Tituss Burgess is utterly hopeless when it comes to his “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” character Titus Andromedon — and he prefers it that way. Burgess dropped by TheWrap recently to discuss an array of topics, including what part of his character he wishes he got to explore more on the series. “I have no hopes for Titus. I am not a showrunner,” Burgess divulged. “I have no imagination in terms of the trajectory a character should take. I know my lane, and I stay in it. Tina and Robert are excellent at that, and they don’t need my help...

In a hotel room high above Midtown Manhattan, Ellie Kemper and Carol Kane are crooning the MaCoys' "Hang On Sloopy" across a table at one another, while Tituss Burgess looks on in delight. The impromptu performance broke out after the trio — who, along with Jane Krakowski, form the core of the Netflix comedy Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, which premieres its second season on April 15th — were asked what kind of band they'd be. The answer: clearly not the kind that fights offstage. All casts claim they love working together, but these three are next level.

Even with 30 Rock partners Tina Fey and Robert Carlock as creators, it's hard to imagine Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt being the least bit funny without Ellie Kemper in the title role. The show's backstory — Kimmy was abducted in middle school and held prisoner for years by a doomsday cult leader (Jon Hamm) before escaping and moving to New York to get a clean break from the trauma — is so dark, and so at odds with Fey and Carlock's silly brand of humor, that it wouldn't work at all if not for Kemper's enormous reserves of warmth and joy. When Kimmy flashes that cartoonish, kilometer-wide smile, you understand how she got through her ordeal, and you have permission to move on from thinking about everything that happened down in the bunker. I'll have a review of the new season, which debuts Friday on Netflix, later in the week. On my final day...
