UNCUT | Rachel Sennott Cried Every Day While Making “I Love LA”

About this episode

Rachel Sennott discusses her emotional journey while creating 'I Love LA' with host Kareem Rahma.

Actor, writer, and comedian Rachel Sennott (I Love LA, Bottoms) boards the New York City subway with Kareem Rahma for an unfiltered ride about making television, staying sane, and surviving your own brain. She talks about crying every day while making her new show “I Love LA,” the chaos of doing everything herself, and why no one warns you how emotional the process really is. She opens up about the shows that shaped her (Girls, Insecure, Sex and the City), why everyone needs one “cute little addiction,” and the spiral of phone addiction and screen time shame. Produced on the New York City subway.
