Introducing Robby Hoffman: Emmy Winner, Spec Script Courier, Gay Icon Adjacent
At 6:25 · chapter starts 3:45
Sean Hayes's introduction of Robby Hoffman is a masterclass in raising anticipation: she's the 7th of 10 kids from a Hasidic Montreal household, she studied accounting, did stand-up in college, once posed as a courier to hand-deliver a spec script to the president of HBO Canada, won an Emmy for writing, and had John Mulaney call her one of the funniest people alive before directing her Netflix special. The moment Robby appears, the chemistry is immediate. She teases Will Arnett for his film Switch, tells Sean Hayes that Jennifer Aniston is specifically a lesbian icon thanks to wearing a belt in the 1990s, and then levels Jason Bateman with the news that his website was once a gay porn hub — which Jason admits he found briefly flattering. The tone is set: Robby is quick, brutal, and warm in equal measure.
