We Like Ike
Ike Barinholtz is giving his all as The Studio’s sad clown.
In this series’ fifth episode, “The War,” we see Sal go up against Chase Sui Wonders’s Quinn over who should direct Continental’s Smile rip-off, Wink, the ensuing drama (and comedy) granting Barinholtz one of his finest half-hours across his decades of work on screens big and small. But The Studio isn’t keen to be weighed down by overwrought discussion of how Hollywood can improve when instead it can go full sitcom high jinks, with Sal and Quinn’s feud escalating into a full-blown prank war. Barinholtz’s wild swings as Sal ought to be no surprise to those who may have followed him since he broke big on Mad TV in 2002 or from his several seasons of The Mindy Project as chaotic nurse and ex-con Morgan Tookers.
