Navigating Chemistry and Comedy on 'Too Much'

The breakout star of HBO Max’s Hacks, comedian Megan Stalter, is joined for conversation with Sarah Sherman about Too Much, the new series created by Lena Dunham.

When Megan Stalter burst onto the scene as the hilariously brash (and slightly deluded) assistant/talent agent Kayla in Hacks, critics and audiences immediately recognized her as a major new voice in comedy. Now, as the lead of Lena Dunham’s Too Much, she is poised to make an even bigger splash. Following a thirty-something workaholic who moves to London from New York to mend her broken heart after the dissolution of a long relationship, Too Much is an ex-pat romantic comedy par excellence, anchored by a star performance from Stalter.

Hear Stalter discuss her journey from internet comedy to Netflix, the new series, working with Lena Dunham, stories from the set, and more.
