Kristen Bartlett (Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, SNL) lost her husband's father and then her father within a 4 month period while pursuing her dream of working in comedy.

We also dive deep into her time writing at SNL and how she dealt with going from a successful first season to being a mid-season casualty.
