## Resource

On the third and final season of “The Comeback” (now streaming; new episodes air Sundays on HBO), Dan Bucatinsky plays publicist-turned-manager-turned-producing partner Billy Stanton to Lisa Kudrow’s Valerie Cherish. Dan also serves as the series’ executive producer alongside Kudrow, and he joins me to talk about what made him want to return to Valerie’s cringeworthy orbit; his origin story meeting friend and business partner, Kudrow; how “The Comeback” predicted major entertainment industry hurdles facing actors and writers; and some of the roles that got away from him as an actor. This is another Hurrdat Media Production. Hurrdat Media is a podcast network and digital media production company based in Omaha, NE.
