BWW Interview: David Fynn Chats UNDATEABLE & #15SecondShakespeare
Bad news comedy fans, after spending most of your Black Friday in a post-shopping, tryptophan-induced coma, you will not be able to share your evening with the hilarious cast of NBC's live sitcom UNDATEABLE. Preempted by the holiday favorite, the National Dog Show, the Black Eyes Bar crew will be back with an all-new live episode next Friday; well, actually two all-new episodes, since the UNDATEABLE gang performs each episode twice, once live for the East Coast, and again live for the West Coast. One of the joys of my Monday morning is watching both versions back-to-back on Hulu to see what jokes were added for the second broadcast.
BWW Spoiler Alert!: UNDATEABLE's LIVE Season Premiere LIVE Recap and Commentary
I've only watched one episode of NBC's Friday night sitcom UNDATEABLE, so I am not going to claim to be an expert on the deep, emotional lives of Danny, Justin, and the rest of their undateable friends. However, that one episode that I watched was an episode that was broadcast live last May. Yes the show was sucked me in with an obvious, attention-grabbing gimmick, but it was a gimmick that I found to be very interesting. Not only did the idea call back to the early days of television, where, by the constraints of technology, all shows had to be broadcast live, but it also opened up the door for legitimate comedic improv, that you can't see anywhere else on TV. Also, as someone who loves theatre as much as I love TV, this brought a new form of live entertainment into people's homes.
