In 2005, the HBO series The Comeback was ahead of its time, but now it's being given a second chance! Executive producers Lisa Kudrow and Dan Bucatinsky stopped by Et to talk about the reboot.
News: Lisa Kudrow on the Triumphant Return of The Comeback
The original series followed washed up TV sitcom actress Valerie Cherish (Kudrow) and her attempt to revive her career by starring in her own reality show. The reboot picks up nine years after Valerie's misadventures in season one.

When they did say my name, it's the most unreal feeling I've ever acutely had in my life. It had a feeling of levity or otherness about it."
