Valerie Cherish returns to TV and The Comeback this Sunday (November 9) so there is still time to marathon the 10 episodes from what used to be the first and only season (on HBO Go, Amazon Prime or DVD). Originally this return was conceived as a 6-episode run, but as they shot so much footage this was extended to 8 with an hour long finale.
To find out where we will find Valerie at the start of the season and for an extensive interview with Lisa Kudrow and Michael Patrick King you should check out Kate Arthur’s excellent feature on the return and cancellation of The Comeback and how the reality TV landscape has changed dramatically since 2005 when the show debuted.
I will be joined once again by Kerensa Cadenas to talk about all things Valerie and I think I can speak for the both of us when I say we got really attached to this character. In fact you can find out for yourself through the links below as we followed Valerie through forced cheery smiles and moments of true sadness as she let the mask drop on occasion. Reality TV is something we cover in-depth across the various episode discussions as well as issues of age/ beauty in the entertainment industry, mid-o0s fashion, Valerie’s narcissism, sexism, racism and the need to stay relevant.
