Much Meg

Let’s spread a little more queer joy because goodness we deserve it. I’m tickled at the rise of Megan Stalter. Social media star turned “Hacks” star turned burgeoning superstar, her rise has been fun and funny to watch. I’ve loved the evolution of Kayla on “Hacks” to be more than just the constant annoyance. And it’s been Megan’s vulnerability that has helped make Kayla more than a punchline. So I’m thrilled to see her career take off with her own show as star of the new Netflix series “Too Much.” While I’m not entirely sold on Lena Dunham (yes, I watched “Girls,” but still), I do enjoy Megan’s energy. Also, I know she’s coming back to “Hacks” next season so I can cheer on her other endeavors without fear. I believe she is what the kids today call a real bisexual baddie. Also, I’m tickled by how in love she is with her girlfriend. And anyone willing to wear a sash that says “Best Gay Actor” wins in my book.

Silence your critics, squash those who mock you. First they came for the late-night talk show hosts, but actually late night talk-show hosts are like the 200,000th thing he’s come for after immigrants, political protestors, former prosecutors…
