TRANSCRIPT Bullseye with Jesse Thorn: Bridget Everett talks “Somebody Somewhere”

Bridget Everett is a comedian and singer. She grew up in Manhattan, Kansas —the “Little Apple” of the Midwest. When the time for college came around, she moved to Arizona for school before landing in New York City. In the “Big Apple,” she started singing in clubs before eventually forming a comedy cabaret. These days, Bridget stars on Somebody Somewhere. It’s a semi-autobiographical comedy set in the same Manhattan, Kansas that Bridget grew up in. Interviewing Bridget Everett is correspondent Jordan Crucchiola. Jordan’s a writer who’s covered films for Vulture and Inverse. She’s also the host of the terrific Maximum Fun podcast Feeling Seen where guests dive deep into the first time they saw themselves represented on screen. This week on Bullseye, Jordan chats with Bridget Everett about the second season of Somebody Somewhere, her journey to acting, and how she’s found her footing on stage. Plus, the pair gets emotional about the platonic soulmates in their life.
