My Actor's Grind Podcast
Matty Blake and Kieran Kaye invited me to talk into a microphone about women in comedy and the acting biz on their great podcast The Actor’s Grind.
My hands are sweating listening to it FYI. <3

Since You Didn’t Ask…
Remember when Jerry Seinfeld was dubbed “The Voice of His Generation” when he created Seinfeld?
Wait, no.
I’m think I’m thinking of Louis CK.
No.
Larry David? Tim Allen? Shit. Wait. Which one was it?
Oh that’s right…it was none of them.
So why are we so insistent on begrudgingly dubbing Lena Dunham the voice of her generation and then immediately shitting all over her title and her work?
I watched the first three episodes of Girls and I related to a lot of it. Why is that significant? Because I have absolutely NOTHING in common with her or anyone else on that show. I grew up in, among 15 other places, a trailer park—a far cry from fancy-pants NYC. And I have had little to no help from the folks. I am a DIY, self-made woman, so I really should be the first person to bemoan this young woman getting her own show on HBO. Also significant? I have no show in HBO.
But guess what? I’m not. I related to so much of the show and am a good (almost) 10 years older than her. Girls is just good writing. It’s a unique point of view and she just happens to be a woman. Get the fuck off her back already and stop making her “speak” for an entire generation of ladies.
And the nepotism poster infuriates me even further. As if nepotism has never run rampant in Hollywood! Just off the top of my head, I didn’t hear shit about Abby Elliot getting SNL. Perhaps if three of her father’s best friend’s kids had as well we would have recognized it as nepotism. But the girls are great in Girls and I imagine Lena is one of those people who likes to work with friends. What a jerk.
And listen, I get that she’s only 25, but I tend to think this is more a product of Hollywood needing to capitalize on “This funny women trend!” more than anything else. Who knows. Just speculation, but maybe it would have taken her longer had it not been so hot to have a funny vagina right now.
Maybe you haters should GET OVER IT and start working on your own shit, and try creating your own opportunities. Not every person who’s made it has done so because of mom and dad. I’m living proof that when you do “make it” (whatever that means to you—to me it means supporting myself doing what I love) on your own, it tastes that much sweeter.
On behalf of women 25-40,
Glennis McCarthy

Here’s something fun.: I’ll be singing “We Are Young” with Chris “Shockwave” Sullivan on Our Hit Parade. Fun! It’s my first time doing this show I’ve been salivating over for years so I’m bringing in some sequinforcements to really blow it out. Hope you can make it.
