It’s about damn time Julie Klausner got her own show. Since 2011, the writer, comedian, and cocreator/costar of the new Hulu sitcom Difficult People has—among other things—hosted the very funny podcast How Was Your Week, an interview show that always begins with a meandering account of what Klausner read, watched, or thought about that week, from beagles to Andrew McCarthy to the virtues of pasta topped with cottage cheese. She doesn’t necessarily attempt to relate to an audience’s shared experience of the world—she just invites the audience to listen as she shares hers.
In the second episode, Julie obsesses over meeting up with and being desired by a guy who ignored her in grade school even though she has a nice live-in boyfriend named Arthur (James Urbaniak). She tries to talk Arthur into a threesome by way of explaining that they’ll never have a “sexist” three-way (two women, one man) because she believes in her heart that “men have enough privileges as it is.”
