The Television Academy on Thursday announced that acclaimed writer, comedian, actor and podcaster Julie Klausner will join The Hollywood Reporter‘s Seth Abramovitch for a special live edition of the acclaimed, long-running podcast It Happened in Hollywood.
The taping will take place Friday, Aug. 14, from 2:15 to 3:15 p.m. PT during Televerse, the Television Academy’s three-day celebration of television, at the JW Marriott at L.A. LIVE in Los Angeles.
“Move over, Madonna summer,” says Abramovitch. “This is the dawning of the Age of Julie Klausner.”
Adds Klausner, “Finally, a chance to talk about my career to somebody besides a therapist.”
Klausner will revisit the making and enduring legacy of Difficult People, the acclaimed Hulu comedy she created and starred in alongside Billy Eichner. Premiering in August 2015, the series ran for three seasons and earned a devoted following for its gleefully acerbic take on show business and unforgettable lineup of guest stars, including Cole Escola in one of the Oh, Mary! mastermind’s earliest television roles.
