Rachel Sennott on Good Hang with Amy Poehler

with RS Rachel Sennott

The Hang, in Short

Molly Gordon spit hot tea all over her computer right before calling in. That's the kind of chaos that makes this Good Hang setup work. Amy gets Rachel Sennott for the full episode, but first Molly (her costar from Theater Camp and actual wife, legally married in the emotional sense) drops in to dish. They talk about how Rachel straight up announced "I wrote four scripts" when they first met on Shiva Baby, which cost $200,000 and somehow became massive in London specifically. Molly's burning question for Rachel is where that unapologetic ambition came from, because most people hide wanting things that badly. Also, Molly wants Rachel to tell the story about the first time she was fingered, a bit she used to do onstage. There's a whole tangent about tea versus coffee and using Sweet Green bathrooms. Amy's a Barry's Tea person now.
