Chapter 1: What new projects is Hannah Pilkes currently involved in?

0.031 - 28.234 Unknown

Well, in a recent Cosmopolitan article, 20-something women have confirmed that being a nun actually is freaking awesome. One nun said she was attracted to the nunnery because she was fed up with flatmates. Another said she sees her life as balanced for the first time, saying she regularly gets to read, play guitar, and sleep. That sounds incredible. Literally, who needs sex?

28.996 - 44.76 Unknown

Panelists, being a nun could be the answer to all of our problems, so tell me what other inconveniences you could solve by becoming a nun. Rachel. Listen, I became a nun because all I want to do is talk to God and kiss a bunch of girls. That's it. Hannah.

45.08 - 50.829 Hannah Pilkes

I became a nun because as a white woman, the only way that I should be using the term sister is if I'm a nun.

On this episode of The Commercial Break.

59.433 - 77.528 Hannah Pilkes

As a kid, I had the, first of all, very supportive parents that were like, you can do whatever you want, which I don't think is always the case with artists. But I also think knowing that it was, it had happened for people and they were right in front of me was encouraging and perhaps led to a lifetime of delusion.

Chapter 2: How does Hannah Pilkes describe her experience with improv comedy?

77.548 - 93.172 Hannah Pilkes

But I do think you have to be like, you have to be so delusional to stick around doing this. I mean, why? Eating, you know, making a can of garbanzo beans stretch when you don't have rent and you're 24. But your nourishment is improv.

Oh yeah, cats and kittens, welcome back to the commercial break. I'm Brian Crane, this is my dear friend and the co-host of this show, Kristen Joy Holden. Best to you, Kristen. Best to you, Brian. And best to you out there in the podcast universe. And thanks for joining us on a TCB Infomercial Tuesday as we interview Hannah Bilkus. Hannah is on one of the hot, trending sitcoms right now.

124.737 - 136.519 Bryan Green

There you go. Leanna available on Netflix, all 16 episodes currently today. And we'll also talk to her about her upcoming variety show at the Elysian in L.A.

Chapter 3: What insights does Hannah share about the entertainment industry?

137.602 - 146.779 Bryan Green

Hannah has been a notable content creator since long ago, since since eons ago when Vine was a thing. Who did buy Vine?

0

147.147 - 150.152 Krissy Hoadley

Yeah. Was it Facebook? I think I thought that it was.

0

150.632 - 156.181 Bryan Green

Or was it Instagram and then Instagram got bought by Facebook? I can't remember. Somebody squashed it. Yeah, somebody squashed it.

0

156.201 - 156.501 Unknown

Yeah.

0

156.521 - 166.036 Bryan Green

Somebody killed it. It was around for a couple of months after they got bought. But can you imagine being the creators of Vine? You get like a $300 million payday and then they just kill it. It's just done.

Chapter 4: What are Hannah's thoughts on Burning Man and its culture?

166.076 - 185.108 Bryan Green

It's gone. I mean, I don't know. Twitter. Twitter about Vine. There you go. So Twitter about Vine. She is a creator from the days of Vine. And we've had on quite a few people. Yeah, we have. Who started on Vine. Noel Miller. Morgan. Who's that? The guy who does the music. Morgan.

Chapter 5: How did Hannah Pilkes land her role in 'Leanne'?

185.148 - 207.139 Bryan Green

I can't remember his name. Anyway, he was. Anyway. Chelsea Lynn. Chelsea Lynn was on Vine. A lot of creators. So we'll have an opportunity to talk to her about that. She has spent a lifetime in comedy and movies. And I'm excited to talk to her. Yeah, sure. This is one. Transparent as I can be.

0

207.199 - 220.882 Bryan Green

This is one where, you know, I don't know her as well as I know other comedians who have been on the show. So and actresses and actors. So I'm super excited just to have a friendly chitter chatter about what is going on.

Chapter 6: What challenges did Hannah face as a child actor?

220.902 - 224.809 Bryan Green

Maybe we'll ask her whether or not she's vaccinated and then we'll go from there.

0

225.532 - 227.815 Krissy Hoadley

That is a good way to weed people out, I guess.

0

227.855 - 252.545 Bryan Green

Yeah, are you vaccinated? Even via the teleportation known as telepodcasting, we must know whether or not you're vaccinated. As we are recording this, we are watching some of the playback of RFK in front of Congress, and it's just in... I mean, like we've... I don't know. What else can I say? There's not too many more words you can use except for insane. That's the only way to put it.

0

252.565 - 269.302 Bryan Green

But hopefully... I mean, this is one place where I just hope that there's like cooler heads prevail and we get back to science. I really do. But anyway, that has nothing to do with Hannah. Hannah is here. And I'm going to put all of her links in the show notes. You said you watched some of Leigh-Anne.

0

Chapter 7: What impact did Vine have on Hannah's career?

269.382 - 286.26 Krissy Hoadley

I did watch some of it. It's really good. You know, and it was nice and familiar kind of to see the sitcom format again. So I think I'm four in so far with Leigh-Anne. And it's light. It's funny. And yeah. It's a great show. I recommend it.

0

286.28 - 298.613 Bryan Green

Yeah. So Leanne Morgan is who is the writer of this show, the person that is named Leanne. If I'm not mistaken, if I'm not mistaken, Leanne may be coming on the show.

0

299.194 - 299.534 Unknown

Fantastic.

0

299.555 - 303.419 Bryan Green

I believe she may be coming on the show. But she probably isn't now that I said it out loud.

0

Chapter 8: What advice does Hannah give to aspiring comedians?

303.459 - 318.885 Bryan Green

I'm probably wrong. And now that she has a hit show. Yeah. Now that she has a hit show, unlikely she's going to come on. I've said, you're on your way up or you're on your way down. We'll see which one it is. But I believe there was some conversation about having Leanne on the show. I don't know if that's been booked yet or not.

0

318.905 - 332.39 Bryan Green

But I'm very excited because Leanne's been around for a very long time. And all of the sudden, she's like on fucking fire. Everywhere I turn on social media, there's another real post video about Leigh-Anne.

0

332.55 - 354.588 Bryan Green

And so, you know, Hannah has really kind of struck gold because the producer, the executive producer showrunner of this is Chuck Lorre, who, of course, did Two and a Half Men, Anger Management. Let the list go on and fucking on and fucking on. The guy's like a multi-billionaire at this point. Did he do... Did he do? I want to make sure I get this right. I was about to say, don't guess.

0

354.608 - 375.537 Bryan Green

Yeah, Chrissy's like, Brian, don't even say it. Don't even say it, because then it's going to be wrong, and we're going to get a bunch of people. He did, and I was going to say it, and I would have been right. Big Bang Theory. He did Big Bang Theory. Okay, that's huge. Young Sheldon, Dharma and Greg, The Kaminsky Method, Bookie, which I think was also on Netflix.

0

375.517 - 377.399 Krissy Hoadley

No, I think Bucky's on HBO.

377.499 - 380.241 Bryan Green

Oh, is it on HBO? Oh, yep. You're right. It's on HBO. Did you watch it?

380.622 - 381.182 Krissy Hoadley

I did watch it.

381.923 - 396.936 Bryan Green

Did you like it? That's good. That's got Sebastian Maniscalco in it, doesn't it? Okay. Who also, I think, was supposed to come on the show at one point, but we now know that'll never happen as the most important touring comic out there today. He's big. Yeah, maybe with the... Well, anyway, whatever.

397.377 - 404.663 Bryan Green

Hannah is on a show with a bunch of stars, and I am sure that this is very exciting news for her, and it's very exciting news
