Watch THR’s Full, Uncensored Comedy Actor Roundtable With Kevin Bacon, Kumail Nanjiani and More

Six funny stars dish about knowing when (and why) to turn down a big paycheck, the benefits of being left in the dark creatively and what it’s like to get dissed by Zeffirelli (“Franco didn’t like your nose”) in The Hollywood Reporter’s Comedy Actor Roundtable.

Kevin Bacon (I Love Dick), Kumail Nanjiani (Silicon Valley), Anthony Anderson (Black-ish), Ted Danson (The Good Place), Brian Tyree Henry (Atlanta) and William H. Macy (Shameless) open up about their craft in a very candid conversation.

Viewers can watch the roundtable discussions every Sunday on SundanceTV as part of the cable channel’s original nonfiction series, Close Up With The Hollywood Reporter, produced in partnership with THR. Come back to THR.com on Mondays after the shows air for the full, uncensored discussion online.

The first of seven episodes — the Comedy Actor Roundtable — aired Sunday, June 25.
