Bridget Everett on the Bittersweet Series Finale of ‘Somebody Somewhere’: ‘It’s Like You’ve Just Had the Best Sex of Your Life’
The star of HBO's autobiographical comedy 'Somebody Somewhere' discusses the show's bittersweet finale.
It’s less typical of Everett’s character, Sam, a withdrawn woman who’s spent three seasons processing the death of a beloved family member, finding community in her Kansas hometown and gradually coming out of her shell. When we meet at a restaurant in midtown Manhattan to discuss the show’s bittersweet, life-affirming final episodes, Everett wears a necklace bearing the acronym “GAAO,” short for “growth against all odds” — the guiding motto of this last season. Guided by creators Hannah Bos and Paul Thureen, who partnered with Everett to build a series around the star’s own experience losing her sister to cancer, “Somebody Somewhere” makes the biggest impact in its quietest moments.
