#176: Lennon Parham - Trust & Go

Lennon Parham is an actor, comedian, writer & producer. She
can be seen opposite Ophelia Lovibond and Jake Johnson in the
HBOMax comedy MINX, about the fictional creation of the first
erotic magazine for women in 1970s LA.  Prior to that, she
was a series regular in the ABC sitcom BLESS THIS MESS.
Previously, she co-created and starred in her own show, PLAYING
HOUSE and has recurred as Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ hilarious Senior
Advisor, “Karen Collins” whose specialized field was “common
sense” on HBO’s VEEP. 


She can also be seen rocking shoulder pads as Liz Flemming, the
feminist math teacher at William Penn Academy on SCHOOLED, the
90’s spin-off of THE GOLDBERGS also on ABC. Additionally, Lennon
has made a number of memorable appearances on
television including HBO’s CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM, DOCUMENTARY NOW,
GHOSTED, REVIEW WITH FOREST MCNEIL, LADY DYNAMITE, MAD MEN and
PARKS AND RECREATION. 


If you listen closely, you can hear her dulcet tones giving voice
to characters on animated shows like BOB'S BURGERS, LITTLE BIG
AWESOME, ANIMALS and ADVENTURE TIME, as well as the
cult-fave podcast WOMP IT UP!  


On the feature side, she also had flashy supporting roles in THE
HOUSE, HORRIBLE BOSSES 2, CONFESSIONS OF A SHOPAHOLIC and OTHER
PEOPLE. Most recently, Lennon directed two episodes on the
second season of BLESS THIS MESS. She has also directed an
episode of PLAYING HOUSE.  


She is a proud alumnus of the improv and sketch theater, the
Upright Citizens Brigade, and performs there whenever she
can. 


As you can imagine we dive deep and cover a lot - such as red
carpet nightmares, being an improv guru, being a teacher, fear,
not getting into SNL, creating a one woman show, coaching, and
shows that get cancelled all in a playful and funny manner!


So sit back, relax and enjoy today's empowering chat.
