Julianna Margulies
Moderator: Pat Mitchell, President/CEO, The Paley Center for Media
As attorney Alicia Florrick, on the acclaimed CBS drama The Good Wife, Julianna Margulies has created one of television's most complex and fascinating characters, a woman rising above Scandal to restart her personal and professional life. Margulies's performance has brought her a second Emmy, the first coming for her breakthrough role as head nurse Carol Hathaway on the classic medical series ER. Keeping equally busy in film and onstage, her versatility has also reached behind the scenes, taking on the task of producing The Good Wife as well. Margulies will talk about her work on the series and her career as one of the top actresses in the medium.

Cocreator, costar, and cowriter of IFC's critically acclaimed Portlandia and longtime cast member of Saturday Night Live, Fred Armisen is known for his many endearing characters and spot-on impressions, from politicians and rock stars to angry feminist bookstore owners and dumpster divers-a talent that comedy icon Bob Odenkirk acknowledged by referencing Armisen as "the most like Peter Sellers of anyone I've known" ("except he's a nice guy"). Join us for a one-on-one conversation between Armisen and Portlandiacocreator/cowriter/director Jonathan Krisel, which is sure to provide some hilarious insights into one of sketch comedy's brightest stars.

Tina Fey
Robert Carlock
Colleen McGuinness
Josh Siegal
Dylan Morgan
Moderator: Emily Nussbaum, Television Critic, The New Yorker

The Paley Center for Media welcomes the writing staff of 30 Rock-including head writers Tina Fey and Robert Carlock-to discuss the mechanics of crafting the bracingly satirical, breakneck comedy of the beloved series, now in its valedictory season. Possible topics include the challenges of balancing antic, absurdist material with the affecting emotional underpinnings of the characters' relationships, the truth about the immortal page Kenneth, and whether NBC plans to actually produce MILF Island or allow it to remain a beautiful, impossible dream.
