‘Poker Face’: Simon Helberg on Singing Sondheim With John Mulaney and ‘Getting Into the S—‘ During Big Shootout Scene


Simon Helberg breaks down singing Sondheim tunes with John Mulaney and filming the big shootout scene in "Poker Face" Season 2, Episode 3.

FBI agent Luca Clark ( Simon Helberg) returned for more action in Episode 3 of “Poker Face,” which is in the midst of a second season boasting more murders, more Charlie ( Natasha Lyonne) investigations and more guest stars — including stand-up comedian John Mulaney. “It’s exciting to see how he fumbles up the ladder, starting from driving around geriatric retired ex-cons in witness protection, all the way to cracking these really significant cases for the FBI and getting into the shit,” Helberg tells Variety. Below, Helberg breaks down singing Stephen Sondheim tunes with Mulaney, why he thinks Luca would try to emulate “Twin Peaks'” Dale Cooper and the “fever dream” of returning to the Warner Bros lot to film the Season 3 finale of “Night Court,” which was recently canceled at NBC.
