Sarah Sherman on Good Hang with Amy Poehler

with SS Sarah Sherman

The Hang, in Short

Mitra Jouhari calls in from a Netflix office where the free hangers are broken and can't hold pants. She's here to prep Amy for Sarah Sherman, SNL cast member and the comedian formerly known as Sarah Squirm. Amy remembers when Sarah appeared butt naked on Mitra's show Three Busy Debras. They get into how Sarah's scatological body horror comedy makes her a "fun pervert" who invites the audience in with bits about her "flapping labia," then turns around and yells at them for liking it. Mitra, who toured with Sarah on the truly excellent Sarah Mitra and Jamie Are Ugly Tour, wants to know about Sarah's child musical theater career. Also her biggest bomb. The two recap COVID times when Amy's sons zoomed with Mitra about LA's unhoused situation, and Mitra lived with Patty Harrison making disgusting cocktails.
