this eulogy story and we felt like, if his mother died, there would be a lot to talk about.”
