In the two years since they teamed up for their “artistic walkabout” — with company president Danielle Renfrew Behrens at the helm — Rudolph and Lyonne have learned a lot about the business and what their considerable capital as entertainers can create.
“I’ve always hoped for a day when you change the channel and there’s a Sarah Cooper. And that day came in weirdest, darkest time. But it’s also really apropos of what we’re experiencing. It’s about people taking matters into their own hands,” Rudolph says. “I don’t think she had any idea what this was going to grow into.
As election day nears, she’s relishing the opportunity to continue playing Harris on “Saturday Night Live.” “Being part of the political time on that show is something really special that I certainly never experienced before. And it’s magical, because the world is watching. Or at least, this country.”
Conversely, though ‘Everything’s Fine’ parodies the current political climate, there was less pressure to speak to every breaking news moment. In fact, Lyonne points out that Trump’s name is never mentioned because the special isn’t about him . Instead, it’s a wider take on all that’s happened — and is still happening — this year. According to Lyonne, the key to the political puzzle was focusing the project on “the soul of the thing, the ‘Big Brother’ aspect” of doom-scrolling through 2020.
