Interview: Charly Clive on the Chemistry of Comedy and Generosity of Steve Carell in 'Rooster'
The HBO Sunday night comedy slot is one of great value, usually punctuated by a freshman series or a returning comedy that already has its fans. One of the new additions this spring to the HBO Sunday night lineup was Rooster, a series about a father-daughter duo working together on a college campus while Katie (Charly Clive) is trying to figure out her personal life. She’s recently been cheated on, and the entire campus knows – she can literally stop students on the quad to confirm this. She’s a woman whose frustration with her current state of affairs is aided by the presence of her father, Greg (Steve Carrell), a man still trying to figure himself out but always there for his daughter.
