Kathryn Hahn on Good Hang with Amy Poehler

with KH Kathryn Hahn

The Hang, in Short

Amy confesses she's been keeping her laptop open this whole time just to look like she's fact-checking, but she's never actually used it. Bill Simmons told her to lose the laptop for better conversation flow, and Kathryn immediately backs Amy up: screw it, it's your podcast. They bond over loving messy, mid-process creative work rather than well-oiled machines. Patti LuPone Zooms in while applying "slap" (theater makeup) before attending an opera with a senior citizen special dinner at 5:30. She snort-laughs describing Kathryn on the Agatha set as fearless, generous, and deeply goofy. Patti suggests Amy ask Kathryn about directing so she can get hired. The vibe is loose and loving, with Amy still figuring out her podcast format while Kathryn cheers her on.
