At some point during the filming of Bulldozer, law enforcement got word that the half-hour comedy pilot was filming without proper permits.

“They started trying to bust down the door,” recalls director Andrew Leeds of officers showing up to their shoot in the Valley, demanding the production clear out.

It was a potentially disastrous moment, given that Bulldozer was self-financed (no studio lawyers to intervene), and was largely made by calling in favors to people like Mary Steenburgen, who plays the mother to creator/star Joanna Leeds’ character. Producers held the door shut so they could finish filming, and tried to shield Steenburgen from the chaos, not wanting the show’s biggest name to feel she was on a production that didn’t have its shit together.

“I am literally chatting Mary up, looking over my shoulder at these cops going, ‘Oh my God, please don’t turn around,’” says executive producer Rhett Reese,...

Mr. Monk's Last Case: A Monk Movie has an important reason for being darker than the original television series. In addition to being a procedural television show, Monk was both a comedy and a drama. The premise of a man with debilitating phobias who could never solve his wife's murder is inherently tragic. At the same time, these phobias lead to many comedic scenarios and interactions throughout Monk's best episodes, including the germaphobia and fear of flying that Adrian Monk (Tony Shalhoub) has.

There is a deeply emotional undercurrent to Monk's story, especially when the mystery of what happened to Monk's wife, Trudy (Melora Hardin) comes to the forefront, but there is a lightness to the overall series as well. Even many of Monk's most heartbreaking episodes find ways to incorporate humor. Beyond Monk, other characters like Randy Disher (Jason Gray-Stanford) and Monk's rival,...

Monk, an early-2000s police procedural dramedy, brought viewers eight beloved seasons of mysteries, tears, laughs, and quirky antics. The show follows the life of former detective Adrian Monk (Tony Shalhoub), a brilliant San Francisco police consultant who lives with obsessive-compulsive disorder and is struggling to cope with his day-to-day life after his wife Trudy Monk is killed.

It is no surprise that the Monk series is pure comedic genius given the creator (Andy Breckman)’s years of experience as a Saturday Night Live sketch writer. Ted Levine, Jason Gray-Stanford, Bitty Schram, and Traylor Howard make up the supporting cast of this iconic comedy crime drama, and the show takes a beautifully compassionate approach to Adrian’s Ocd without sacrificing the ability to recognize Adrian's frequently humorous nature. Some of the best Monk episodes stem from Mr. Monk’s endearing mannerisms.

Space was held by Cynthia Erivo while accepting Out’s Out100 Icon Award on Wednesday night in Los Angeles. The “Wicked” star paid homage to her and Ariana Grande’s viral “holding space” interview with the magazine’s Tracy E. Gilchrist.

“According to queer media, I have been all over your social media,” Erivo said to the crowd, adding, “I don’t want you to grow too tired of me. There’s a [‘Wicked’] part two on the way, and we really need to hold space for that and feel the power in that.”

Before leaving the stage, as her “Defying Gravity” from the “Wicked” soundtrack boomed through the speakers, Erivo grabbed the mic and sang along for a snippet. You can watch that here.

Erivo then reunited with Gilchrist to watch drag queen Pattie Gonia’s lip sync performance of – what else? – “Defying Gravity.”

[This story contains major spoilers from the series finale of Somebody Somewhere.]

The final episode of Somebody Somewhere goes out on a literal high note. As the HBO comedy’s supporting cast (Jeff Hiller, Mary Catherine Garrison, Murray Hill, Tim Bagley) looks on, Bridget Everett’s Sam offers a toast and performs a stirring rendition of Miley Cyrus’ “The Climb.” It’s a fitting end for a series whose greatest strength was often its ability to be sentimental without being saccharine, and it’s easy to view the scene as a symbolic farewell for its stars. “We didn’t know that would be the series finale, but we really have been writing like any moment could be the last moment of the show,” says co-creator Hannah Bos. “We also shot that during our first week of production on this season due to cast availability, so we really were just like, ‘I hope this works.'”

“Somebody Somewhere” sang its final song, and Bridget Everett said the uplifting performance made for the HBO comedy’s perfect unplanned ending.

After three seasons of laughter, music and big emotional lows, the critically-acclaimed series from Hannah Bos and Paul Thureen ended its run with Everett’s Sam inviting her friends and loved ones to a celebration at her bar, where she sang a tearjerking rendition of “The Climb” by Miley Cyrus.

The song also served as the perfect bow to tie up a standout seven-episode season of “Somebody Somewhere,” which followed as Sam, a grief-stricken but lovable resident of Manhattan, Kansas, made huge strides to grow her confidence — and even found a romantic connection in her family farm’s tenant Iceland (Ólafur Darri Ólafsson).

“Somebody Somewhere” finds the laughs in life’s most vulnerable and authentic moments, which makes this week’s fender bender accident a prime example of the show’s excellence.

The HBO comedy series is one episode away from its series finale, with plenty of characters showing significant growth before we say farewell. For Joel (Jeff Hiller), Episode 6 gave him the wake-up call he needed to stand up for himself in his relationship — after a hilariously tragic car accident.

“As Much as I Like Not Feeling” began with Joel getting into an accident with an older lady. As he intently listened to a podcast about “doing hard things,” Joel realized he missed his turn. He hit the brakes and set to reverse, but failed to look before he started going and hit the woman’s car behind him. When he got out of the car,...

Mr. Monk’s Last Case: A Monk Movie acknowledged one of the show’s most important characters despite not bringing them back for the reunion. With only 90 minutes to revisit Adrian and the rest of the Monk cast, Mr. Monk’s Last Case could only reference so many supporting characters. Even Bitty Schram’s Sharona, who left the show during season 3 but remained an important part of the story offscreen, was left out of the movie apart from the flashback at the start.

Set almost 15 years after the end of Monk, Mr. Monk’s Last Case saw Adrian trying to prove that what happened to Molly’s fiancé was not an accident. While the Monk movie did not have time for a lot of cameos and focused on the “last case,” it did acknowledge some of the most important parts of the original series, even through throwaway lines and Easter eggs.

A veteran actor recalls losing out on the role of playing Phoebe's love interest on Friends. The iconic sitcom is one of the relatively few series which, because of its enduring popularity, means that even the smallest and most minor guests can still be recognized for their performances decades later. That is doubly true for someone who was cast to play a recurring love interest to one of the main Friends characters.

Speaking with The A.V. Club, in conjunction with his current role on the HBO comedy series Somebody Somewhere, Tim Bagley reflects on his career and recalls losing out on the opportunity to recur opposite Lisa Kudrow as Phoebe's love interest. Bagley mentions that he was set to play a health inspector before, as he says, he got fired. The actor goes on to explain that he was cast in the short-lived Friends spinoff Joey, in a different role,...

Times they are a-changin’ for the Somebody Somewhere crew, and Sam worries she’ll soon be short one very best friend. No more nightly tuck-ins? No more dinky dinkies? Say it ain’t so!

In Sunday’s episode, Joel and Brad take a huge step in their relationship. One that requires agreeing on fridge pictures (the jury’s still out), appliances on the kitchen counter (nope!) and the proper way to store Corningware in the cabinet. Yes, the new-ish couple moved in together, and even though his life is changing, Joel promised Sam they’d still talk on the regular.

As Somebody Somewhere completes its third and final season on HBO, Bridget Everett is ready to reveal how her gem of a comedy comes up with stories about life in a small Kansas town.

“Plot isn’t central to our show,” the actress admitted Friday at Deadline’s Inaugural TV Sidebar, which launched this year as part of the Scad Film Festival in Savannah, Ga. “I think that’s what makes it unique. It’s just our taste, I guess. We’re more interested in the way the characters interact with each other. In season one, we tried to do a little more plotting. But every time, it didn’t feel organic to the show. So it’s really more about putting people in situations and how they can grow off of each other.”

Launched in 2022, the series follows Sam (Everett), a true Kansan who struggles with loss and acceptance in her midwestern hometown.

It's crazy to think that Somebody Somewhere season 3 is the last season of the comedy-drama. It's actually really good, heartwarming, and tackles some great themes. You definitely root for the main character, Sam, and want her to take those chances that she needs to in life. It's so bittersweet that the final season is here! So when do new episodes come out?

When do new episodes of Somebody Somewhere season 3 come out?

The HBO series premiered on Sunday, Oct. 27, 2024. And so now Somebody Somewhere episode 2 airs Sunday, Nov. 3. Each week, be sure to set your alarms for 10:30 p.m. Et on Sunday nights when new episodes come out both on TV, as well as streaming on Max.

Note: The following story contains spoilers from the “Somebody Somewhere” Season 3 premiere.

“Somebody Somewhere” kicked off its third and final season with promises of growth and a heartbreaking twist involving an adorable rescue dog named Pepper — who happened to be played by star Bridget Everett’s real-life pup.

The HBO comedy series kicked off Season 3 Sunday with “Margarini,” in which Sam (Bridget Everett) found herself feeling adrift while witnessing her friends and family getting settled into new dynamics. Best friend Joel (Jeff Hiller) revealed a new step in his blossoming relationship with Brad (Tim Bagley), telling Sam that they were moving in together; Tricia (Mary Catherine Garrison) dipped into the dating waters after officially getting divorced; and Fred (Murray Hill) faced new lifestyle changes as he settled into his marriage to Susan (Jennifer Mudge). Everett wrote the episode alongside series creators Hannah Bos and Paul Thureen.

Seeing all this change...

We’re in an era of entertainment maximalism. Superheroes with larger-than-life powers; cinematic universes with a dozen franchises or more; huge swings with even the unlikeliest IP: all are inescapable. So it’s nearly a miracle that Somebody Somewhere, which seems like an experiment in how small a story can be and still enthrall its audience, has lasted this long. With its third and final season, it ends as it began: portraying the vital necessity of true friendship, especially later in life.

In the first season, Sam (Bridget Everett) has relatively recently returned from New York City to her hometown of Manhattan, Kansas, for her sister Holly’s last days. As the series begins, Holly has died of cancer, and Sam is just trying to maintain baseline functionality. She doesn’t realize that Joel (Jeff Hiller), now her co-worker at her job reading college admission essays, knew her when they were both in high school,...

“Somebody Somewhere” is a show about friendship.

It’s also a show about trying. And growing. And about a million other things that happen in the quest to find your people — wherever they may be.

For the crew of “Somebody Somewhere” that place is Manhattan, Kansas, and over three too-quick seasons, the Peabody-winning comedy series centers on Sam (Bridget Everett), a woman attempting to put her life back together in a small town after the death of her sister. She’s dealing with a lot of self-hate, but slowly she learns to build her own community — which includes new best friend Joel (Jeff Hiller), occasional nemesis sister Tricia (Mary Catherine Garrison), and many others, including memorable turns from Murray Hill and Tim Bagley.

“One of the things I love about the show is we’re more character driven [as opposed to plot],” Everett told IndieWire. “The most interesting storytelling is just thinking about Joel...

In Season 1 of HBO’s Peabody Award-winning dramedy “Somebody Somewhere,” Sam Miller (Bridget Everett) worked through her grief and anger in the months following her older sister Holly’s death. In Season 2, she struggled to find her place in her hometown again while managing her first big blowup with her best friend Joel (Jeff Hiller) and grappling with a secret Holly had kept from her. Now, in the third season of this outstanding series, Sam finally settles into her tiny community and tries to navigate change without retreating into old habits of isolation and self-loathing. Just as magical as ever, the final season of “Somebody Somewhere” is a stunningly honest depiction of friendship, grace and courage.

Set in Manhattan, Kansas, “Somebody Somewhere” captures the quiet, charm and monotony of small-town living. Instead of being patronizing, creators Hannah Bos and Paul Thureen offer a hilarious and beautifully compassionate window into this particular place,...

Somebody Somewhere will return later this month for its third and final season, and HBO has released a brand-new trailer for the comedy series. The cable network announced in August that season three would end the comedy series.

HBO has revealed the official trailer and key art for Somebody Somewhere Season 3, which will wrap up the series and premiere on Sunday, October 27 (10:30 – 11:00 p.m. Et/Pt). Starring comedian and singer Bridget Everett, Somebody Somewhere Season 3 will debut on HBO and will be available to stream on Max.

From Mighty Mint, Duplass Brothers Productions, and executive producers Bridget Everett, Hannah Bos, and Paul Thureen, the series follows Sam (Everett), a true Kansan on the surface but, beneath it all, struggling to fit the hometown mold.

Grappling with loss and acceptance, singing is Sam’s saving grace. It 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. Anywhere. Somewhere. In season three, we see growth against all odds.

Somebody Somewhere is going out on a high note. In the new trailer released Monday for the HBO comedy’s upcoming third and final season, Bridget Everett’s Sam is facing a whole lot of mystery as everything around her seems to be changing all at once.

According to the official description for the forthcoming run (which premieres Sunday, Oct. 27 at 10:30/9:30c), “We see growth against all odds.” In the new video, Sam embraces her chosen family (and sister Tricia) as she works a new job and worries about her next steps in life.

“Somebody Somewhere” is bracing for major changes in its first trailer for Season 3. The final installment of Bridget Everett’s award-winning comedy will premiere Oct. 27 at 10:30 p.m. Et on HBO. New episodes will also be available to stream on Max.

Monday’s trailer opens with what Sam dubs “a lot of change.” As her friends encourage the group to eat healthier, her best friend Joel (Jeff Hiller) prepares to move.

“I don’t really know what I’m doing. What’s wrong with wanting a little bit more?” Sam asks her sister.

“You are a woman who is in charge of her life. But you have to manifest it. You have to say it out loud otherwise it won’t happen,” Tricia (Mary Catherine Garrison) lectures. Later, she gives some kinder advice, assuring her sister that “nobody knows what they’re doing, I promise. You just do it.

It’s the beginning of the end for HBO’s Somebody Somewhere, the Peabody Award-winning comedy starring, written, and executive produced by comedian and singer Bridget Everett.

In the official trailer for the third and final season, positive change is in the Kansas wind for Sam (Everett), Joel (Jeff Hiller) and Tricia (Mary Catherine Garrison) in the HBO Original comedy that returns Oct. 27. The cast also includes Tim Bagley (Brad), Murray Hill (Fred Rococo), Jennifer Mudge (Susan), Mercedes White (Tiffani), Meighan Gerachis (Irma), and Ólafur Darri Ólafsson (Iceland).

The second season of Somebody Somewhere won a Peabody Award and was nominated for a second GLAAD Media Award. Everett received individual nominations by the Critics Choice Awards for Best Actress in a Comedy Series and the TCA Award for Individual Achievement in Comedy.

The 2000s were decades filled with some truly funny comedy movies, but plenty of hilarious releases have been mostly forgotten by modern audiences. Although this was the decade where Will Ferrell, Adam Sandler, and Ben Stiller achieved major success at the box office and Judd Apatows unique brand of comedy took over, there were some movies that came and went without leaving a lasting impact. However, this did not make them any less effective, and many of these forgotten comedies deserve to be revisited.

The best comedies of the 2000s were often crude and raunchy with plenty of over-the-top energy, although some of the most underrated and forgotten movies from this era were far subtler and valued sentimental more. Other comedies from shortly after the dawn of the millennium lacked the originality needed to make a lasting impact and were consumed and quickly forgotten by viewers. Whatever the reason, these...

Somebody Somewhere is bowing out.

The critically acclaimed, Peabody Award-winning HBO dramedy will end with its forthcoming third season. The final run is set to premiere Oct. 27.

HBO picked up a third season of the series in June 2023. It began filming soon after the end of last year’s SAG-AFTRA strike (scripts had been completed prior to the writers strike), making it one of the first productions to get running again after writers and actors secured new contracts.

Created by Hannah Bos and Paul Thureen and starring Bridget Everett (who’s also a writer and executive producer), Somebody Somewhere centers on Sam (Everett), who moves back to her Kansas hometown and eventually finds her people in a community of outsiders “who don’t fit in but don’t give up,” as the show’s logline puts it.

The Groundlings will host an improv musical fundraising event on Oct. 26, featuring Ana Gasteyer, Kristen Bell, Kristen Wiig and Will Forte. The event, held at the Performing Arts Center at Vista Del Mar, will benefit the Motion Picture & Television Fund to support below-the-line workers impacted by the strikes.

“One Night Only,” created and directed by Groundlings Main Company member Andrew Leeds, is a full production of a well-known Broadway musical. The catch? The improvisers are given the script and their roles only 24 hours in advance.

“These strikes have taken a terrible toll on our amazing crews, and it isn’t over yet. Even with the WGA strike ending, most crew members won’t be able to start work again until the SAG-AFTRA deal is ratified,” Leeds said in a statement. “Even then, many will be fighting to survive as they wait for productions to start back up.

Ana Gasteyer, Kristen Bell, Kristen Wiig, and Will Forte are among the performers scheduled to take part in One Night Only, a Groundlings musical improv show to benefit the Motion Picture & Television Fund.

The show, set for Thursday, October 26 in Los Angeles, will be a “fully-realized production of a well-known Broadway musical,” the catch being that the performers won’t know what show or their roles until 24 hours before curtain. “The audience finds out what the show is when the curtain rises on the most terrified group of actors you will ever see,” the improv company says.

Created and directed by Groundlings Main Company member Andrew Leeds, One Night Only will include performers Kristen Bell, Kristen Wiig, Ana Gasteyer, Will Forte, Jim Rash, Nat Faxon, Edi Patterson, Julian Gant, Michaela Watkins, Greg Worswick, Lyric Lewis, Jim Cashman, Allison Dunbar, H Michael Croner, Michelle Noh, Patty Guggenheim, Stephanie Courtney, Matt Cook,...

A large cast has been assembled, headlined by Kristen Wiig, Kristen Bell, Will Forte and Ana Gasteyer, among many others.
