Bullseye with Jesse Thorn is a production of MaximumFun.org and is distributed by NPR.

It's Bullseye, I'm Jesse Thorn, our guest is Eddie Bryant.

She's being interviewed by our friend and correspondent, Trevelle Anderson.

Odds are you know Eddie Bryant from Saturday Night Live.

She's been in the cast now for almost a decade.

On the show she's done killer impressions of Ted Cruz, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, and she's

saying on an SNL holiday classic, called, Do It On My Twin Bed.

For the last few years, Eddie has also starred in and written for her own show, Shrill.

Shrill is based on the memoir of the same name by Lindy West.

Shrill just wrapped up its third and final season on Hulu and it has earned Eddie an Emmy nomination

for Best Lead Actress in a Comedy Series.

On the show, Bryant plays Annie Easton, a writer living in Portland and struggling to find

her voice.

She's gotten on and off, boyfriend who frankly should probably be just off.

Annie is also fat.

She says it herself in the show's pilot.

Unlike you know pretty much every other TV show, Annie's body isn't treated like a problem

to overcome.

It doesn't really define the show, either.

Instead, weight and body image come up on the show the way these things show up in real

life.

Incensative comments from well-meaning family members.
