Actor Lizzy Caplan joins the show. Over fried catfish and Chinese broccoli salad, we reminisce about our early days as castmates in the sitcom “The Class”—including the infamous table read she slept through—and how that period shaped both of our careers. Lizzy shares stories about growing up in Los Angeles, breaking out in “Mean Girls,” and finding her voice in beloved cult shows like “Party Down.” We also get personal, reflecting on the loss of our parents in recent years, and why she couldn’t imagine raising her child anywhere but Brooklyn. This episode was recorded at Strange Delight in Fort Greene, Brooklyn.
