Summary

'The Five Star Weekend’ star D'Arcy Carden joins the show. Over BBQ black cod and baby beet salad, D’Arcy tells me about choosing roles that scare her after ‘The Good Place,’ like ‘A League of Their Own’ and ‘The Five Star Weekend.’ Plus, we get into her early career in New York City – juggling nanny jobs (including for a former SNL star), comedy shows at UCB, and a fascinating gig that combined live theater and transit.This episode was recorded at Wife and the Somm in Glassell Park, Los Angeles.  Learn more about your ad choices.
