... freakin’ hilarious and talented. Let’s talk about that.'". "I think that will happen for me, but right now I think it’s so important that we’re having those conversations because when you’re knowledgeable about something the fear goes away and so many people are afraid of fat people," she added.

It feels like a real love letter to Memphis and a real love letter to William and his story," the show's creator, Dan Fogelman, told Entertainment Weekly. “They’re actually in Memphis and eating Memphis barbecue and going to Memphis clubs and hotels.
