Somebody Somewhere

but I don't get this show.

To put this show over, hold on, to put this show over The Shield, to put it over Justified, to put it over Somebody Somewhere, How To With John Wilson, Better Things, Dexter, okay, that I get,

Catastrophe,

The Night Of, even House, MD, which I wasn't a huge fan of that show in those later seasons, but you put that over all these shows, And is just so, so baffling.

And then she asks Dale to look for games and cards to distract people.

And the character Dale is Jeff Hiller, who is from Somebody Somewhere, the show that I am just constantly talking up to both of you because it is a show that unlike maybe this one, I think you both would enjoy.

And he won an Emmy last year for that show.

And I thought it was very disturbing.

I will never have anything bad to say about that guy.

He is in Somebody Somewhere, which is one of my favorite shows of all time.

I thought he was so great in it.

So whenever he's in anything, I'm like, I just love him.

Yeah.

Did you rejoice at the sight of Tim Bagley from Somebody Somewhere in this show? Yeah,

I did.

I really did.

That's how it felt.

He's clearly good at his job.

He's got just, this is, I'm just completely going off a tangent, but something about his delivery in somebody somewhere in here, the way he talks.

And

when you are at Playwright Horizons, and does that stay together, and what does that chemistry do as you're building a career?

It's just kind of amazing to, I'm also gonna throw in there, my friends Hannah Boss and Paul Thorine, who created the beautiful show Somebody Somewhere on HBO.

They were the people that were putting me in plays before anybody else would.

And we did so much downtown theater, in basements, in anywhere we could.

you know, blew up, you know, the drinking, just, you can't be a persona 24 hours a day for decades.

So it blew up and, you know, around the time right before I filmed Somebody Somewhere on HBO, which is the same time as Life and Beth, you know, kids, trans kids and parents of trans kids where like your character means so much to me, you're such a positive role model, like all this kind of stuff.

And then also the young people share so much now.

We never did when we were young.

If you haven't made it to one of Murray Hill's live shows, like his annual Christmas show that creates a space of celebration and festiveness for outcasts of all kinds, maybe you've seen him on TV.

in the Amy Schumer show, Life and Beth, or on one of my all-time favorites, Somebody Somewhere, where Murray played an ag extension agent who also hosts a local gathering for outcasts of all kinds.

Hey, Jean.

Are you going to introduce me or what?

After Murray got sober, he got back to work.

And around 2020, his career really started taking off in new ways.

He was cast in two TV shows, the Amy Schumer show Life and Beth and Somebody Somewhere on HBO.

Both productions were paused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
