Filming set for The New York Times' news documentary The Weekly in an old courtroom downtown Manhattan December 2, 2019. This was an amazing courtroom. There were carved wood nooks with "In God We Trust" behind the bench, marble fireplaces, lots of big windows, and an upstairs gallery. I was invited by The New York Times to re-enact two sketches for
"The Gallagher Effect" (S1 E23) episode airing on FX and HULU.
