Vanessa Bayer's new series is best summed up as: “I don’t know if I should be laughing, but I’m definitely laughing.”
we really want it to be a show where you laugh out loud,” Bayer says. “But we also wanted it to feel grounded, and we wanted it to feel like you really believe what these people are going through.” This tricky dichotomy gives the show a funny but awkward energy—an “I don’t know if I should be laughing, but I’m definitely laughing” vibe. At this point in her life, Bayer’s kind of used to that.
Bayer was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia when she was 15, around spring break of her freshman year of high school. She underwent what she calls the disease’s standard treatment—10 months of intense chemotherapy followed by “maintenance chemo for a couple years,” when, she tells me, her “hair grew back and things were a lot more normal.”
“I always wanted to write something about my experience as a sick teenager, because I do think I had a unique perspective on it. I really was able to find the ways that it could benefit me,” Bayer says. She’d often show up to school late: “Even though we had a strict attendance lady, she would ask me no questions. I was a teenager who was, like, sleeping in, and she was just like, ‘You go ahead.’ I got away with a lot of stuff because I was sick.
