Danny McBride Talks ‘Righteous Gemstones’ Finale, Walton Goggins’ Big Moment & Convincing John Goodman To 69 On TV
Danny McBride spoke to Deadline about bidding farewell to 'The Righteous Gemstones' with his signature absurdist comedy and a rare dash of sincerity.
Following his breakout performances in his previous HBO creations Eastbound & Down(2009-’13) and Vice Principals(2016-’17), McBride debuted his epic comedy about a dysfunctional family of disgustingly rich televangelists in 2019. Jam-packed with his absurd self-aware humor, the finale deviates from the show’s usual slapstick raunch with a rare tender moment between Jesse and his equally crude siblings, Judy ( Edi Patterson) and Kelvin ( Adam DeVine). And when it comes to Eli at the end, in his dining room, reading the letter that Amy Lee (Jennifer Nettles) wrote, he is also taking advice from someone who’s no longer here to try to figure out what he should do next with his life.
