Rachel Brosnahan, Tracee Ellis Ross, Debra Messing, Molly Shannon and Frankie Shaw also star on the Comedy Actress Roundtable. ‘Close Up With The Hollywood Reporter’ airs every Sunday on SundanceTV.
Seven of TV’s top funny ladies — Drew Barrymore, Rachel Brosnahan, Alison Brie, Tracee Ellis Ross, Debra Messing, Molly Shannon and Frankie Shaw — open up about pushing boundaries, demanding fair pay and the long, hard battle to keep their clothes on: “It wasn’t until we started having these conversations that I realized I’d been sexually harassed.”
Viewers can watch the roundtable discussions every Sunday on SundanceTV as part of the cable channel’s original nonfiction series, Close Up With The Hollywood Reporter, produced in partnership with THR. Come back to THR.com on Mondays after the shows air for the full, uncensored discussion online.
The second of seven episodes — the Comedy Actress Roundtable — aired this Sunday, July 1. For subsequent episodes, tune in every Sunday at 10 a.m. ET/7 a.m. PT on satellite on channel 557 on DirecTV and 126 on Dish nationwide, and at 10 a.m. ET/PT on cable (channel 625 on Spectrum in L.A., 94 in NYC).
The filmed roundtable panels feature Emmy nominees and other top stars of the year’s most buzzed-about television series, including comedy and drama actors, actresses, showrunners and producers. Guests will discuss everything from their individual projects to their craft and true stories from the business. The panels will present thoughtful, informative takes on the film and television industry today.
