The Lot background

The Lot

The show begins with "The Gossip of the Day," where a modern-day Hedda Hopper mixes anecdotes from the Golden Age of Hollywood in 1937 with insider stories about our pals at the legendary Silver Screen Pictures.

The episode starts by presenting "gossip from the day" featuring Holland Taylor's imitation of Hedda Hopper, blending studio-era tales with behind-the-scenes insights at Silver Screen Pictures. The narrative unfolds, frequently incorporating crude references to past celebrities along with awkward attempts at humor and implausible plot points, such as random raids on parties and clubs despite prohibition ending four years prior. The episode concludes in a similar manner, with Hedda-Holland offering brief gossip about "favorite" stars before insulting them following her radio segment.
