Legendary sitcom director James Burrows shares his decades of memories from behind the camera of some of the most iconic shows ever on TV from The Mary Tyler Moore Show and Cheers to Friends and Will & Grace. Originally from the theatre world, he recognized early on that sitcoms are plays with cameras and you can’t teach comedy or chemistry. Actress Debra Messing chimes in to share what makes him so brilliant, and they both dish on the buffet of guest stars that played with them on Will & Grace - including one Ali Wentworth who got down and dirty as Dr. Superstein, Grace’s gynecologist, in 2019.

If you have questions or guest suggestions, Ali would love to hear from you. Call or text her at (323) 364-6356. Or email go-ask-ali-podcast-at-gmail.com. (No dashes)
