Navigating Comedy: Gender, Challenges, and Change

Happy Gilmore is all about Happy who breaks the mold by changing the rules of golf and life. 30 years later, Adam Sandler is back with Happy Gilmore 2, starring some familiar faces from the original plus new cast additions but filled with star studded pop ups through out, never knowing who's going to be in one scene to the next with a storyline that really shakes things up!

In the same spirit, our special episode of The Pivot in partnership with Netflix, is celebrating “disruptors” who much like Happy Gilmore, have made a tremendous impact in culture, sports and comedy. Filming in front of a live audience from our Happy Place at Top Golf, this episode is full of laughs, insights and unique life experiences.

Sitting with comic legends Lavell Crawford and Kym Whitley, we are treated to an unfiltered conversation of not just making it in show business but staying there. We get inside scoop of what it's truly like being on set with Adam Sandler, pressure of working with a high profile cast, challenges of being a disruptor, pushback received and how to make it in a high-stakes world designed for failure.

There is no shortage of banter between Channing and Lavell, as Ryan tries to keep it all flowing smoothly and Kym clings onto Fred's calming demeanor. Happy Gilmore 2 premieres on Netflix Friday July 25th and is truly a movie you don't want to miss with a firery cast of celebs, athletes and entertainers who complete part 2 of this story 30 years in the making!
