Summary

Lisa Kudrow is up for two Emmys for the final season of The Comeback , about an actress who will endure almost anything to keep working. She spoke with Tonya Mosley about her character’s delusion and how the show has captured different eras of Hollywood. Kudrow also talks about a life-changing trip to Belarus, being a straight-laced girl, and watching Friends after her co-star Matthew Perry’s death. Also, critic-at-large John Powers reviews the Paramount+ series Diarra from Detroit .
