Michael Hitchcock

A formative Christian upbringing; making promises to God in order to win the role (then having to follow through); attempts to stay in the religion, but slowly falling away; good stories, laughs, and a home in comedy and the family of performers. 

 

Michael Hitchcock (Actor: Waiting for Guffman, Best In Show... Writer: Glee, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend) visits the show, and he and Nicholas reminisce about their "Naked Tackling" hi-jinks on Season 2 of Trial & Error.  Michael shares how his Christian upbringing was deeply formative, but how he slowly moved away from practicing the religion.  He speaks about where he finds spiritual fulfillment today, his views on the afterlife, and when some performers from "Up With People" stayed at his house when he was a kid.  They both share a little about growing up in communities that were not demographically diverse.  Michael describes how his grandmother felt the lost souls on the Titanic were doomed for Hell, and also assures Nicholas that he would be there to comfort him if he ever got shingles.
