Things you didn’t know about Bridget Everett: And so, I just wanted to have a place where we didn’t feel super isolated during such an isolating time. We shot during COVID and we had very strict COVID protocols. How Sam is, in the beginning of the season, that’s how I’ve lived for a very long time: alone, staring at the walls. It was like summer camp! But I have lived alone for a very long time. Sometimes we got on each other’s nerves, but that was part of it. Murray made us go over our lines and he was like a drill sergeant. Sharing a house with a group of actors sounds intense! Why did you want to do that? We all got a house together, and it was nice because it felt like our real, interpersonal relationships were blossoming while they were also blossoming on screen, even though we shot wildly out of order. Jeff is so nimble and under-utilized in the industry. Murray, who plays Fred, is one of my closest friends in real life so we already have a language together, and Jeff I’ve known for years and been a fan of for a very long time. Were there any character dynamics that changed because of your real-life relationship with the actor cast in the role? The connections Sam makes become so important to her outlook on her life. We found their love story in a lot of those moments. I’m not trying to give myself a pat on the back, but it was about the connection between the two of them.

Jeff, who plays Joel, and I sitting in a car, and he’s talking about what he does in a rain storm, and I just made up this little song on the spot about drinking your own wee-wee. And some of my favorite moments are not scripted, they were just us having a little bit of fun. It was just a very loose and warm environment, and I think it allowed people to show the best parts of themselves. But I didn’t want it to be, “Let’s just try to fucking slam down jokes on each other.” It was never like that. Jeff, Mike, Mary Catherine, Murray, that’s the world we come from and you want to be able to that. Were you able to go off-script with them?

Since the tone can be so serious at times, it feels like there might not be a lot of room for improv, but your cast is stacked full of comedians. My family loves and accepts me, in spite of the fact that I sing about dicks. But as I’ve gotten older, I know a lot of that is just internal things. You can feel a little lost in that world - in a conservative place - if you’re tit-slinging, singing about dicks. And I wanted you to see why Sam is the way she is. That’s who I am: There’s a wild side, but it’s really born out of a deep underbelly of incredibly sensitive.

Also, there’s a thing in my live shows where, if you see a full live show, you get the banging and the hips and then you it with a tender moment. We’re walking in on somebody who’s already in the steps of their grief. Why did you think it was important to start the show already post-loss, in that grief? That kind of humor certainly pops up in the show, but overall it deals in heavier topics, such as the grief you mentioned. Dicks are fun and we should celebrate them. Just in general, a woman of my age, what am I doing singing about dicks and tits? It makes me laugh, it’s a part of me, so it goes in the show. My original songs are a huge part of me and the reason why I’m on HBO and have this show, so we wanted to include that and try to figure out what it would be like to be somebody who sings these kinds of songs. There’s still whispers of the raunchy wild child, but that character was born out of a complex emotional landscape, so we wanted to show a lot of different sides. Having done cabaret shows for years, how did this show allow you to celebrate those previous performances but also go beyond them?
