#172 - Rachel Dratch, Comedy Goddess

Our Season Finale guest is Rachel Dratch, a comedy LEGEND who was a cast member of Saturday Night Live from 1999-2006, during which she developed and performed such iconic characters as Debbie Downer, “The Love-ahs” with Will Ferrell, and the Boston teen Denise "Zazu" McDenna. (And she still pops up there from time to time to play Senator Amy Klobuchar.) She’s appeared in countless TV shows including The King of Queens, Frasier, 30 Rock, and Broad City, and in films including Down with Love, Wine Country, and A Clüsterfünke Christmas which she co-wrote with her co-star and fellow SNL alum Ana Gasteyer.

Rachel has starred in several Broadway shows, earning her two Tony nominations, the first for POTUS in 2022, and the second just this year in The Rocky Horror Show which she’s starring in now. She is also the author of the memoir Girl Walks into a Bar...: Comedy Calamities, Dating Disasters, and a Midlife Miracle, and she’s the host of the supernatural podcast, Woo Woo with Rachel Dratch.

On this episode, Rachel discusses the occult aspects of improv, the inspiration behind her most iconic sketch characters, and the importance of staying open to magic.

Pam also talks about bewitching comedy guru Del Close, and answers a listener question about forging one’s own eclectic spiritual path.
