Article Summary

  • Valerie faces chaos when an AI scriptwriting tool goes hilariously off the rails in episode 4.
  • The Comeback Season 3 highlights Hollywood's reliance on technology and its pitfalls.
  • Lisa Kudrow and Michael Patrick King deliver laughs and drama as Valerie scrambles to save the show.
  • The official HBO podcast dives deep into each episode's behind-the-scenes moments and storylines.

Here's the thing about using AI to help you write the project that you're hoping will get picked up to series by the networks or a streaming service. The pilot script could prove to be sitcom magic – and then the script for the second episode reads like the ramblings of a serial killer. That's the situation that Valerie (Lisa Kudrow) is facing heading into tonight's episode of HBO and Michael Patrick King (And Just Like That…) & Kudrow's The Comeback, S03E04: "Valerie Does It All." After checking out the official overview, preview, and image gallery, make sure to stick around for the latest episode of the official podcast. This week, Kudrow and King do a deep dive into "Valerie Faces Reality," including a look at Valerie's emotional moments (some of which are also hilarious) during the episode and more.
