What happens when we blend politics, journalism, and entertainment? In one sense, we get appearances like Sean Spicer at the Emmys this past weekend. We also see such blending at Geva's Summer Curtain Call, and the White House Correspondents' Dinner in years past.
But the Spicer appearance sparked some backlash amongst those who say it waves away the serious problem of lying for an administration; people who are more vulnerable aren't laughing at Spicer's star turn. So where is the line? Our guests:
- Mark Cuddy, artistic director of Geva Theatre Center
- David Andreatta, columnist for the Democrat & Chronicle
- Chris Thompson, comedian and activist
- Linda Starkweather, artist-at-large
