We’re celebrating the season two green light with martinis and a fancy caviar toast they have. And, also, so we can get started with the party and wrap it up in time for a respectable bedtime. “We were all so excited.”ĥ p.m.: HAPPY HOUR! I meet my friend Zach at Nougatine at 4:45 p.m., so we can get corner bar seats right as doors open. “A very, like, Rudy moment, carrying us off the field,” she says. Like, I don't know, ‘Make me another drink, bitch,’ and you have to make that into a song.” It sounds like fodder for a future scene in Somebody Somewhere-the green light for season two having arrived at an auspicious time, as Everett details below.
“If it were up to me, I would just lay on the couch and stare at the wall all day, so I need to have deadlines and goals.” The group also has a hook challenge-“which is some funny shit that somebody said at the previous songwriter’s. “I have my songwriter group on Tuesday, and I do not have a song,” she says of her monthly meetup with a handful of friends, designed to light a creative fire under everyone’s ass. The same is true for Everett in this three-day wellness diary, where ’70s soul warms up a frigid walk. And all of us-in the audience, on the couch-get to bask in the raucous glory. (In addition to her 2015 Comedy Central special, Gynecological Wonder, she has toured with Amy Schumer, turned up in the original Sex and the City movie, and played a karaoke-slaying mother in 2017’s Patti Cake$.) The aforementioned bosom aside, there’s another elemental through line: “For Sam and for Bridget, there is a connection to the world through the world of music,” Everett says. She is calling from home on the Upper West Side, not far from the restaurant jobs she juggled for years while building momentum onstage. “Big tits with a tender underbelly? I think that's what they have in common,” Everett says, laughing. There is Bridget the downtown cabaret legend-spangled, sweaty, outrageously mesmerizing-who channels the collective id with lyrics like “What I gotta do to get that dick in my mouth?” Meanwhile, on Somebody Somewhere, her semi-autobiographical show now quietly winning hearts on HBO, she plays Sam, a forty-something woman adrift in her Kansas hometown, who comes alive at an after-hours variety show, belting out power ballads from her high school songbooks. The series is written by Hannah Bos, Paul Thureen and Patricia Breen, and directed by Jay Duplass and Robert Cohen.What makes a feel-good show? Bridget Everett has figured it out, via two tonally distinct personas. Somebody Somewhere is co-created & executive produced by Hannah Bos & Paul Thureen starring and executive produced by Bridget Everett executive produced by Carolyn Strauss for Mighty Mint, Jay Duplass, Mark Duplass and Mel Eslyn for Duplass Brothers Productions, Patricia Breen, and Tyler Romary produced by Shuli Harel. Among Sam’s newfound community are Fred Rococo, a university soil scientist/master of ceremonies, played by Murray Hill, and Joel’s boyfriend Michael, played by Jon Hudson Odom. Mike Hagerty plays Sam’s father and stoic Kansas farmer Ed, who learns that burying his family’s problems only makes them grow, and Tricia’s husband Rick, played by Danny McCarthy, holds a secret that sends Sam’s imagination spinning. Mary Catherine Garrison plays Sam’s picture-perfect sister Tricia, but old resentments resurface as Tricia grows exhausted of living up to their hometown’s standards. Joining the cast are Jeff Hiller as Joel, who finds his vision-board dreams of faith, family, and high-end kitchen appliances dashed in a spiral of joy, shame, music, and stress rashes after befriending his high school idol, Sam. A new comedy series starring and executive produced by comedian and singer Bridget Everett (HBO’s Camping), Somebody Somewhere follows Sam, a true Kansan on the surface who, beneath it all, struggles to fit the hometown mold.Īs Sam grapples with loss and acceptance, singing is her saving grace and leads her on a journey to discover herself and a community of outsiders who don't fit in but don't give up, showing that finding your people, and finding your voice, is possible.
