The Most Famous (Fake) Mayor of Las Vegas

For our final episode of Mayoral Mondays, we’re bringing you a very special interview with someone who is quite possibly the most famous (unelected) mayor of Las Vegas: Actress Lauren Weedman plays Vegas Mayor Pezzimenti in HBO’s Emmy award winning show “Hacks.” She and co-host Dayvid Figler sit down to talk about how she gets into character, the surprising Disney connection in her shellacked hairdo, and how actors and politicians have a lot more in common than you might think.

PLUS! City Cast Las Vegas members get a special extended cut of this interview in their ad-free podcast feed. Not a member yet? Join the party!
