Nor do I . It will be interesting to see if "Oh, Mary" continues to sell out after Cole leaves.

It takes less time to Google a name than it does to come here and write that you don't know who somebody is.

I even posted a recent talk show interview video. Geez.

She was great in Glow and Mrs. Davis

I googled her and I still don't know who she is.

Well just like how so many people didn’t know Cole before the show, people will hopefully come to know and love Betty.

Shes a simply phenomenal actress with an innate sense of humor and timing.

I have no idea if she will sell tickets (hard to imagine by this point people are still going to see Escola specifically), or even if shes right for this role, but seems like brilliant casting to me--heres hoping for a dip in ticket sales so I can cheaply revisit.

I’m trying to think who might be a good Abe to pair with her since Conrad is also leaving.

A few who come to mind (and I don’t want to hear “but They’Re nOT sTaRs”):

- Jonathan Christopher

- Jason Veasey

- Lea DeLaria (who could also be a funny Mary)

- Jim Parsons

- Andrew Rannells

- John Mulaney

Also, I secretly wish for Sydney James Harcourt to be Mary’s Teacher at some point because he could cause a gay flash flood in those Fiyero pants

She’s also, hands down, the best guest in Las Culturistas history. Give her episode a listen. She’s definitely a kook.

Just for confirmation, it would be completely doable for me to do this 3 day show in February

2:00pm-Redwood

5:00pm-Oh Mary with Betty

8:00-Gypsy

Not only is she a phenomenal, nuanced, deeply-felt and smart actor, she studied clowning extensively and seems like a true weirdo excited to make gonzo off-the-wall choices. It’s thrilling genius casting. 

The idea that anyone is disappointed that a true talent gets a shot at a star turn is so weird to me. Especially with Oh Mary! and Cole’s breakout performance in it.  How is a star born if star vehicles are only given to already bonafide stars?Being wary and unfamiliar? Sure. But being obstinate? Time for a nap grandmas, someone is getting grumpy!

Even the bratty curls look limp.
