Watch The Super Intriguing Lizzo, Padma Lakshmi, Will Arnett & More On A Fresh Episode Of THR’s Roundtable.
“The level of talent (and comic timing) at The Hollywood Reporter‘s Reality Emmy Roundtable was in no short supply, but there was still a moment of giddy reverence when one particular participant entered the chat. Will Arnett (Fox’s Lego Masters), Nicole Byer (Netflix’s Nailed It! and ABC’s Wipeout), Padma Lakshmi (Hulu’s Taste the Nation and Bravo’s Top Chef) and Jonathan Van Ness (Netflix’s Getting Curious and Queer Eye)
Each appeared to adjust their posture a bit when Lizzo, creator and host of Watch Out for the Big Grrrls, first appeared on the early May Zoom.
The unwieldy TV genre that brought the fivesome together led to an equally broad conversation that vacillated between light — “under-titty sweat” is an issue that affects many — and deeply serious, as it did when Lakshmi and Van Ness debated the pros and cons of filming in states rolling back rights for women and trans people.
The Lizzo adoration, however, proved consistent throughout — and mutual. The pop star stopped everyone for just a moment, holding her phone to the screen before they signed off: “I’m doing a selfie, everyone smile!”” – Hollywoodreporter.com
