Bridget Everett on her show “Somebody Somewhere,” missing the Midwest, and having a “potty mouth”

[@lisagibson9030]

I love this show. I'm also an unmarried, childfree woman in her 40s. Im psyched to see someone so relatable to my life on TV.

If everyone had a bestie like Joel, the world would be a better place. 😎

[@hakukuze7947]

This is a skilled interviewer, asks insightful questions, allows for a full answer and with every question takes you in more. Shows like this don’t come along that often and I hope it lasts many more seasons.

[@kbrown5523]

I love Somebody Somewhere so much and I love that Bridget is doing her thing. She created a show that has real characters. Not one person on that show looks fake and plastic and perfect and they don't act that way either. I am so sick and tired of fake everything, SS is such a needed show and I hope that it keeps going for a looooong time.

[@elizabethallen4353]

Agree - I absolutely love the realness.

[@JDMimeTHEFIRST]

There are a lot of shows with realistic people. I think the setting and what they do is definitely less flashy and fake.

I'm very happy this show has another season. It is wonderful and real and people need to see it. Joel really shines in this incredibly talented cast.

[@SurcieD]

I've watched so many of the interviews Bridget has given, and this one was my favorite. Brittany's questions are so thoughtful. She clearly is a big fan of the show.

[@bethbyers9096]

Somebody Somewhere means a lot to me. my brother passed between seasons 1 and 2 and i thought it would be too hard to keep watching but it's restorative. love you Bridget 💖

[@Frankie_Lee2]

Bridget’s heart and vulnerability might be painful for her, but it’s her biggest strength. She reminds me of a beautiful golden lion who’s afraid of her lion-ness and is learning how to be it. I am thrilled she is working on her self through Sam. We, the viewers, get to reap the rewards. Great interview. Love you from the minute I first saw you on the screen, Bridget. ❤

[@barbarabarnes415]

Bridget Everett is a beautiful soul. Her show is a gift. ❤

[@shbhchwh]

Thank you for this wonderful interview. For this Midwestern 68 year old who was a theatre major who still loves to sing, SS is just iconic and beautifully produced and written. The singing lessons this season...I can't even think about them without tearing up.

[@LyndellN]

Bridget, you have a beautiful spirit. Thanks for sharing it!

[@catherinepowers2750]

Bridget is a beautiful genius! So GLAD to see more of her and Somebody Somewhere is gorgeous and hysterical!

[@JuiceMyRandomness]

The perfection of this show… is just wow!

[@TheOtterKnitter]

This show has completely captured our hearts. And I really have to underline how real the sibling relationship feels.

[@MikeCheck1814]

I'm a huge fan of this show and Bridgett. What a fantastic interview! I didn't expect the emotion and depth - and that makes me love Bridgett even more. Season 2 is outstanding and I cannot wait to see what happens in season 3!

[@MillieMaa]

Also just want to say as a singer it is SO BEAUTIFUL to see Sam's journey with her singing. When you are full of grief it can be super hard to sing, and that's just a fact....

[@MrBangbangjim]

Watching SOMEBODY SOMEWHERE is like spying on some people going about their daily doings and listening in on their private conversations. It's SO real. Not like acting. I love Jeff Hiller, what a doll. Everybody on that show is amazing and deserves all kinds of accolades.

[@CMB14-hp1ib]

Love Bridget 💜👏 so much! Thank you for sharing your honest emotions and for bringing us Sam

[@sarahhammond3748]

Hands down one of the best shows on tv. Expertly captures the small town life .

[@animonteleone396]

Singing is emotional because vocal cords are part of your body, you are sharing your actual body and soul with people. That coupled with the use of breath and the emotional nature of the music itself makes singing incredibly personal. I relate to this so much as a singer, when I’m feeling down I just don’t want to sing. Thanks Bridget for bringing these nuanced little moments from life into the conversation

[@travissay3311]

Bridget is OUTSTANDING!

[@menotu4870]

I'd never seen Bridget Everett in anything, but I'd seen her on other talk shows as well...& she almost always comes off as brash, crude, & over the top...despite even seemingly holding herself back...but humble & sweet as well. So when I saw the tab to Somebody Somewhere on HBO, I reluctantly decided to record & watch one of the episodes, because I already have too many shows I haven't gotten to. But after it recorded, I thought I should watch the pilot episode first, to familiarize myself with the characters......& I ended up watching EVERY episode of both previous seasons in chronological order, within 2-3 days. It just blew me away! Review: This is an AMAZINGLY well-written & acted show. EVERY single individual associated with it is stellar at what they do: Writing...casting...acting...directing...editing...you name it! But what stands out the most, is this woman's incredibly natural acting ability! She is simply AMAZING! Do NOT miss this show...you'll be extremely glad you didn't. :-)

[@courtneybegnoche5163]

This was such a thoughtful interview! You can tell she really loves the show and is a true fan. Bridget is just the best

[@deer105]

This series is so, so good. It's a breath of fresh air. Just real people dealing with real things. The last episode of Season 2 set in rural Kansas is gorgeous. I'm from Kansas and I felt like I was home again, and then to listen to Kansas in the credits fadeout.. so much nostalgia.

[@sarahc8493]

Thank you for showcasing real people. Bridgette is a gift as an artist, and Brittany Luse is one of my favorite interviewers.

[@Scully331]

Somebody Somewhere reminds me of The Detectorist - a UK show. It is great. Please don't take these characters away too soon! Wonderful.

[@althtfncypaintasfair]

I love both of those shows but never made a connection. I can kinda of see it. The Detectorists for me is a perfect show.

[@lisahenderson123]

That's a great comparison. I love Somebody Somewhere and The Detectorists for some of the same reasons.

[@lizrodriguez3821]

I love this show so much! I am from the Midwest and I completely agree with what Bridget Everett says about leaving a small town in the Midwest and then needing that place when you are older and appreciating it more. Brilliant show with amazing characters.💛💛💛

Wow, Brittany Luce. This was such a worthwhile interview. I'm a big fan of Somebody Somewhere, and you're the first person I've seen to get Bridget to speak so deeply about herself. And you did it thoughtfully and kindly.

I am so so glad Bridget found a vehicle to allow her phenomenal talent to be realized. I am from a family of 6, I was the singing sister, and I was also on the swim team. Plus I love the C word. I am now retired and my sister lives in Burlington Kansas. So many coincidences. My BFF , I haven't seen in years...he has always tried to get me to sing. I haven't seen him, though we communicate...his stage 4 lung cancer and my loss of mobility has made us separate from seeing each other physically. But Bridget! I have followed your career for many years. Your dream sequence from another show, of you singing in a gorgeous pearl encrusted bra still lives in my head, and heart. You deserve everything. ( our family lost a sister too. ) JUST LOVE YOUR PASSION.

[@debsylvester2012]

Add on lyric- It’s been a minute since I lived the life I wanted to- I chose to walk a different path- those that walk with me today are the ones that still make me laugh - Dear Bridget- I hadn’t sung a song in years until I saw Somebody Somewhere- I studied with a former Metropolitan Opera coach and he helped me discover a voice I had hidden and he set me free. When I heard you sing on your show I instinctively knew you were also one that needed and have to sing to release all of your voice and bring better vibrations to the world. I dig your show to the marrow of my bones. You make me cry, laugh, giggle, snort, and feel filled with new possibilities. Thank you dear girl and please thank your outstanding cast. You all are Rock Stars and new Heroes to us all. Keep going! ☮️🌹❤️

What a Wonderful interview! Thanks to Both ladies for Really going deep and putting it out there! I've never seen the show, yet enjoyed and grew from the interview. Going to have to check it out!!! PS, I'm a bit older than the protagonist, so take this as a flash forward: First class reunion I attended was 40th. I have classmates on TV, and successful in business, and One who was recruited from Pew Research by Pres. Biden, no sh...kidding! So framing was going to be important! My talking point: Some people had Careers; Some had Families; I Had Adventures! Without fail, the response: "I wish I'D had adventures!" STAY STRONG, Weirdos and Freaks! The Best Is Yet 2 Come!!!!!
