Show Notes

They shared everything, but the truth. Elisabeth Moss, Kerry Washington, and Kate Mara star in Imperfect Women, now streaming on Apple TV.


Kevin Fallon and Dan Bucatinsky close out their Comeback rewatch series with the show’s co-creator, Michael Patrick King. In a wide-ranging conversation, King reflects on the origins of The Comeback with Lisa Kudrow, the inspiration behind Valerie Cherish, and the risks the show took in satirizing reality TV before the genre exploded. He also shares behind-the-scenes stories about pitching the series to HBO, crafting the unforgettable Season 2 finale, and how the show continues to evolve decades later.
