After, we talk about the challenge of comedy in the pandemic, when for him very little has seemed funny, and his crew at FadedComedyLA had their legs cut out from under them by COVID. Few parts of the universe have been more badly damaged over the last year than the universe of standup.

How has all of this impacted his ability to enjoy the NBA? Well, for starters he feels bad for even watching. Especially since his Celtics are underperforming.

Finally, what would you do if you found 68 lbs of cocaine, worth $1.5 million bucks?

They're the hosts of a new hoops pod, and one well worth finding in a crowded basketball podcast space. They're Jordan Ligons and Haley O'Shaughnessy, of the Spinsters. We welcome them on, talking... -How Jordan's great aunt went from a Lakers fan to a Celtics fan... in the 80's! Like, really, how does that happen? -Jordan is a die hard Lakers fan, Haley a huge LeBron fan. Are either of them enjoying the amount of work he's having to do right now to keep the Lakers afloat without Anthony Davis? -There is a tremendous amount of focus on the number of minority head coaches, more specifically Black head coaches, in the NBA. Much less attention, however, goes to the WNBA, where there is only one Black female head coach. This in a league where more than 4/5ths of the players are Black women. Why doesn't this get more attention? -Finally, we play a game: What if teams could trade titles like draft picks? What would you want for LA's '09 title? Is '10 off the table? Should OKC trade that one random title from Seattle? What would you get for it?…

It's among the most unique podcasts out there. Lour After Hours, a gathering of huge Dan LeBatard Show fans, has grown organically into a huge community of podcasters and guests, with all kinds of interesting characters. So how did this all happen? What brought the crew together, and how has it grown into something with this big a life? That's where we start when joined by five members of the Lour crew (Jeff, Jeanette, Art, Lou and @BeepCount). Which Lour folks have taken on the personalities of the show crew? From there, we talk action heroes and coked out bears. Elizabeth Banks is set to direct a film - true story! - about a bear that finds, then eats, a massive amount of coke, then dies of an OD. Which action hero character is best suited to take on this sort of challenge, were an action hero deemed necessary? Then, we play a game around the best films of 1998. If you had to build a poker hand of cinematic dominance, which movies would you include? Then how would you create a hand out of Meryl Streep films? Finally, we get hats!!!…

One of the things making LA special is its extensive mural culture. Across every neighborhood in the city, people can find a variety of public art chronicling the LA's history, culture, citizenry and more. Robert Vargas is a big part of that, responsible for a diverse group of murals across Los Angeles. We start on his upbringing in Boyle Heights, a hub of mural culture in the city. When did he find art? What type of support did he get from his family? Why did he turn to murals as an expression of his talent? Why is mural culture so important to L.A.? Is it a different process with different objectives when completing one in Boyle Heights vs. the Valley vs. the Westside? We talk about his Kobe murals, the newest at the Zambezi off Jefferson in Santa Monica. What inspired him? What kind of images did he choose, and why? We move from Kobe, one of the most visible people this city has ever seen, to his inclusion of a member of its most invisible community. For a mural downtown, he started by painting a homeless man named Craig. Why is it so important to have representation of people like that, who so few people ever really see? Finally, on Friday we had 710 ESPN's Steve Mason on the show, who showed us two oil paintings from his oil painting phase. We have Robert review them. Finally, we discuss Meyers Leonard and the anti-Semitic slur he used Tuesday. What could/should the fallout be?…

Steve Mason has been a mainstay of LA radio for multiple decades. We've known him for almost two... and on Friday's Late Night Happy Hour learned all kinds of new stuff about the guy. We start on vaccinations. He got one, hanging out at the local Rite-Aid. Turns out, they had some spares. So what's he going to do with his newfound freedom, once he and his partner get the other half of the vax? From there, we turn to his oil painting days, something he revealed this week promoting his show. Turns out, painting was a phase, one of many, and arguably the most normal. After, it's on to the Dodgers and the Rams. How excited is he for returning to the stadiums? Are the Dodgers going to be pushed by the Padres? Will the Rams be able to navigate some important personnel losses this offseason? Has any shine worn off Sean McVay? We discuss Steve's "Culture Pop" podcast which has pulled in some great guests of late. Just how close was he to landing a career in musical theater? What about pandemic TV? Why have certain shows hit and others not? Is Better Call Saul better than Breaking Bad? How will popular shows like Succession handle the pandemic? All of that and more on Friday's Late Night Happy Hour!…

After breaking down his extremely judgmental mattress, we stumble into a Knicks conversation. They're as good as they've been in years, but does that actually make them good? We discuss. What about the Western Conference? The Lakers are banged up, the Clippers have had Covid-19 protocol issues, the Jazz have lost three of four... who's the best squad? According to Travonne, it was the Lakers before, it's the Lakers now. Why? Superstars. The Lakers have super-elite ones, other teams don't. There's a difference he says between franchise players and All Stars. What about the All Star Game? Why is it happening? Is the league garnering any goodwill with players by focusing so much on HBCUs, Black owned brands, Black artists and more? Not as much as they'd like, Travonne says. Finally, we wrap talking about his shows on the BOMM Podcast series, and the new series, "Soul of a Nation."…

If you frequent The Ringer, you know his work, either written for their NBA and MLB departments or as part of the production team on the popular "Binge Mode" podcast Zach Kram joins the Late Night Happy Hour, and we start with the NBA game of the night, with Utah and Philly, two teams vying for seeding and respect. Philly wins, behind a monster game for Joel Embiid. Is this the year where the huge talent and big numbers translate into something bigger? What's different about Embiid this year? And what's different about hoops? What does the next generation look like? Kram makes a great point about how this is the first generation of kids who grew up watching shooters like Steph Curry or Damian Lillard, and bigs who regularly shoot - and make - 3's like Karl Anthony Towns. The game is only going to evolve more into a pace/space/skill direction. We talk All Star controversies. Why is Mike Conley not heading to Atlanta (at least not yet)? What should the NBA be doing to make the game better, and get more worthy players involved? What about the league's refereeing problem? What might fix it? We then dive into "nerd tv," specifically around Star Wars and Marvel. Why do these projects seem to translate so much better to TV, especially when looking at Star Wars? Because, dirty little secret, most of the movies kind of suck. Finally, we look at Fernando Tatis, Jr., and why he's arguably the most important player in baseball, even if he's not the best.…

Anthony Slater, who covers the Warriors and the NBA for The Athletic, joins to talk Western Conference contenders, refereeing, the state of Golden State and more. We start by maybe, just maybe, encouraging Lakers fans to slow their roll on Damian Jones. He's looked good in his first two games in purple and gold - hasn't missed a shot! - but there's a reason the center has been let go by three teams over the course of a very short career. But is there a role he can fill? Can the Lakers expect the buyout market to yield... anything? Next, it's the Phoenix Suns, who beat an undermanned Lakers team Tuesday night. How good are they? Can they challenge the perceived elites in the West? Why has Chris Paul been able to resurrect his career in ways people may not have seen coming? (Plants!... in part.) Does the NBA have a referee problem? The game Tuesday, a marquee matchup on national TV, was undercut by the quick-trigger ejection of Suns star Devin Booker. What can the NBA do about that, and what appears to be a crazy number of reviews, particularly in late game situations? Why has Steph Curry been able to rebound so well this year, after an injury plagued 2020? What has made this year unique, relative to others in his career. And do the Warriors regret taking James Wiseman over LaMelo Ball?…

Does Duff Goldman share food? -What will "normal" look like, when it comes to food and eating after the pandemic? What habits have people developed that they'll keep? What snaps back? How will restaurants that have managed to survive while changing menus and making new offerings respond? Will they go back to what they were doing before, or is how we eat out destined to change long term? -Everyone knows there's a secret menu at In'N'Out.But not everyone knows how to maximize its potential.

He talks about the genesis of the idea, and what it was like working with so many talented comedians and musicians in the midst of a pandemic. From there, it's Damian Lillard and what makes him so much fun to watch (though not as fun as Steph Curry, Schilling contends) and the much ballyhooed sweater game of Lakers star Anthony Davis. Also, are shoulder pads back? And who should be wearing them? And where are we on Coming 2 America? Is it a good thing Eddie Murphy is playing 183 characters in a movie again?…

Spring Training kind of snuck up on us, but now that we know it's here, we have questions. And to answer them, we hit up Jorge Castillo, who does outstanding work covering the Dodgers for the LA Times. We start with atmosphere. It's no a normal Spring Training, whether talking about the players or the media covering them. What's the atmosphere like? How are the Dodgers responding to being champs... but in the weirdest possible season? Is there any chip on their shoulder, or a need to prove last year was legit by winning again over 162 games? The projections for the Dodgers this year are insane. As high as 107 wins, according to simulations from ESPN. Who else could come close? If you have to pick nits with this team, where do you start? Castillo points to the back end of the pen, but even that's not a big problem in the spring, and may not become one in October. What about Trevor Bauer? Any fear he could upset what has been some excellent chemistry over the last year-plus? How does the Bauer deal reflect the current economics of baseball? And what might be coming as the league and the Player's Association get closer to negotiating a new CBA? Hint: It could get very ugly, very fast, he says. Finally, we have a long conversation about language in clubhouses. Castillo, whose family is from Puerto Rico, writes in both English and Spanish for the Times. He talks about what is lost when media can't communicate with Spanish-native players in their first language, and how too often Spanish speaking players are treated as a monolith, when culturally there are huge differences.…

The Jazz thumped the Lakers on Wednesday. No big surprise given the current state of the champs, who are still down Anthony Davis and Dennis Schroder. And also because the Jazz are routinely kicking the crap out of any team they play. So at this point, with the best record in the league by a pretty good margin, with a run of dominance few teams have matched in recent years, we ask the official question of The Late Night Happy Hour... "Are the Jazz for real?" Sabreena is a believer. There's a lot to like about this team, and many reasons to believe what they're doing is sustainable. That said, they're not without vulnerabilities. And in the playoffs, will some of the advantages they currently have over the competition go away? We all know why the Lakers are losing right now, but should fans be genuinely concerned about the shooting? After a moment to wonder whether Alex Caruso's new "Manscaped" ad is the greatest commercial a Laker has ever made, or just the best commercial anyone has ever made, we look at the Clippers. Why is it working this year, with Ty Lue? Is their incredibly good work from beyond the arc sustainable? What will be different this year in the playoffs? Why does this year's team make more sense? She calls them the best team in basketball. Finally, Sabreena, who was once a contestant on Jeopardy! gives her review of how Ken Jennings performed in his guest hosting capacity.…

He's a die hard fan, so on a personal level the struggles of the Boston Celtics this season are hitting NY Times NBA writer Sopan Deb particularly hard. But they have a simple explanation, at the root: The C's let an All-Star caliber player in Gordon Hayward go to Charlotte, and replaced him with... nothing. So add in a banged up Kemba Walker and an injured Marcus Smart, and what did people think was going to happen? That they'd be better than last year? Meanwhile, there's actual cause for optimism in New York, where Julius Randle has made the All Star team for the first time in his career. Deb profiled Randle for the Times, and we talk about the former first round pick's growth from Los Angeles through New Orleans and now for two years with the Knicks. What has helped him grow so much this year? It starts with stability, which is a weird thing to say about that franchise, but it seems they might have some. Finally, it's some music talk. Nobody stans for the Dave Matthews Band like Sopan, and he/they recently received quite an honor, one Deb feels he may have helped bring about. And what's the deal with the "dad" vibe Springsteen is putting out these days?…

It's not always easy to be a sports fan today, especially if you're a member of a community that hasn't traditionally been valued by the sports establishment - think women and LGBTQ people, for example - or simply enthusiastic fans whose team loyalties are exploited by greedy/apathetic/lousy team owners or large entities like the IOC and FIFA that suck cash out of communities in exchange for hosing mega-events. So what do fans do about it? How do they hold their teams, leagues and athletes responsible without walking away? What can sports do to improve from within? Complicated questions for people who love sports, and in their new book "Loving Sports When They Don't Love You Back," Kavitha Davidson and Jessica Luther explore these and more. After a quick update on Monday's fatigue-fueled loss to Washington for the Lakers, we dive into the interview. Who traditionally hasn't been "loved back" by sports? Who has, and how interested are they in being loved in a different way? Why are sports a place where fans are so willing to compartmentalize? What is it about sports loyalties that makes it hard to draw hard lines in the sand for people (even those in the groups sports tends to ignore -- Davidson and Luther, for example, are both massive sports fans)? How should people talk about trans athletes? Is there really a "problem" with trans women competing and hurting women's sports? Why are sports so often used as proxies for larger cultural battles? Why are Luther and Davidson ultimately optimistic? Finally, we close with a conversation about Ted Lasso, one of the great shows about the spirit of sports ever made.…

He obviously would prefer not to have to go, but will he put on a show, anyway? Jorge says yes, and explains why. Then we remember how exactly we got to this point in a very weird season, part of an even weirder year.... before getting to the evening's main course (about 30 minutes in...)

How does the absence of Davis impact the MVP campaign of LeBron James? If he carries the team could LeBron win the award, but hurt his chances at another title? What about the rest of the league? Is Utah for real? Just how bad are the Nets defensively, and how good is "good enough," given their star power? We debate.

We start on the Brooklyn Nets, who are the opponent for the Lakers in Thursday's big marquee national TV matchup. They can't stop anyone, really, but how good do they need to be on that side of the ball to be successful? It worked out well enough Tuesday against the Suns, as Brooklyn got enough stops to complete a big fourth quarter comeback with both Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant in street clothes. Just how bad on defense is good enough? What do the Lakers lose without Anthony Davis in the lineup? How can the team benefit, even knowing anything they do now with him out of the lineup won't stay "as is" once he returns? Jones notes why these games could ultimately benefit the Lakers. From there, we dive into the Kings, and the future of former Lakers head coach Luke Walton. Is he doing good work up there? How good should the Kings be? Will Walton survive this season and make it into next? Next, was Draymond Green on to something when he teed off on media and fans for the double standard he believes players are held to when it comes to trades and professionalism? Was he creating straw men? Complaining too much? Finally... Jason Jones loves his Dodgers. And with Spring Training basically here, he's ready to crown them again.…

We start with... movers! She recently swapped apartments, smack in the middle of the pandemic. And while the experience sucked, the movers did not. So that's a plus. From there, we talk decorating, which means Ikea. And the vastly different experience you have as a single, childless person vs. how you look at it as a parent of small children, when you need activity/food hacks at a low, low price. Then, it's on to basketball. The Lakers continue playing bad first quarters. The shooting has gone downhill. So is there any reason to worry? What's the appropriate amount? 5% concern? 10%? Which flaws might actually come back to haunt them? And who else in the league is best suited to beat them? A viewer asks us to name three teams, which ultimately leads to a debate about the Nets. Can they get good enough defensively to support a potentially unstoppable offense? What about the All Star Game? How big a mistake is it to stage the game, not just because of the pandemic -- it's reasonable to think the league can stage the game safely -- but because the players really, really don't want to do it? Should the stars rule the day? We wrap talking a little music. What makes something timeless? What artists of today could have real staying power? And why?…

Why has LA been so good at churning out pros? What skill set does an LA player have, compared to what you see out of New York or Chicago? We talk UCLA hoops. How thin are the margins for winning? People tend to forget the iconic Tyus Edney end-to-end run to beat Missouri was in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. If that doesn't happen, the entire arc of history around Bruins basketball changes. And Johnson notes the rest of the teams he played on in Westwood were really good... but not championship level. It's a very fine line. From there, he talks about the hard truths around college sports, and whether it can ever again reach the heights and significance it once had in the American sports landscape. Finally, he goes through some amazing stories of his time playing overseas, including being caught in a literal war zone as a pro in Lebanon. Also, eating Applebee's in places you wouldn't expect to find it.…

The Late Night Happy Hour turns 100 (in episodes, at least, as an independent entity) and as we do with all our historic shows, we turn to Ben Lyons as a guest. He was guest #1 in the original version, then guest #50. He was our first guest on the indie show, and now is our 100th. On a slow night in the NBA, we get deep into Hollywood, and what might be coming with awards season. This is, without question, the most unusual year for movies in decades, and maybe ever. Very few people have seen any of the films that will be nominated. How does that impact the way people will vote, whether for films or the acting/directing awards that come with them? Does the genie ever go back in the bottle, when it comes to streaming services getting their due as producers of Oscar/Emmy/etc. winning films? Ben used to review movies, and took a lot of heat. What's that process like? What approach is the right one for the people in charge of shaping perceptions of a film? And how about those Knicks!?!?! For the first time in a long time, the Knicks are actually entertaining and interesting, but not in a car crash kind of way. Not necessarily good, but the process of the regular season is a lot more interesting in some ways than what Lakers fans are going through, where so much of it is about just hoping nobody gets hurt.…

He does great work as an NBA writer at The Athletic, where he also hosts the recently launched video series The Restricted Area, with Wosny Lambre. But Zach Harper is also a movie guy, hosting the incredibly fun Cinephobe podcast for the Count the Dings network, and that's where we keep things on the Late Night Happy Hour. We start, as they tend to on Cinephobe, with a deep dive into Nicolas Cage, who might as well be the patron saint of that show, appearing 10 times in 71 total episodes. That's a lot. So how did this guy, who has legit acting chops, end up a cartoon character? Does he deserve all the crap his movies get these days? Can he ever re-legitimize himself, or is he too far gone? What makes a "good" bad movie? Is Rotten Tomatoes too influential? Why is Deep Blue Sea amazing, while so many movies like it totally suck? Finally, we cap things off with a hilarious exploration of John Travolta's career via his Rotten Tomatoes score, and it elicits some extreme emotions in Zach.…

He's the host of the Locked on Lakers podcast, one of the best ones out there. Anthony Irwin joins the Late Night Happy Hour, talking Lakers, LeBron James, the NBA and more... More in this case being his beloved Los Angeles Dodgers signing Cy Young winner Trevor Bauer. He's excellent at baseball. He's also a well-documented jerk who has harassed women online. We start, though, with a conversation about what it's like to cover a team that you grew up rooting for as a fan. Where are the boundaries? When can you, ostensibly a journalist trying to provide honest commentary to a group of listeners or readers, use "we" in reference to the team, as "regular" fans might? LeBron James has made it very, VERY clear he doesn't like the idea of the NBA staging an All Star Game. It's rare for James to be that vocally out of step with the league, so what happens now? For starters, he's given cover for a lot of other players to echo his sentiment. Any shot the league caves, given the amount of revenue the game could generate? Do the league's rank-and-file even want that? How about the Lakers on Thursday? What did they prove to the rest of the league by stomping the Denver Nuggets as badly as they did over the second half? Was the gear they hit something other teams can match? From there, we turn to Trevor Bauer. How does a Dodgers fan who wants to take seriously questions of bad behavior, particularly bad behavior towards women, look at the signing? How does this fit into the general trend of compartmentalizing that sports fans have -- or choose -- to do?…

CJ Toledano has worked as a comedian, a comedy writer, and a creator/producer of online, socially driven content with Bleacher Report (House of Highlights) and more. Now, he's launched Follow Through, an independent content studio geared towards sports. The guy knows social media backwards and he joins the Late Night Happy Hour to talk about the tremendous impact social media has had on sports, how its consumed and how leagues and players have reacted. How aware are the big players of this universe of alternatives people engage with? From there, we turn to comedy. Toledano was born in Iowa and moved to Erie, PA as a kid. Not exactly centers of diversity for a young Asian kid. How that experience laid the foundation for his entry into comedy. Finally, it's a look at some of the most random sports memorabilia a person can buy... and the person who bought it is CJ Toledano.…

Two guests! We start with Jake Brennan, host of Disgraceland, which enters its seventh season on a new home at Amazon Music. What makes this true crime/music mashup so much fun? Brennan talks about the characters that emerge in rock and roll that tell these stories, and what it's like to bring them to life. From there, it's onto the gridiron, where the Rams have been very, very busy. We connect with Lindsey Thiry of ESPN to break down the trade of Jared Goff to Detroit for Matthew Stafford, and discuss where the Rams go next.…

He's an NBA champion, beloved in Los Angeles and just about everywhere else, and Monday he joined the Late Night Happy Hour with the Kamenetzky Brothers. Metta World Peace has launched a new basketball app, called X vs. X Sports (@xvsxsports), which is designed to bring basketball players together to find games at a common skill level, from rec players to pro prospects. After a quick recap of the Lakers road trip and rotation changes before Metta joins ( at about the 25 minute mark ), we talk about what motivated him to develop the app, and what he hopes it becomes. It reflects something fundamental about pickup hoops culture, and why it matters so much to the sport. What's unique about growing up playing ball in the parks of New York vs. LA vs. Chicago? How does it form a player's game? How can XvsX help keep players in the game who might otherwise fall through the cracks? In that way, his newest venture is an extension of the mental health and community work Metta has engaged in over his career, and after. What helped him speak out so openly about mental health at a time when the stigma, particularly for athletes and men more generally, was still very intense? How does it feel now to see players so much more comfortable talking about mental health? It's just past the 10 year anniversary of his legendary post-Game 7 press conference, after the Lakers beat the Celtics. We cue it up, and watch it with him. Some of his commentary was surprising (including a desire to be traded early in his first Lakers season that was, at least to us, news). And the stories he told after about the night that followed? Fun, to say the least. In between, Metta reveals where he'd like to coach, and why that school may not want to hire him, and a lot more. So much fun, with a fantastic human being.

The Late Night Happy Hour welcomes Nekias Duncan (BasketballNews.com, The Dunker Spot podcast) to the show, and he's bringing all kinds of insight. We start with the Lakers. They've lost two straight - not a big deal - but every team has weaknesses, however relative. Has Nekias seen anything in these games that worry him? (Spoiler... no, not really.) In fact, he wonders if the Lakers haven't been playing with measured effort, meaning they have a lot of upside left to explore. We dive into Dennis Schroder and Montrezl Harrell. What do they need from each guy? Does it really matter if Harrell can't be a force in the playoffs? Meanwhile, the Clippers are winning games and shooting the lights out behind Kawhi Leonard and Paul George. Is it sustainable? Have they solved their point guard problem? What about Lou Williams, who has not performed well this season. Could he be a candidate for trading later in the season? From there, we look at Anthony Davis, and whether fatigue from a short offseason might be impacting him more than expected, and use that as a jumping off point to explore Nekias' great feature story on the growth of Miami's Bam Adebayo. Is AD a good template for Bam, in terms of potential growth and upside, working with a varied (though admittedly different) skill set? How realistic is it that Adebayo becomes a top 10 player in the league? Could he go higher? Joel Embiid appears to have made a leap this year. Does that make Philly a legit contender in the Eastern Conference? Is anyone in the West going to challenge the LA teams, when push comes to shove. Great info, great insight from one of the best young basketball writers out there.…

The Late Night Happy Hour welcomes Andy Liu and Sam Esfandiari of the Light Years podcast to the show. Is Steve Kerr's ego holding this year's Warriors back? Certainly these guys are unimpressed with the work he's done to this point of the season. But how good are they supposed to be, anyway? What would they give up in a potential trade for Washington's Bradley Beal? The answer depends a lot on a) how good you think Beal actually is, and b) how much shelf life Steph Curry and Draymond Green still have, and that's before you get to Klay Thompson's health. One big obstacle? The Lakers and LeBron James, who seems wholly uninterested in any type of decline. That makes big decisions for teams like the Warriors a lot more complex. You can get real good, but still not get over the hill James currently occupies. So alternatively, how good might James Wiseman become? What about that pick they have from Minnesota? Do they have the player development chops in house to make sure these young players pan out? Is there any chance they'd let Curry go in free agency after next season, and go full rebuild? If any of these problems sound familiar to Lakers fans, it's because it seems like everything the Warriors have experienced over the last few seasons mirrors some aspect of where the Lakers have been. Excellent for a stretch, then awful (though for far less time in GSW than in LA) and then in a weird spot where there are significant questions about the future. No wonder the fan bases often seem to sound alike. From there, we talk GameStop, Hilaria Baldwin and Jimmy G's 49ers. It was a VERY packed show, and tons of fun.…

On the Late Night Happy Hour, Andy and Brian welcome "You're The Worst" creator Stephen Falk and star Chris Geere to talk about TV, pushing boundaries with comedy, Hollywood in (and after) the COVID era, and YTW's cast reuniting for a Zoom script read to benefit Feeding America. We open talking about the benefit, and how excited the cast is to get back together. (And we'd encourage everyone to buy tickets! https://www.eventbrite.com/e/sunday-funday-a-youre-the-worst-reunion-tickets-135245712567 The five seasons of "You're the Worst" on FX were among the best in TV comedy we've seen in a very, very long time. So what made it that way? We talked about it with Falk and Geere. Talent obviously matters, and the cast had plenty of it, but they also mention some incredible chemistry and personalities that blended well - and quickly - off camera. It was helpful given the horrible things characters often did to each other on-screen. What are the challenges in pushing barriers in comedy? In creating characters that are watchable and funny, even when they're pretty awful humans? Is it easier to make a show for networks or cable? How might these characters have behaved during the pandemic. Would they be mask wearers? Virus deniers? What will happen to TV and production when the pandemic ends? How might content change? Will people's appetite for dark or cynical material go down in the wake of 2020? Finally, what would they want people to take away from the series?…
