Through every phase, grief is one thing: complex. It’s something that so many people deal with throughout the world but the wag that they choose to go about it often differs. In her newest Peacock special, comedian Alyssa Limperis hi-lights this by taking viewers on her journey of loss following her beloved Dad’s death from Cancer. She talks about not knowing what he should do with his remaining time and how she struggled with the idea of living without him. The special goes to remind it’s viewers that there is good in every single day, and, like the title, there really are no bad days. It’s so wonderfully honest and relatable, Alyssa creates a world within her comedy that makes her feel like someone you’ve known for years. Her special is heartwarming and hilarious, and brings a comforting wave to anyone who may be struggling with these emotions. She reminds audiences to slow down and focus on the smaller things, and the special itself truly brings about a new meaning to the phrase laughter is the best medicine. We had the brilliant opportunity to sit down with Alyssa and talk all about the special, her advice for viewers, and so much more. Check out our full conversation below!

Two years have passed, but tonight we are finally getting a new season of HBO’s Industry. The show, created and written by Mickey Down and Konrad Kay, followed a group of young graduates as they vied for a spot at a prestigious bank in London, Pierpont. Much like its sister show, Succession, Industry deals with business, sex, money, drugs, and everything that comes with the territory at working at a major company. This season, the show has expanded to include a new cast of characters, to join our main cast, who are no longer graduates, but full-time employees at Pierpoint. We meet Celeste (Katrine de Candole) one of the show’s few female execs who takes a liking to Yasmin, Venetia (Indy Lewis) a new graduate at Pierpoint not afraid to challenge the status quo, and Danny aka DVD (Alex Akpobome), an employee from the New York office here to make changes at Pierpoint London, although no one really understands his true intentions.
I got the opportunity to speak with newcomers Katrine, Indy, and Alex, as well as creators Mickey Down and Konrad Kay, and writing executive producer Jami O’Brien ahead of the premiere and they gave me the dish on how these new characters are shaking things up, what it was like to join the cast this season, what to make of the dynamic between Harper and Eric, and what it means to earn your spot versus being given it.
