will and grace

A great conversation with award-winning writer and producer Bill Wrubel, known for Ted Lasso, Modern Family, Will and Grace, Ugly Betty, Sports Night and more. 

Bill has won multiple awards- at least 20 wins and 17 nominations- including 7 Primetime Emmys for Outstanding Comedy Series, Outstanding Producer from PGA, 5 WGA Awards, Hollywood Critics Association for Best Writing in a Streaming Series, and the list goes on. 

He shares his personal story and how streaming has changed writing for TV, whether comedy can be learned, social impact, character and storyline arcs,  and of course,  "football is life!" 

Meg tells of how Truman Capote dug his own grave with his pen. Jessica checks into The Hotel New Hampshire and finds Rob Lowe, beautiful bathrobes, and a bear.

Legendary sitcom director James Burrows shares his decades of memories from behind the camera of some of the most iconic shows ever on TV from The Mary Tyler Moore Show and Cheers to Friends and Will & Grace. Originally from the theatre world, he recognized early on that sitcoms are plays with cameras and you can’t teach comedy or chemistry. Actress Debra Messing chimes in to share what makes him so brilliant, and they both dish on the buffet of guest stars that played with them on Will & Grace - including one Ali Wentworth who got down and dirty as Dr. Superstein, Grace’s gynecologist, in 2019.

If you have questions or guest suggestions, Ali would love to hear from you. Call or text her at (323) 364-6356. Or email go-ask-ali-podcast-at-gmail.com. (No dashes)

**Go Ask Ali has been nominated for a Webby Award for Best Interview/Talk Show Episode! Please vote for her and the whole team at https://bit.ly/415e8uN by April 20, 2023!

Unlike major corporations, we DON'T turn away from Pride on July 1st. Happy (slightly belated) Pride everyone. It may technically be July, but during 🏳️‍🌈 June 🏳️‍🌈 we opened the DMs to friends and listeners about your favorite LGBTQIA+ characters and relationships from TV and how they impacted you. Today we talk ‘ship about Queer as Folk, Will and Grace, The Bold Type and more as listeners share their own queer experiences and the good (and bad) representation on TV that affected them. JP Maddock also joins to chat about GLAAD’s recent study that reports LGBTQ representation decreased during the 2020-2021 season for the first time in 5 years.

.

.

Much like TV, Talking ‘Ship will take a BRIEF summer hiatus so that we can go out, catch up on some TV, have a little bit of a hot girl summer, but mostly prepare to talk about more couples, more shows, and more ‘ships this Fall. Continue to follow us on IG for updates, to share your TV options, and to let us know who you want us to talk ‘ship about. Have a beautiful, romantic, sexy, cinematic summer full of wistful montages and twilight make-outs... and we’ll see you back here in September.

Television promo and strategy greats Vince Manze and Preston Beckman masterminded Must See TV at NBC and groundbreaking FOX programming like American Idol, 24 and House. These two broadcasting giants have been tapped to roll out Discovery Plus and they’ve got stories to share about the casting of Friends, how to promote talents like Seinfeld who hate promos, the programming war that pitted Tiffany Amber Thiessen against Tiffany Amber Theissen and that time a lighting rig almost took out beloved Los Angeles weatherman Fritz Coleman. Plus Fritz and Weezy are recommending Before We Were Yours by Lisa Wingate, Hemmingway on PBS, The Fight of Our Lives, It All Begins With a Song, and Poldark.

Before Sean Hayes was winning Emmy awards, he was winning the Golden Crutch award for being the clumsiest person in his high school drama department. Hear how he earned the title, plus how he coped with getting hazed, on this week’s episode.

Leslie gets blitzed, which would normally be a lot of fun. But unfortunately, she’s gotta go to the Pawnee Airport to do an interview with Buddy Wood, played ably by Sean Hayes of Will and Grace fame. Meanwhile, Tom and Ann try to set a record for the most consecutive hours of dating (their current high is 47 straight hours).

Plus, a lot of random Seinfeld references, Sean is on a tough streak in our weekly trivia, and Joey shares some fun broadcasting terms. We also dive into the highly accurate phrase “it ain’t government work if you don’t have to do it twice” and discuss if it’s strange to read a book alone at a bar or restaurant. Also, Haleigh was on the radio! It’s like a podcast but live.

Finally, Sean takes us inside some DRAMA at his job. It’s a true parks and rec spectacular!
