## Resource

This week, Becky welcomes one of the funniest people she knows to the pod: actress and director Lennon Parham (Veep, Minx). Lennon opens up about her Georgia roots and the pivotal role her college friend Jack McBrayer played in her decision to pursue a career in comedy. She then shares how she first crossed paths with her frequent creative partner Jessica St. Clair, and takes us behind the scenes of the TV shows they co-created — NBC's Best Friends Forever and USA's Playing House. Lennon also talks about what drew her to directing, and how meaningful it's been to collaborate with Bridget Everett on HBO Max's Somebody Somewhere. She and Becky then get candid about the challenges of working motherhood and the clearest "no" Lennon ever had to give — before 'Last Looks' allows them to bond over their shared love of The Silence of the Lambs, Indigo Girls and more.
