How I Stay Sane in TV’s Most Deranged Comedy

from Obsessed: The Podcast · host The Daily Beast

Matt Wilstein sits down with Lake Bell (‘It’s Complicated’) to talk about how she possibly keeps a straight face opposite SNL alum Tim Robinson on HBO’s bonkers show ‘The Chair Company.’ The comedy star also shares stories about auditioning for Woody Allen and her humiliating first day on set with Meryl Streep. But first, Matt chats with Nick Schager, Entertainment Critic for the Daily Beast’s Obsessed, about all things Tim Robinson, breaking down what makes his work so singular, and why this new show feels like him at the peak of his comedic powers.
