On a recent episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, writer, producer, and actress Sharon Horgan joined as a guest. Known for her work on shows like “Pulling” and “Catastrophe,” Horgan discussed her latest project, “Bad Sisters.” The talk show audience was delighted by her witty banter and funny anecdotes.
Colbert began the conversation by congratulating Horgan on the premiere of the second season of “Bad Sisters.” The show’s first season was well-received, earning Horgan several awards, including a Peabody Award. Horgan expressed her gratitude for the show’s dedicated audience and the challenge of maintaining its success in the second season.
As the conversation delved into Horgan’s involvement in the show, she revealed that she not only stars in it but also writes and executive produces. Colbert jokingly commented that Horgan couldn’t possibly be an actress because she’s “too ugly to be a leading actress.” Horgan playfully disagreed and explained that she started writing her own material when she faced difficulty getting cast in her early career.
The discussion shifted to the pressure of writing the second season of a successful show. Horgan admitted that it can be daunting, as she feels responsible for delivering a story that matches or exceeds the expectations of the audience. Ultimately, she believes that writing should be driven by the story rather than an attempt to please the audience.
Colbert then brought up a new character introduced in the second season of “Bad Sisters” called “The Wagon.” Curious about the term, Colbert asked for clarification on its meaning. Horgan explained that in Ireland, “The Wagon” is slang for a woman, similar to calling someone a “bad girl.” This led to a humorous exchange where Horgan shared other Irish slang words, including a discussion about a certain female anatomy part.
As the interview came to a close, Colbert expressed his admiration for “Bad Sisters” and revealed that he is currently watching the first season. Horgan shared a clip from the second season without giving away any major spoilers. The audience was teased with a suspenseful scene featuring the sisters staking out a house.
Overall, Sharon Horgan‘s appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert was filled with humor, insights into her writing process, and a glimpse into the exciting second season of “Bad Sisters.” Fans of the show can catch new episodes on Wednesdays on Apple TV plus.
