This week, in what might be the funniest episode yet, Molly and Emese are joined by co-stars Amy Schumer and Brianne Howey. They get candid about motherhood, career evolution, and their new film, Kinda Pregnant —which unexpectedly led to Amy’s latest health discovery. Amy opens up about how public criticism led her to uncover her Cushing syndrome diagnosis, what it’s like to navigate comedy and Hollywood as a mom, and the importance of sharing birth stories without shame. Brianne shares how becoming a mother has shifted her perspective on work, how Ginny & Georgia ’s Georgia Miller compares to real-life parenting, and the power of female friendships in the industry. We also go behind the scenes of their new Netflix film, Kinda Pregnant —how Molly first got the script, why Amy and Brianne were drawn to the project, and what it means for women today. Plus, they reflect on their early career struggles, the moment they knew they “made it,” and how motherhood has reshaped their ambitions. From career highs to personal challenges, this episode is raw, funny, and packed with insights.

ST. DENIS MEDICAL — Pictured: David Alan Grier as Dr. Ron — (Photo by: Ron Batzdorff/NBC) 2024 NBCUniversal Media, LLC

St. Denis Medical shares some of its DNA with shows like The Office and Abbott Elementary, mockumentary-style single-camera shows portraying the goings-on at somewhat skewed workplaces. With his background in sketch comedy, David Alan Grier was certainly an inspired choice to star as one of the fictional hospital’s emergency room physicians. And he spoke about how he’s a big fan of the mockumentary format, especially since today’s TV audiences have grown up with “reality” shows that took themselves way too seriously. (Click on the media bar below to hear David Alan Grier.)

St. Denis Medical airs Wednesdays at 8/7c on NBC, and episodes start streaming the following day on Peacock.
