On today's episode, I talk to actress and comedian Michaela
Watkins. Originally from Syracuse, NY, Michaela's career really
began when she moved to Los Angeles in the early 2000s, where she
joined the Groundlings. She was cast on SNL for the 2008 season,
and while she only stayed a year, this led to many other incredible
roles on shows like New Adventures of Old Christine, Enlightened,
Trophy Wife, New Girl, Veep, Wet Hot American Summer, Catastrophe,
Get Shorty, Transparent, Search Party, The Unicorn and many other
programs. In 2014, Michaela created the show Benched, and while it
only lasted one season, it was a delight. And from 2015 to 2018,
Michaela starred in the brilliant dramedy Casual, which is easily
one of the best shows of the last decade and the spiritual
successor to Six Feet Under. Most recently, Michaela co-stars in
(friend of the show, friend IRL) Josh Ruben's latest film
Werewolves Within.
