Next week, step into the Fatalistic Carnival as we bring our prolonged sixth season to an explosive close! Scott and Mackenzie are taking on one of Stephen Sondheim's most provocative and timely musicals, Assassins—and making the celebration even bigger is the long-awaited return of former cohost and now amazing guest, the Canadian Bea Arthur, Autumn Smith. Together, the trio wrestles with the show's central moral question: does Assassins ask us to sympathize with history's most infamous figures, or simply understand the forces that drove them to commit unthinkable acts? They also explore the ingenious ways Sondheim's score transforms familiar American musical styles into something deeply unsettling.
All this and "there's another national anthem, for those who never win; for the suckers, for the pikers, for the ones who might have been" on next Friday's all-new episode!
