Cole Escola on Good Hang with Amy Poehler

with CE Cole Escola

The Hang, in Short

Amy Sedaris reveals she has high cholesterol, which feels perfectly on brand for someone whose catchphrase is "hot creamy meal straight to bed." She drops this while explaining how Cole Escola's generation is annoyingly honest and open about everything, leaving zero mystery. The real question: what's left to learn? Amy Poehler brings these two comedy weirdos together to discuss Cole's post-Oh Mary life, and it's pure chaos. They bond over being too old to jump in pools (Cole got swimmer's ear, tragic). Sedaris gushes about working with Cole on Difficult People and At Home with Amy Sedaris, calling them an old soul with a young spirit. Cole confesses to sleeping at 5 a.m. after eating Indian food post-show because of acid reflux. Broadway is brutal. Also, Sedaris has a miniature wheelchair collection in her fireplace. Obviously.
