Actors Henry Hall and Daniel Thrasher looked back at their favorite moments from working on the show Dinner with the Parents.
Dinner with the Parents is a new sitcom that follows the two twenty-something Langer brothers (Hall and Thrasher) who attend weekly dinners at their parents’ house; each gathering is sure to be chaotic and disastrous by nature.
Hall, the son of Brad Hall and Julia Louis-Dreyfus, overviewed his role in the show for uInterview founder Erik Meers, “I play David Langer, the eldest of the Langer siblings, and every Friday night I come home for… Shabbat dinner with my ‘lovely’ family, and I walk in the front door hoping that everything is going to be normal; I’ll be asked how I’m doing, I’ll ask how they’re doing, and we’ll sit down and have an orderly and nice dinner.

Actors Michaela Watkins and Dan Bakkedahl reminisce about the filming of their new show Dinner with the Parents in their new uInterview.
Dinner with the Parents follows the escapades of two Langer brothers in their twenties who regularly attend dinner at their parents’ house – the family gathers every week for dinner, only to find themselves filled with remorse afterward. The show amusingly portrays their weekly family gatherings’ chaotic and disastrous nature.
“Dan makes me spit-take, genuinely,” Watkins told uInterview founder Erik Meers. “I just don’t see it coming, and he knocks me sideways with comedy. I mean, I laugh a lot. I was watching the episodes, and I was going, ‘Okay, it’s not just me.’ My husband and I were just cracking up.”
She told Bakkedahl, “I remember the episodes where you had the hot wings, and you’re not feeling well and sweating, and you’re about to throw up.

American TV bosses obviously didn’t learn many lessons from “Episodes,” the Showtime/BBC co-production which brilliantly skewered the habit of adapting British sitcoms, and removing all nuances, subtleties, and idiosyncrasies in the process. In the 13 years since its premiere, there’s been numerous failed pilots (“Spy”), ratings disasters (“Free Agents”), and entire series considered unfit for public consumption (“Us and Them”) which originated across the pond. Now the most singular UK comedy of the 2010s is going transatlantic.
The BAFTA-nominated “Friday Night Dinner” — which served up 37 episodes from 2011-2020 —stemmed from creator Robert Popper’s real-life secular Jewish family and their weekly Shabbat meals, explaining why everything from its suburban London home to its lovable oddballs feels so wonderfully specific. Disappointingly, Amazon Freevee’s “Dinner with the Parents” is as generic as its title.
The 10-part series on Freevee does attempt to retain some of the original’s quirks.

Almost everyone knows what it’s like, the concept of Dinner with the Parents, but Amazon Freevee is taking the idea and raising it a few notches for this chaotically hilarious new comedy arriving April 18. In an exclusive first look at the series, the trailer, above, offers a glimpse into the Friday night gatherings of the closely-knit Langer family made up of mom Jane (Michaela Watkins), dad Harvey (Dan Bakkedahl), nana Rose (Carol Kane), and sons David (Henry Hall) and Gregg (Daniel Thrasher). “This show is so much fun to make because we get to push the limits of what a family comedy can be — how flawed the characters, how fast the pace, how far things escalate,” series showrunner and executive producer Jon Beckerman tells TV Insider. “We’re hoping that, when people watch it, they’ll think, ‘This family is bonkers. But I wish it was mine.'” As...

The Mythical Creator Accelerator has announced the third YouTube channel that will benefit from its investment dollars. The $5 million fund established by Rhett and Link‘s Mythical brand is backing The Sorry Girls, an enduring DIY hub founded by Kelsey MacDermaid and Becky Wright more than a decade ago.
In a press release, Mythical describes its creator support as a “multi-stage” investment that will help MacDermaid, Wright, and their colleagues establish new aspects of their shared business. The Creator Accelerator backs videomakers who have devoted followings, expanding operations, and “promise for thoughtful extensions into Dtc real-world products,” per the release.
The Sorry Girls certainly fit that bill. MacDermaid and Wright’s main YouTube hub reaches more than two million YouTube subscribers and has amassed more than 350 million lifetime views since 2010. The DIY duo have built on their shared success by launching charitable initiatives and expanding the size of their team.

Last year, YouTube stars Rhett McLaughlin and Link Neal -- known collectively as Rhett & Link -- announced the Mythical Accelerator fund, which will invest in individual digital-native influencers. As it launched the Accelerator, McLaughlin and Neal's Mythical Entertainment revealed comedian Jarvis Johnson as the first recipient of its investment dollars.
Now, Johnson has company. The second creator staked by the Mythical Accelerator is Daniel Thrasher, a musician whose witty videos have brought three million subscribers to his YouTube channel.
The video that put Thrasher on the map is still the third-most watched clip on his YouTube channel, even though it came out 10 years ago. In 2012, to celebrate the arrival of his new piano, then-19-year-old Thrasher "accidentally" composed the theme song to the hit TV show The Office. He uploaded a video about it and it's received more than 21 million views since then.
