  • Michael McKean on Crafting Characters Who Are Elaborately F*cked Up
    Nov 4 2024
    This week on Zero Stars, hosts Bobcat and Sean sit down with comedy legend Michael McKean for a dive into his remarkable career. While McKean’s work rarely draws criticism, the hosts managed to unearth a few elusive bad reviews to get his take. Michael opens up about the sting of his first negative review and shares why, in his experience, a middling review can feel worse than an outright bad one. He also takes us behind the scenes of Laverne & Shirley, SNL, and Better Call Saul, revealing the moments that shaped these iconic roles. Plus, Bobcat and Michael revisit the unforgettable wrap party for Radioland Murders, where things got so wild a producer ended up in a cage.
