If bon mots were bonbons, Fran Lebowitz would be Willie Wonka. She has been dispensing witty observations for decades now, in her book The Fran Lebowitz Reader, as a frequent and reliably funny gue…

directed the Emmy-contending series, the second documentary he’s made that focused on Lebowitz, after the 2010 filmconsists of conversations between the two, as well as public speaking engagements Lebowitz made before Covid hit, moderated by the likes of Spike Lee, Alec Baldwin, and Olivia Wilde.

And so, for 10 years, Marty kept saying, “Let’s do this again.” And then at a certain point, he said, “Let’s do it as a series.” And so, finally I said yes. DEADLINE: I’m guessing, and maybe I’m wrong, but you must have a computer now. And I only say that because you’ve been obliged to do things on Zoom, like interviews, TV appearances and such.I don’t have a computer. No, the Zoom things that I’ve done for Netflix, I’ve done at Netflix. They have an office in New York, and then they have to send usually two people, who work all the computer stuff. So, no, I still don’t have one.

DEADLINE: One of the cool locations where you shot the series is the Queens Museum, which has this giant topographical map of the city of New York laid out on the floor. Why were you wearing booties during that?I’ll tell you why. You’re not, of course, allowed to walk on that. No one is. So I guess probably Emma Koskoff, the producer, probably had to talk them into it for weeks on end… I guess they finally convinced the museum to let me walk on it, and that’s what Marty wanted to do.

Out of these 20 candidates, is there a great candidate? Not as far as I’m concerned. There’s some ridiculous candidates, I will tell you that. Andrew Yang is an absurd candidate for mayor of New York. He couldn’t get on my condo board, okay? I mean, this is someone who knows nothing about anything and has accomplished absolutely nothing.

DEADLINE: There was a little bit of a flap recently, because he was asked about his favorite subway stop. And he said, “Times Square.”He knows nothing. First of all, any real New Yorker will tell you, there’s no such thing as a favorite subway stop. What could that possibly mean? Your favorite subway stop is one that you actually get to.
