Rachel Dratch on Good Hang with Amy Poehler

with RD Rachel Dratch

The Hang, in Short

Before Amy even talks to Rachel Dratch, she checks in with Kevin Cahoon, who's dealing with a wild feral hog situation at his mom's place in rural Texas. Thirty hogs at a time, tearing up property, setting off alarms in the middle of the night. This is the kind of chaos that kicks off a 30-year friendship celebration. Kevin, who met Rachel doing the musical Minsky's in LA (a show that closed out of town, exactly as Rachel's psychic predicted), gushes about what a steadfast friend she's been. He saw her get a Tony nomination for her Broadway debut in Pussy, watched her crush it at Shakespeare in the Park, and wants Amy to ask about little theater camp Rachel's biggest inspirations. Also: what pulls Debbie Downer out of her doom spiral? The feline AIDS won't cure itself.
