Lauren Weedman (Abbott Elementary, Hacks, Looking) is here for a deep meditation on dating in LA, working with celebrities, and Season 3 Ep 13 of Sex and the City, “Escape From New York.” And as we mounted the bull at Saddle Ranch together, I couldn't help but wonder: Did Garth the dildo model ever publish his poetry?

We're taking Romantic Comedy month to the streets of San Francisco by way of HBO, for “Looking: the Movie”! Not the series but a series epilogue, conclusion and continuation of the quaint and chaotic lives of Patrick, Dom, Augustin, Richie and of course, Lauren Weedman's Best Supporting Doris! We're all ears for Russell Tovey's Kevin and swoon for a pre-White Lotus Murray Bartlett, but consider the show stolen by Justice of the Peace Tyne Daly! A “The Kids Are Alright” reference sends us into an awards rabbit hole, we see ourselves in more than a few of these characters' questionable choices, and ultimately we yearn for a “Looking: the Sequel.” Join us for The Best Supporting Aftershow, the complete season 1 recap of "SMASH" and early access to main episodes on Patreon: www.patreon.com/bsapod Email: thebsapod@gmail.com Instagram: @bsapod Colin Drucker - Instagram: @colindrucker_ Nick Kochanov - Instagram: @nickkochanov Website: nkvoiceover.com

It's San Francisco, how hard can it be to meet cool people? Well, if the only people you run into is the cast of the HBO series and movie, Looking, you might have some work to do! This week we tackle the controversial and short-lived HBO series and subsequent moviefilm, Looking, created by writer-director Andrew Haigh. The series followed a group of gay men in San Francisco and their travails in life and love- Patrick (Jonathan Groff), our anxious protagonist with deeeeeeeep mommy issues; Augustin (Frankie J. Alvarez), the tortured "artist" looking for meaning in his work and finding drugs along the way; and Dom (Murray Bartlett), a peri peri chicken lover having a mid-life crisis. Over the course of the series, which only ran for 18 episodes from 2014-2015, we follow this crew and a great cast of supporting actors, including but not limited to Lauren Weedman, Scott Bakula, and sexpot Raul Castillo, as they look for meaning in their lives, with plenty of cringe, Grindr dates, and drunken dancing along the way. The series unfortunately had a short run, but was brought back for one final installment in 2016 with Looking: The Movie. Join Jake and Kevin this week as we talk about the highs of lows of the series and how successful the movie holds up as a final episode. Why did they not cast any gay or queer Asian characters in a show set in San Francisco? Why are the three protagonists so insufferable in the first season? Did Richie and Patrick really get back together in the movie? This and more on this week's episode! PLUS: We dive back to our regularly-scheduled mini-series programming this week! The Criterion Channel (who does not yet sponsor this podcast but we're open to the idea) has a fantastic selection of queer filmmaking, bolstered recently by a collection of queer short films. For the next few episodes, we'll be watching some of these shorts, beginning with the film The Red Tree, directed by Paul Rowley in 2018. This pseudo-documentary short follows a fictional gay man who travels back to the island where Mussolini interred hundreds of gay man in his rise to power in the 1930s.

You Might Know Her From Dolemite Is My Name, High Fidelity, The United States vs. Billie Holiday, Only Murders in the Building, The Last O.G., the original Broadway production of Ghost: The Musical, and her new movie The Lost City. Da'Vine gave us all the goods on being swept away to the Dominican Republic for The Lost City, filming a big splashy romantic comedy action film with Sandy Bullock and Channing Tatum while being casita neighbors with Brad Pitt. We got the scoop on her extraordinary West End and then Broadway debut for Ghost, the generosity of Eddie Murphy, the depth of Tracy Morgan, what could have been the second season of High Fidelity, and why she's not interested in movie musicals but will play Pearl Bailey. Da'Vine is going to be a huge star so get into her now so you can say, “I told you so” to all your friends.

It's June 18, 1998 and famed psychiatrist Dr. Lauren Weedman (not a psychiatrist) returns to the show promoting a new book, and she'll attempt to settle a few bets between Machine Bolt and Él Farto about whether or not the behavior in their friendship is appropriate. Crazy Sign Guy has a real gem, and the guys get sideswiped by a bunch of 4th graders. Plus your calls, and the news! Gooood mental health! Alternative Rock Radio! They're doing their best.

We love her, you'll love her! This week we're back with actor, writer, and artist Lauren Weedman. You Might Know Her From Looking, Hung, The Daily Show, Date Night, Hacks, Arrested Development, Euphoria, and her many solo shows. We talked to Lauren about the process as she approaches every solo show and how she manages her personal relationships when they find themselves in her work. We also talked about trusting herself on the set of Looking and putting a pow on that series with the film, the anxiety of joining a machine like The Daily Show, and the true joys of her guest roles on Euphoria (as Jules therapist) and Hacks (as the mayor of Las Vegas). This one had us belly laughing while we were really digging into some real shit.  Follow us on social media @damianbellino || @rodemanne  Discussed this week:  Go watch Yellowjackets Producers body shamed Lynskey and offered her a trainer.

The date is 2/12/98, the RockMobile is nearly dead, but the Raddest Morning Team in the Southland is keeping spirits high…on life! Are you choosing pain? Special guest Dr. Lauren Weedman (who for legal reasons we have to stress is not licensed as a doctor) is in the studio to promote her self-help book... but who knows which direction the self-help advice will flow? Please note: the Taco Bowl competition is canceled, but we got the permit so we're going to the park anyway. No regrets!

Not only is the hit HBO show "Hacks" a perfect vehicle for Jean Smart's indomitable talents alongside breakout co-star Hannah Einbinder, but the cast is packed with a charming, surprising and nuanced ensemble of supporting players, including Emmy nominees Carl Clemons-Hopkins and Jane Adams, plus Poppy Liu, Meg Stalter, Lauren Weedman, Caitlin Olsen and one very charming cocktail waitress. We're counting down our Top 5 BSA's this week, including a few very honorable mentions and one very perfect monkey.

"Special" is, well, a special show--a surprisingly honest and nuanced story about disability, sex, dating, and most importantly, the relationship between a gay man and his mother. While Ryan O'Connell is the mastermind of the show, Jessica Hecht's brilliant performance as his mother Karen is at the heart of it. This week we dive into the fourth episode of the second season to discuss one of our favorite topics, navigating grief, plus our own feelings as 30-something creatives who don't have Netflix shows, some love for Lauren Weedman both as Tanya and as Doris in "Looking," and a call for more single take shots of women looking at themselves in a mirror on the day of a funeral, preferably while eating candy or doing their makeup.

Looking back at all the people who were part of Almost Live!, it's notable that there are literally none of them that moved onto completely different careers after the show wrapped years ago. None of the cast members went into the clergy - or became an actuary, astronaut, statistician, pipe-fitter, cartographer, or tried their hand at dentistry. Yes, Joe Guppy DID become a psychotherapist for a while, but he also simultaneously taught comedy. The two DO go hand-in-hand after all. But most everyone moved from the show to somewhat related fields: Some on to TV work, writing projects, standup comedy, public speaking, and theater. But one former cast member has pretty much done - and continues to do - ALL of that. And she was already under sail before she ever arrived at Almost Live! Lauren Weedman has a performing career longer that KING KONG's arms. Both of them. She's acted in countless movies and TV shows, from Arrested Development, to Will and Grace, from Two Broke Girls, to Masters of Sex. She played major roles in the HBO series Hung and Looking. But as you'll discover in this episode, her very first TV experience was on Almost Live! Lauren Weedman official sites LaurenWeedman.com Lauren Weedman | IMDb Lauren Weedman | Twitter Lauren Weedman | Instagram After the show ended, she later became a correspondent on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. She's done a ton of theater, including no less than 11 solo plays she wrote herself. She's also the host of the Moth Storytelling Slam in Santa Monica. She's a noted painter of original art. As for acting, she's performed on stage everywhere in the country. She's also the author of two books, and you can see her more recently in HBO's series Euphoria. Without question one of the most accomplished talents that ever strolled into the studios of Almost Live! Actress, comedian, theater performer, artist, author, playwright, AND the single mom of Leo. They live together in L.A. - at nearby Santa Monica.

For the final episode of Season 7, Russell & Robert meet Lauren Weedman, best known for her standout role as Doris on HBO's television series Looking (alongside Russell!). As well as being a leading actress and comedian (not comedienne - as we discuss!!!!!!), one of her longterm passions is painting and making art. On her instagram @ThisOneIsTitled, started during lockdown, Weedman revealed 'The Quarantine Series' of unique figurative paintings, which she sells from $200 via Instagram and have become incredibly popular with collectors all over the world! As a self taught artist, including series where she makes one new work a day, we consider her link to Outsider and Outlier artworks but also explore her wide ranging artistic influences including Laura Owens, Tim Burton, David Lynch but primarily Edvard Munch and Van Gogh, whose authentic and emotional-charged works became even more important during her time spent living in Amsterdam. We also discover her love of London's very own National Portrait Gallery, in particular an installation she saw there of William Blake's death mask! Plus we introduce Lauren to the work of Grayson Perry and his recent 'Art Club' TV series which focused on ideas of creativity and the processes behind making art.Check out Lauren's paintings at her official website: www.LaurenWeedmanStudio.com which includes very cool videos of her discussing individual artworks!Follow Lauren's two Instagram accounts: @Lauren_Weedman and her art page @ThisOneIsTitled. You can watch Lauren & Russell in HBO's 'Looking' on Netflix, Amazon Prime or all good streaming services.Thanks for listening to Season 7! We will return on 4th December 2020 with a brand new Season 8, so fear not, we have another art-thrill-ride lined up for you!!!For images of all artworks discussed in this episode visit @TalkArt.

In our last episode with actor Lauren Weedman, she wanted to know why there are so many Thai restaurants in Seattle. And we left her (and you) hanging! But now we have answers. In this bonus episode, Rachel explores why there are so many Thai restaurants in the United States with Mark Padoongpatt, author of 'Flavors of Empire: Food and The Making of Thai America' and assistant professor of Asian American studies at University of Nevada Las Vegas.

Lauren Weedman wants to love food again. The comedic actor, a former The Daily Show Correspondent and current The Moth host, with roles on Curb Your Enthusiasm and HBO's Looking, has a complicated relationship with food. She wants to make eating a more soulful experience, starting with her last meal; a food she never lets herself enjoy. And yes, we used phrases like "complicated relationship with food" and "soulful experience," but rest assured: Lauren is one of the funniest guests to grace Your Last Meal; chortles ahead. Lauren's love of pad Thai takes us to Little Uncle, one of Seattle's best Thai restaurants. Chef/owners Poncharee Kounpungchart and Wiley Frank painstakingly squeeze tamarind pods to make the sauce for their pad Thai and they tell Rachel why they refuse to put chicken in the dish, no matter how nice a customer asks.  Lauren Weedman was raised by a ballerina who was always watching her weight, so Rachel interviewed Kari Brunson, a former professional ballet dancer who retired from dance to explore her love of cooking. Today Kari co-owns Seattle's Juicebox Cafe and one of Rachel's favorite ice cream shops, Frankie & Jo's. Follow Rachel Belle & Your Last Meal on Instagram!

2002 - From the Comedy News Headquarters on the Internet, it's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY, hosted by Vic Shuttee and Chandler Dean. Before getting to the annual Daily Awards, the correspondents need to face their performance reviews. From the old guard of Stephen Colbert, Mo Rocca and Steve Carell, to middle children Matt Walsh and Lauren Weedman, to the new hires of Rob Corddry, Ed Helms, Rachael Harris and more - we leave no player unexamined. Did Mary Birdsong get a raw shake? Why no send off for Nancy Walls? What's going on with Frank DeCaro!? Plus, a round-up on all the nonsense podcast inventions like the TDS interns, the NPCs and Cheecks Mulrooney, the podcasting time-traveling motor car! And not to be outdone, a full retrospective on the year from Jon's POV, through Death to Poochie and beyond! Part 3 of 4.

2002 - From the Comedy News Headquarters on the Internet, it's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY, hosted by Vic Shuttee and Chandler Dean. As 2002 wraps up, The Daily Show wrestles with its identity as wars overseas ramp up and the Midterms come in like an oh-so quiet beast. With new players like Rob Corddry and Ed Helms finding their grooves as correspondents, can others from the previous generations survive - where does the show make time for the likes of Lauren Weedman, Matt Walsh, and Nancy Walls? Plus, as the elections come to a close, the show does a fabulous week in Washington DC and revamps the entire TDS homebase while they're at it. The big question is: with Jon Stewart remaining as host for the foreseable future, has a new era dawned past Death to Poochie? Catch-up on the last 6 months of the political comedy series that redefined a genre, with this audiobook special deep-dive presentation hosted by Vic Shuttee and Chandler Dean. Part 2 of 4.

2002 - From the Comedy News Headquarters on the Internet, it's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY, hosted by Vic Shuttee and Chandler Dean. 2002 enters quietly, and eager for progress. Coming off the Patriots in Clown Suits zenith post 9/11, there are many more variables at play – what’s fair game to joke about? How comfortable is our rising star Steve Carell, and will Hollywood be calling his name sooner than we think. Are newer correspondents Matt Walsh and Lauren Weedman adapting to the show and making a significant impact? But no one can prepare for the biggest question: will Jon Stewart be snagged away by ABC? Questions asked and answer in this break down of the Jon Stewart’s four season on The Daily Show, from January to June. Plus, the Middle East and Catholic Priests, the debut of new powerhouses Rob Corddry and Ed Helms and a reckoning for the sexist media coverage (and a lamp shading of the show’s icky practice of limiting women in studio). Catch-up on the first 6 months of the political comedy series that redefined a genre, with this audiobook special deep-dive presentation hosted by Vic Shuttee and Chandler Dean. Part 1 of 4.

FEBRUARY 27, 2019 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY, hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! The is a yearning in the air, a lust for a new TDSW era, but perhaps not a step in the right direction. Steve Carell is all but dead as Ed Helms devours yet another staple with the introduction of Ed Nausium, and poor Lauren Weedman is so soon forgotten as her body double Rachael Harris assumes the chair alongside Ed for We Love Showbiz. But like Jon with Congressman Harold Ford, the have nothing to cling to but hope. So with zings at Fox’s Fair and Balances and a proposed Democratic rebrand… could this new set actually be perfect for slaying dragons?

FEBRUARY 12, 2019 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY, hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! What a surprise, as The Daily Show hits the road for a week in the nation’s capitol to exhalant in the perfunctory nature of Indecision 2002’s boring, boring Midterm Elections. We have a Schoolhouse Rock parody animation (with Colbert’s dulcet tones!), Ed Helms is haunted by the ghost of Steve Carell/Saddam Hussein and the first appearance by the future Veep Nom, John Edwards (and man do we sniff that throne). Not to mention Stephen Colbert’s Political Improv troupe, the debut of Lauren Weedman impersonator Rachael Harris, and an AMAZING SUPER SECRET CAMEO BY A FUTURE TRUMP LUMINARY, KELLYANNE CONWAY.

FEBRUARY 1, 2019 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY, hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! In a week full of Iraq propaganda with guests Peter Jennings and Oliver North, the stuff that works is the SILLY – Rob Corddry stumping for SCOTUS, Stephen Colbert breaking down the science world’s funniest joke and We Love Showbiz kills former correspondent superstar, Lauren Weedman. The Daily Show Weekly is produced by Vic Shuttee, with album artwork designed by Felipe Flores Comics! #WeededOut

JANUARY 16, 2019 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY, hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! Jon steps up his attacks on Team Bush as a War with Iraq seems more inevitable, and his perceptiveness even scares him. Plus, the return of Lauren Weedman and Stacey Grenrock-Woods – and a new TDSW intern!

NOVEMBER 20, 2018 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY, hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! Jon lets a vampire into his house and is UNPREPARED as Conservative Supervillain Ann Coulter slithers by to hock her product. But besides a goofy fun Colbert segment about sharks and a WTF Masterclass with a Hillbilly Ed Helms – there is NOT much to say in the deep summer days of 2002: and without Corddry and Lauren Weedman popping up, there’s not a TON to recommend either. However, hope is around the bend! The Daily Show Weekly is produced by Vic Shuttee, with album artwork designed by Felipe Flores Comics! #BoredToSubmission

OCTOBER 5, 2018 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY, hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! As Steve Carell returns to the studio, there’s a lot of correspondents fighting for screen time. First, Lauren Weedman stakes her claim to Steve’s A Trend Indeed, then Corddry returns for an outstanding leotard centric Spider-Man piece, resulting in his own death and even our intern is done away with as we welcome Poodly Vagan to the team. But if Steve is simply here to talk about Vanilla Coke – how can this not be the beginning of a Total Failure Bistro?

APRIL 24, 2018 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY, hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! Slowly but surely, the faces of the Daily Show are changing as we welcome Lauren Weedman to the team, and establish newbie Matt Walsh as the new Vance DeGeneres, even bumping Mo Rocca for Dollars and Cents to make him feel at home. Elsewhere, Steve Carell continues to dominate the screen with commentary in studio. Daily Show Weekly is produced by Vic Shuttee, with album artwork designed by Felipe Flores Comics! #MattyWeed

Lauren Weedman joins Lynette and Stefanie in-studio for today's episode. Stefanie opens the show talking Lauren's previous work with her on the Nicklodeon show Parental Discretion. Then, Lauren begins to talk about some interesting stories from her book, one of which includes an affair her ex-husband had with the 18 year old baby sitter. This leads to another story in her book in which Lauren partook in her first (and only) threesome while in Amsterdam. After that, Stefanie shares a story of getting a date with a good looking guy from TV, only to find out he didn't quite look the same in real life. Before they wrap, Lynette and Stef talk to Lauren about her current relationship status as a single mother.

There is something very raw, campy and sexy about the women in prison genre. Those who are fans of classics like Caged and the not-so-subtly titled Girls in Prison you know what I'm talking about. (Nikki, I'm looking at you!)  It was the style of these locked up ladies that inspired actress Jillian Armenante (Fresh Off The Boat, Judging Amy, Girl, Interrupted) when she was creating her new show, Kittens in a Cage.  As she explains in this episode, Kittens was based on a play written by Kelleen Conway Blanchard after reading it on a trip to Seattle. Rebecca Mozo (Junie) with Erin Anderson (Vickie) There is something very raw, campy and sexy about the women in prison genre.

Actress Jillian Armenante In fact, Seattle played the backdrop for a lot of the history between Jillian and her craft. Hearing her tell stories about her theater foundation and how it led to her life in LA makes me feel a little out of my depth. I never fully pursued theater as a career because I was scared to death of failure. And, yet...here I am in Hollywood. I'm a star! Rather, I'm a co-star!! I made it? Any who, I love hearing stories from other actors on why they perform and what keeps them going in the face of a career with constant rejection. It can truly wear on your soul after a while. The best part of all of this is that Jillian and her wife Alice Dodd are moms to two beautiful little girls. I couldn't wait to ask her how she found time to produce a TV show, star in a billion other TV show and films, and still take care of her kids. How did she do it?  After our chat I'm guessing lots of booze... Noted, Jillian. Noted. Plus when I found out she pulled it all together with a Kickstarter campaign, lots of favors from friends, and enough moxie to fill a...moxie holder... I was super inspired! I wanted to know more and find a way to tell my friends to watch. We should all watch and support other actors who get out of their "cage" and try new things. (see what I did there?) Lauren Weedman, Joel McHale and Jillian Armenante Kittens stars Rebecca Mozo, Erin Anderson, Rebecca Field and of course Jillian who also directs and executive produces. The guest star list is ridiculous...Joel McHale, Amy Brenneman, Tyne Daly, Felicia Day and Constantine Maroulis to name a few.  You can find more info on the Kittens website, and watch it on Hulu, Vimeo and Amazon. Felicia Day Keep up with Kittens and Jillian on Twitter and Facebook.  Then come back here and let me know what you thought of the show! I think it's sexy, sassy and swell. Just like  Motherhood in Hollywood.

We Dropped A Bomb On You: A City and Its Stories: Los Angeles: The Best of Slake I-IV (Rare Bird Books) Cofounded by former LA Weekly editor Joe Donnelly and current Los Angeles Times Arts and Entertainment editorLaurie Ochoa, Slake is a literary journal that sets a new template for the next generation of print publications -- collectible, not disposable; destined for the bedside table instead of the recycling bin. It's a whole new way of looking at Los Angeles and the world. We Dropped a Bomb on You is a devastating compendium of essays, fiction, and photo essays from the first four issues of Slake. Featuring previously unpublished work by Aimee Bender, Mark Z. Danielewski, Dana Goodyear, Jerry Stahl, John Albert, Jonathan Gold, Lauren Weedman and many many more, this collection marks a return to storytelling with polished essay, memoir, fiction, poetry, and profile writing that is disappearing in a world of instant takes and unfiltered opinion. John Albert cofounded the semilegendary cross-dressing band Christian Death and also enjoyed a stint as the drummer in Bad Religion. He lives in Los Angeles and has contributed to LA Weekly, Hustler, and BlackBook, among others. He won the Best of the West Journalism Best Sports Writing Award in 2000, for the LA Weekly article from which Wrecking Crew derived.  Jonathan Gold is a food critic who currently writes for the Los Angeles Times and has previously written for LA Weekly and Gourmet. In 2007 he became the first food critic to win the Pulitzer Prize. He is also a regular on KCRW's Good Food radio program.

The New York Times said of Lauren and HOMECOMING, “Like Bob Newhart in his early stand-up routines, she's particularly good at making her points – and making us feel clever.  Most important, she's just plain funny, physically and verbally.” Lauren has contributed short stories to Slake magazine, Swivel and her short story “Diary of a Journal reader” was included in Dave Eggars “Best of Non Required Reading 2007”.  Sasquatch Books released her first book, a collection of comedic essays, A WOMAN TRAPPED IN A WOMAN'S BODY (TALES FROM A LIFE OF CRINGE) which the Kirkus Review identified as one of the Top Ten Indy Books of 2007. Lauren currently lives and performs in Los Angeles.
