"Ballers" Star Rob Corddry Revealed What Elizabeth Warren Told Him About Her Love For The Show
https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/davidmack/ballers-rob-corddry-elizabeth-warren-rockFun article! So much for the "hectoring schoolmarm" meme! EW is a lot of fun!
...
Well, on Wednesday, Rob Corddry, one of the stars on the show, revealed to BuzzFeed News he personally had the chance to ask Warren why she liked Ballers when Samantha Bee roped in Corddry (and a cutout of The Rock with no shirt on) to surprise Warren during an interview for a 2017 episode of her show, Full Frontal With Samantha Bee.
"I met her on Sam Bee's show and I said, 'Why? Why?' and she said, 'Well, because when we were losing the election to Trump, when it became apparent, my husband and I just shut the TV off and we just indulged in this mindless fun' which Ballers is!" added Corddry. "It's just glitzy fun!"
...
"Really, she is the financial policy senator, and Ballers, as she explained to me more than I knew about the show she said, 'It's different people at different stages of their financial growth, whether they've had money and lost it, had money for the first time and are spending it, whether that be wisely or not, and taking care of your money for the future. And then there's also the sort of man trying to screw everybody out of their money,'' he recounted. "So it was very relevant to her!"
...
In the opening of the show's final season this year, The Rock's character was spotted reading Warren's book on a beach, something that thrilled the senator. "I laughed out loud," she told EW. "I thought it was fabulous and I hope he got to finish the book."
