Comedy Showrunners Roundtable: Bill Hader, Jerrod Carmichael, Ali Rushfield & More | Close Up 

IKR?! She is bloody wonderful! Much better than all of the other moderators, especially the Steven guy who talks over everyone.

@@SidPhoenix2211 Right. I'll take her uh-huhs over someone cutting off a good point being made or not allowing them to ask oen another questions.

Complete agree. She just let's the guests talk amongst themselves and doesn't try to be forceful in asking questions. Great interviewer

She is very good at engaging and fostering good conversations

I also love how they acknowledge that at the end too, so nice of them.

Yeah me too

same

Literally the only reason why I'm here

Absolutely!

right i’d take his laptop

Jess I see what you did there

In a heartbeat I SWEAR!!!

😂

it's really relatable cause as a person with anxiety, i see some of my nervous mannerisms in him lol. i know i'd feel just like that sitting at the table with people i don't know.

We have a community?! So why haven't you bunch of dickholes ever sent me an e-vite?!

She always does the Emmy's/TV roundtables. Galloway does the Oscars.

DUBMO heavy agree

I feel bad for the other guy but I totally agree, her table sessions seem much more relaxed.

@@benkylo8015 ah, i never noticed that pattern. i dislike galloway so much, i can't believe he gets that assignment.

Mmhmm! Uh-huh!

That comics bond.

Rex J. For sure. Have you seen the actors on actors interviews?

Axel Arzola Yeah. I’ve kinda been binging them.

Thank u for doing the lords work loool

Lords work now I’m off to see if someone did jerrods parts

You didn’t have to do this for us. How can we ever thank you?

thanks

ily :)

Is it though? You don't know the context. Maybe she was living in constant pain and decided she was going out on her own terms.

@@michaelfrey3619 watching someone die isn't horrible or sad? like besides the context, just watching someone do that to themselves would probably change you, too

@@nefbrite6866 I've watched someone split their head open on a street pole in a motorcycle accident, that is sad. That was someone's life who was cut short without his consent. But let's be real context is everything. Watching someone be at peace with the way they are going out or taking back control over a disease that ruined their body and rendered them in constant agony. Isn't that cathartic? I don't know the scenario you are right. But I can pose an observation, she was surrounded by loved ones, she took a bunch of pills so she probably was in less pain than she had been, and she was becoming a part of her grand son's dream. I think we can all objectively say that's probably the happiest, best way you could go out. But you're right I don't know, I'm simply giving my perspective.

I cant believe I lost my place in the comments to go see that! Lol

i'm HOWLING that's so fucking funny ahahhadhkjwejgv

just noticed it bc of your comment and now I am deceased

Omfg I made the ugliest snorting laugh lol. Thanks for pointing this out.

That's hilarious xDDD omg

same

Dude is real af.

Same 😂

Watch hid HBO special, 8.

Me Xavier that was genius I swear 😂😂😂

@@tionak right? I was dying. And if you looked at at.thwor facing Bill Harder was the only one laughing. The rest just seemed concerned. And that made it funnier. 😁

Me Xavier EXACTLY. You could tell they had no clue where he was going with the joke so they all looked nervous but Bill was all in. You can tell he loves dark comedy. I’d love to see them work together.

When I saw Jerrod’s name I was like, “They don’t know what they’re in for”🤣🤣

@@tionak hahahahaha. Exactly. Their shock just made it funnier to me. 😁🤣

His prior show with NBC (The Carmichael Show) is on Hulu, and he has multiple stand up specials on HBO Go, as well as some mini documentaries (Home Movies and Semron on the Mount) too that examine the men and women in his family.

Jerrod is a young man very much worth paying attention to. Hes a great writer, actor and is a hilarious dude to boot. His world view is entertaining and exploratory, always taking the viewer on a thought provoking journey while making sure you laugh to balance out the sometimes heavy subject matter. Im a big fan of him & his work and will recommend people from all walks of life to check out what hes doin.

bernard wallace I think u like him so much cuz u wanna be like him, well you’d hope, but ur prolly socially awkward and have a hard time explaining yourself

@@barmeloxanthony724 Whoa. That's a really random, extremely insulting comment.

Same!

Fair but that reporter did, and said it.

it's his vulnerability and capability at his job that i find attractive tbh

I love how Bill Hader mentioned the weird attraction reporter stuff and then also a person giving him bad critic for a character and you kind of see how Ali Rushfield jumps into immediate Bill-Hader-protection-mode. It's sweet to see the concerened look on her face while she is listening to him.

I used to eat alot of street food, and there is something mesmerizing about seeing someone who has been doing it for years prepare your food. The skill, the competency, quickness just makes you want to keep watching them. It's the same reason why I get distracted when I am scrolling down on youtube on phone and see the thumbnail play the video of a person decorating a cake or a person turning a simple word into a drawing of a superhero or a dude making a swimming pool out of nothing or a someone making a goldchain from scratch. I haven't even clicked the video, but I am watching this thumbnail for 15 minutes without sound. The way Barry shoots those chechens in the first episodes just oozes competence. He is not trying to show off like an action hero either. It's understated. I am a guy, so I don't want to bang him over that, but it helped me separate Bill Hader, the SNL guy from Barry, a skilled assassin. It made me take Barry seriously.

djksquallzz for sure. Some of my favorite channels on RU-vid.

There's an a24 podcast with a jerrod episode!

+

I agree

The transaction thing mentioned by Tanya was on the money, it's fucking creepy and I say that as a male. I completely agree, that limited perspective was awkward, glad to see most of the group agreed

In the context of the show, though, it comes from the character's hilariously naive romantic wedding/romance fantasy where "...and that was the moment I knew he was the one".

Wholly creepy but a lot of people do see relationships very transactionally to a much lesser level of financial spending. Any transaction is creepy to me.

@@adamdrakestudio I came in hot like landing a fighter jet on an aircraft carrier but I stayed on target and didn't insult anyone I think. It's just genuinely confusing to me why that specifically is the reason women should have a place in the writers room.

@@ianschmitt4991 because if you cant undestand what a real woman would react to and you need one to explain it to you, at least they should be paid to do so.

At least he's CONVINCED that he is. Still not funny, though. Go figure...

MiSTaH bOmBAsTiK real shit, dude is a cornball

Barmelo Xanthony It’s proven Jerrod is Genius

dude seems a little Sus to me

Joshua Davis agreed

David Mckesey even if he was what your eluding to I don’t understand why that matters since when does somebody’s sexual preference stop them from being a legend? Because through out history in any field of entertainment there’s always someone who has something to say about who people sleep with yet they still prevail do your research because I’ll be here all day naming names of legendary people who are “sus” you probably look up to

@@davidmckesey7119 go watch his interview with charlamagne

Joshua Davis who said anything about sexuality u buffoon, Jerrod weird af to me and he makes no sense when he opens his trap, their for he is suspect

He's so great. Watch his Breakfast Club interviews

@@lucasmceuen5287 and the HBO special, 8

I love the way he just says what everyone else dances around.

He's also really, really funny in his standup.

Everyone always says this, but he does the movie ones, never television.

Ainsley Harriott haha. For real. I stopped watching some of this because it felt like they were always fishing for gossip.

I completely agree, I just found this collection of videos and devoured a dozen of them. I friggin hate the way Golloway moderates. He clearly has an agenda, be it political or otherwise, which is fine. However, he should never allow his (or THRs) agenda get in the way and detract from the conversation.

And writers too

Can you see your own reply? I see a preview but when i click it then it disappears.

Agreed. There is this weird assumption that every ethnic person wants a diverse cast just for the sake of it, but that's not true. Those are Hollywood actors complaining about that, the average ethnic person mostly wants to see a good, well told story on screen without forcing this diversity agenda down their throats. Also, it's all about people being a prisoner of their own perspectives, which everybody is to a degree. For example, you cannot expect, say, Bo Burnham, a white, upper middle class guy who makes films about personal experience, to include black and brown people just to be'diverse' because his upbringings simply did not involve interactions with those types of people. What IS needed is more people of colour giving opportunities to write and direct material - that's true diversity, not having token character this and token character that.

And he had a perfect example of that kind of mentality sitting right next to him.

@@carmichaelk.5214 Except she is the characters you're calling a token and she knows people like the people she is writing. That is not tokenism. That is creating a story around people that she and others would love to see represented.

I agree with him about the forced diversity leanings, but disagree with his school thing to a degree. Sure, on the macro level you will see races dividing off, no different than what America looks like generally from neighborhood to neighborhood. But if you look closer you will see breaks in those groups featuring other races which also represents many neighborhoods. On the micro level shared interest come into play regardless of background which is where natural diversity lies. Tokenism is a slippery slope for me and I'm not quick to label something as such unless it actually feels out of place or is actually in your face about what their trait is, whether it's race/gender/sexual orientation. A character may be the token character or it may be someone who just happened to be there and is not integral to the story and could have been anyone, but folks will say it's token anyway.

debatable. The Good Place didn't fair well neither the Supermarket show either. but i hear ya.

I mean like all comedies of his in streaming era, good place doesnt have blockbuster ratings but appeals to a lot of young people and foes well in Netflix and rewatched just like parks and rec and the office back in the day. I think between good place, parks and rec and Brooklyn 99 he has a good stable of shows under his name. I don’t think superstore was his but I’m not sure.

Alan Yang is a producer on The Good Place and Parks & Rec. But yeah i totally agree, Mike Schur should've been in this roundtable.

Interesting that there are no network show show runners.

I believe he did the Comedy Showrunner roundtable during GG season last year edit: it was the Emmy showrunner RT in July of last year

OfficialCswift I saw it too and laughed figured no one else would’ve paid attention haha

There's no way they set that angle up on accident 😂. Hilarious

My feelings exactly.

PDXenvy me too. I have a whole watch list to catch up on.

She barely speaks. And that's a good thing, she let's the natural flow of the conversation carry on.

Catherine Daniels pretty good idea.

@@AxelAxe Thank you! Experienced actors can relate to the younger ones; Stars who've recently detached themselves from the title 'child star' express how they navigate their career today now that they're independent.

every time she said latinx i cringed a little. that word sounds so dumb. she was so annoyingly preachy.

@@vanessa0111 she annoys the sh-t out of me. latino is already a gender-neutral term, but of course she has to use ~inclusive~ liberal jargon for everything. when she said "brown queers" i swear to god bill looked like he was going to laugh.

diane cry-anne nguyen yeah I know that’s what’s so stupid about using that word it’s totally unnecessary! Im starting to see it more often and it just bugs the shit out of me haha. And yeah I wouldn’t be able to not laugh if I heard someone say “brown queers” in front of my face 😂

They were both on SNL.
