Affair: An Evening with Brooklyn Nine-Nine
When: Thursday, March 7, 2015 @ 7:30PM
Hot Spot: LACMA, Bing Theater, Los Angeles
Deets: Set in a fictional police precinct in a mythical land called Brooklyn, with its all 1990s Beastie Boys music-video opening and its take on cop work (treated with both a shrug and high-octane intensity), this action-romance-workplace comedy was a success from the outset. And the show earned star Andy Samberg—in his first series after leaving Saturday Night Live—a Golden Globe for Best Actor for his role as Detective Jake Peralta in its freshman season. (The series also picked up a Globe for Best Comedy Series.) In its season second, Samberg carries on as Peralta—as professionally talented as he is lacking in focus and follow-through in his personal life. He’s surrounded by a cast that includes Joe Lo Truglio as Boyle, Jake’s worshipful, foodie partner; Terry Crews as the precinct’s physically hard but emotionally pillowy second in command; Chelsea Peretti as the civilian desk assistant who gets lost when looking in someone’s eyes (because she’s gazing dreamily at herself); Melissa Fumero as Santiago, who could be Jake’s equal as an investigator but is hobbled by borderline OCD and sycophant issues; and Stephanie Beatriz as Diaz, a detective who’s as tough as she is socially awkward (and also doesn’t care about how she comes across).
The cast members and executive producers and co-creators Dan Goor and Michael Schur are on hand to discuss the show’s genesis and evolution.
Who You May Spot: Includes a conversation with actors Andy Samberg, Melissa Fumero, Andre Braugher, Joe Lo Truglio, Chelsea Peretti, Joel McKinnon Miller and Dirk Blocker and executive producers and co-creators Dan Goor and Michael Schur.
