The Makers of ‘BoJack Horseman' Take Family Matters by the Reins
'I'm interested in the art in the glass part of it, but I find the rest of it a little opaque,' he told the cartoonist and former 'BoJack' production designer Lisa Hanawalt, who was hanging out with him that day.
'I want to touch this so bad,' she said.
'Well, just go outside and touch the sidewalk,' Bob-Waksberg replied.
'I touched a Monet once,' she answered. 'It looked so touchable that I just walked up and went, boop. And everyone was like, 'Nooo!''
'I don't regret it,' she continued. 'It was worth it just to feel how chunky it was.'
Longtime collaborators, though still in their early 40s, their latest effort is 'Long Story Short,' a Netflix animated series about the Schwoopers, a dysfunctional family of five living in Northern California. Premiering on Friday, the series is Bob-Waksberg's first solo creation since 'BoJack,' with original art by Hanawalt, the show's supervising producer. The voice cast features several 'BoJack' alumni, including Lisa Edelstein ('House') as the family matriarch and Abbi Jacobson ('Broad City') as Shira Schwooper, the middle sibling.

Inside Look: Four Seasons Hotel At The Surf Club Review
A s one of the country's most popular vacation destinations, there's no shortage of great places to stay across greater Miami, including staples like South Beach, Wynwood, Brickell and Coconut Grove. During a conference in town, I checked out the enclave of Surfside, located on a barrier island about 20 minutes north of Miami Beach. Surfside has gained popularity as a relaxed, upscale and more residential area of the city, featuring family-friendly beaches, fine dining and glitzy boutiques. What brought me to the area, however, was the Four Seasons Hotel At The Surf Club, commonly referred to as the best domestic property in the brand's portfolio—and one of the country's finest hotels. Read my full review below. Peacock Alley at the Four Seasons Hotel At The Surf Club. Four Seasons Hotel At The Surf Club Who Will Love It: Couples; families; multi-generational groups; those who want to be close to great beaches and shopping but removed from the crowds All-Star Amenities: Three pools; direct beach access; beachfront gardens; spa; fitness center; three restaurants; Champagne Bar; complimentary morning coffee and pastries in Peacock Alley What Not To Miss: Dinner at Lido Location: Surfside, Florida Upon arrival, my first impression of Four Seasons Hotel At The Surf Club was its discreet elegance. Tucked away behind a gate on posh Collins Avenue, the hotel's public spaces are filled with coral-stoned steps, terracotta floors, grandiose vaulted ceilings and leafy palm trees lining its skylight-beamed lobby, known as Peacock Alley. Its peaceful surroundings are reminiscent of a 1960s hacienda, with modern touches—like a Champagne trolley at the check-in desk and tables lined with art and décor-themed books—that blend the past and the present. Outdoor pool and cabanas at the Four Seasons Hotel At The Surf Club. Four Seasons Hotel At The Surf Club Before it became a Four Seasons hotel, the building itself—know as The Surf Club—had a storied past. Opened in 1930, the Mediterranean Revival structure was once a social club known for revelrous late night gatherings with the likes of Henry Ford and Winston Churchill; Frank Sinatra and Ava Gardner later honeymooned here. I spent my first hour on property strolling the public spaces and taking plenty of photos before throwing on a swimsuit and checking out the hotel's plentiful pool options: one for families, one for adults and one flanked by (air-conditioned) cabanas. On the final day of my conference, I treated myself to an excellent Surf Club Signature massage at the hotel's spa, overlooking Biscayne Bay. As a travel editor who has stayed in dozens of Four Seasons properties over the course of my career, my room at Four Seasons At The Surf Club ranks among one of my very favorites. It's not hard to do a beachfront room in a tropical destination—all hotels know that guests are seeking prime views—but my Oceanfront King room stood out for its spacious, modern feel that felt both residential and otherworldly. Upon opening the door, all I could see was turquoise blue; its sea views were so all-encompassing that it felt as if I were sleeping directly on the ocean. Oceanfront King room at the Four Seasons Hotel At The Surf Club. Four Seasons Hotel At The Surf Club The room was comprised of a tasteful palette of cream and jade, an extension of the shades of the sea. At 735 square feet, the space was well-proportioned and featured high-tech touches like bedside USB chargers, a 65-inch flatscreen HDTV and a tablet that was used to control the room's temperature and drapes. It felt almost criminal to use the blackout curtains feature to hide the room's incredible ocean views, but it was all worth it to enjoy some of the most restful sleep of a hectic week in a truly pitch-black room. Food And Beverage The hotel is home to three restaurants. The casual Winston's on the Beach serves up grilled fare, while Lido focuses on Italian and Mediterranean favorites. And The Surf Club is the property's Michelin-starred restaurant helmed by Thomas Keller, which bills itself as 'Continental cuisine' and features a wide range of European favorites like foie gras and loup de mer Provençale (a Provençal-style fish). On my first evening dining here, I ate my weight in delectable crab cakes and thankfully had enough room left for the star of the show: the prime beef short rib wellington, which was expertly cooked and topped with a périgourdine sauce. Lido Restaurant at the Four Seasons Hotel At The Surf Club. Four Seasons Hotel At The Surf Club On my last evening, I nabbed a table at Lido, located off the hotel's main Peacock Alley and complete with the same vaulted ceilings and greenery but with emerald dining chairs and sapphire blue water glasses for pops of color. I enjoyed some burrata alongside the 'mezzi pacheri a la Lido,' a short and wide pasta noodle bathed in tomato sauce and parmigiano-reggiano. It was made perfectly al dente and paired with a glass of Barbera. Right outside of Lido, the Champagne Bar was packed with well-heeled locals and visitors enjoying bespoke cocktails and a robust menu of bubbles; in true Miami fashion, the music and laughter continued late into the night. What Not To Miss It bears repeating that the property's public spaces, all filled with contemporary art, photographs and coffee table books, beckon guests to truly appreciate their surroundings. In the mornings before heading down to the Miami Convention Center for my conference, I woke up early to grab a freshly brewed cup of coffee and a pastry—both complimentary in the hotel's Peacock Alley—and perched on a chair to absorb the historic atmosphere, surrounded by lush palms. In a bustling city like Miami, it's an uncommon escape that truly feels special. How To Get There Four Seasons Hotel At The Surf Club is located at the halfway point between two airports, making it convenient to get to from both. The property is about a 30-minute drive from Miami International Airport (MIA), and about a 40-minute drive from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL).

Tiffany Haddish Just Ruthlessly Roasted Trump Without Even Saying His Name
Jimmy Kimmel Live guest host Tiffany Haddish didn't mention President Donald Trump during Monday night's monologue, but she seemed to have him in mind as she jokingly announced she was running for president herself. 'I've got all the qualifications to be president,' she said, then listed three things she has in common with Trump. 'I'm rich, I've been arrested a few times, and I always say crazy shit.' Related: She has one other important qualification as well. 'We've had an actor as president, a reality host president, but now it's time to elect a comedian,' she said. 'Finally, a president who's funny on purpose, most of the time.' Harry Langdon / Getty Images, Andrew Harnik / Getty Images Haddish delivered a campaign-style speech unveiling a platform that includes paying taxes with old gift cards. Related: 'We're gonna run this country, this government, like a company,' the comic and actor said. 'And that company is Sizzler.' Her platform includes requiring credit scores on dating site profiles, providing pastrami at all Subway locations, and retooling delivery robots to become sex toys. 'No more STDs, y'all,' she vowed. Related: But her biggest promise was something more profound. 'My campaign is built around a very simple idea: America, mind your own damn business,' she said. 'Doesn't that sound nice?' That promise called to mind something Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said as he ran for vice president on last year's Democratic ticket. Related: 'In Minnesota, we respect our neighbors and the personal choices that they make,' he said on the campaign trail. 'And even if we wouldn't make the same choices for ourselves, we've got a golden rule: Mind your own damn business.' Check out Haddish's take on that 'golden rule' in her Monday night monologue: This article originally appeared on HuffPost. Also in In the News: Also in In the News: Also in In the News:
