    Jennifer saying she felt like she wasn’t acting with Natasha makes sense 😂😂 Me listening to her trying to explain it is just perfect
  • @ariasijiali1689
    I can't believe Mike White came up with the idea, wrote the script, did pre production, all within 2 and a half months. As a writer and director, I just wanna say, that's insane!! So much talent.
  • Jennifer Coolidge is such a mood. Her answers were hilarious, relateable and vulnerable all at the same time.
  • @ebrozo
    Laughed like an idiot through Jennifer's part. She is priceless! But it's too easy to say that the genius is in the casting and directing. She is too modest and deserves the recognition as a superbly funny actress with amazing timing and skill.
  • @scottjharris
    I love how Jennifer Coolidge is texting while the others are talking 🤣🤣🤣
  • LMAO jennifer coolage doesn’t even try, she’s so naturally hilarious. She really was her character
  • @ryz333n8
    Jennifer making everyone laugh made my heart so happy
  • @jeremyemer2740
    Hands down, By far the best show on tv right now! Brilliantly written, directed and acted from all fasets! The fact that Mike White had 2 1/2 months to prep this production is mind blowing! Kuddos to him and the entire cast/crew!
  • @samronalds7799
    Can’t crack the code any better than getting paid to live in Hawaii during covid and make an amazing show
  • @mandymac74
    This show is so excellent at the slow character development. Each one you unwrap a layer at a time and it’s fascinating to me.
  • @Lulu-kt6gr
    It’s so funny when mike can’t contain his laughter when Jennifer is speaking!
  • @amyleu
    Why am I laughing SO hard with tears when Jennifer Coolidge talks?! Everything she does is just so great, there’s no one else like her on screen. Gotta love her! 😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️
  • @theytube83
    Jennifer is so real and so funny! She really cracked me up 😂😂
  • @WillJBailey
    Holy crap, he wrote the scripts and did all the prep in two and half months! Wow. Seriously impressive.

    Finally, Jennifer and Murray getting the recognition they deserve with their SAG nominations.
