Description

“Elsbeth” star Carrie Preston joins the show. Over a swordfish melt, Carrie reflects on building a career defined by versatility — from her Emmy-winning turn as Elsbeth Tascioni in “The Good Wife" and “The Good Fight” to her starring role in the hit CBS spinoff “Elsbeth.” She gives me the backstory of Elsbeth’s iconic display of handbags, and discuss working with Julia Roberts – twice. Plus, we get into her marriage to fellow actor Michael Emerson (Ben in “Lost”), and what Alan Ball told her “True Blood” is actually about. This episode was recorded at San Sabino in the West Village.
