The Comedians Confronting Darkness And Mortality

Natasha Lyonne and Maya Rudolph are two of the funniest stars out there, but on Russian Doll and Forever, they’re forced to put that humor to use in the middle of some pretty intense situations. Lyonne has a serious theory about Rudolph’s ability to move back and forth: “Because of SNL and, first, The Groundlings, that there’s a deep training ground in there that’s very real. You give them what’s really a very formal education: Under all conditions, the highest of stakes, at the most pressure in the world, deliver.” – Variety
