Alongside Elaine Ko, Mindy Kaling, and Ike Barinholtz, Dave Stassen is one of the creators, producers, and writers of Netflix’s new comedy series ‘Running Point,’ and discusses how the show transformed the real story of Jeanie Buss and the L.A. Lakers into a half-hour comedy. ‘Running Point’ begins streaming on Netflix starting Feb. 27, 2025.
Stassen also touches on his political comedies ‘Maximum Truth’ and ‘The Oath,’ and his upcoming HBO series with Steve Carell, which will reunite ‘Scrubs’ creator Bill Lawrence with one of its stars, John C. McGinley. In ‘Running Point,’ Isla Gordon, overlooked her whole life, is appointed President of the LA Waves basketball team, a family business. She aims to prove she was the right choice despite skepticism.
