Michaela Watkins Makes Everything Better

<p>Michaela Watkins was “rudely” fired by SNL after just one season. She has been proving them wrong ever since. This week, the comedian and actress opens up about celebrity activism in the wake of George Floyd’s murder, hosting a “Zoom shiva” for <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/marc-maron-sobs-through-emotional-tribute-to-partner-lynn-shelton-on-wtf-podcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">director Lynn Shelton</a>, sex scenes from a “female lens” on ‘Casual,’ her rocky one season as a cast member on SNL and a lot more. Michaela also previews her role as a Marcia Clark-esque prosecutor on the upcoming third season of ‘Search Party.’</p><p><br></p><p>Twitter:<a href="https://twitter.com/rickygervais" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> </a><a href="https://twitter.com/michaelaWat" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@michaelaWat</a> and<a href="https://twitter.com/mattwilstein" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> @mattwilstein</a> | Instagram:<a href="https://www.instagram.com/rickygervais/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> </a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/michaelawat/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@michaelawat</a> and<a href="https://www.instagram.com/lastlaughpod/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> @lastlaughpod</a></p><p>Highlights from this episode and others at <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/keyword/the-last-laugh" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Daily Beast</a>.</p><p>Go to <a href="https://ratethispodcast.com/laugh" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ratethispodcast.com/laugh</a> to leave us a rating and review.</p> &#10;&nbsp;<br /><hr><p style='color: grey; font - size: 0.75em; '>See <a style='color: grey; ' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='https://acast.com/privacy'>acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>
