Comedian Ilana Glazer says her 4-year-old daughter taught her a big lesson: 'I learned to slow down'
Ilana Glazer says that parenting her toddler taught her how to let go of control. She says she often has expectations of how things will unfold, but they don't always match reality. "When you have kids, they're not a plan to be executed," the comedian said. Ilana Glazer says that parenting her 4-year-old daughter taught her the power of letting go. In an interview with Parents published on Monday, the comedian spoke about raising a toddler and how the experience brought her unexpected clarity. "I learned to slow down and be gentle with myself in the past five years, including during my pregnancy. It's a muscle that needs exercise and breath," Glazer told Parents. Glazer, best known for her role in Comedy Central's "Broad City," added that parenting rarely sticks to a script. "When you have kids, they're not a plan to be executed. They're little magical human beings who need support," she said. But still, letting go of control is a work in progress. Glazer says she's far from a chill mom, especially "when I have expectations of how a trip is supposed to go, how bedtime is supposed to go, how a nap is supposed to go." Thankfully, she's got plenty of support from her husband, who complements her parenting style. Unlike Glazer, her husband does his best to "make space for our daughter to have whatever process she's having." "And it's so much more delightful than making my kid my little employee, whose job it is to do what I need her to do. I like to plan for things and produce, so it's been a gift to see our combined parenting unfold," Glazer said. "It's shown me how much I've been holding on to that I need to let go of." She added that her daughter is already able to name her feelings — something that Glazer had to go to therapy to learn. "She's already 30 years ahead of me," Glazer added. Glazer is among several high-profile women who have recently opened up about the challenges of raising children, particularly the need to let go of control. In a March appearance on the "Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce" podcast, Kate Hudson said she learned how to apologize to her kids when she's in the wrong. "Sometimes in conflict, you go too far, and you need to say you're sorry, instead of teaching them that you doubled down," Hudson said. "And what you find in going to your kids and saying, 'I could have handled this better' or 'I made a mistake' or 'I'm sorry I didn't trust you' — whatever the scenario — is that connection becomes stronger." During a May episode of the "IMO" podcast, Michelle Obama said she doesn't believe in coddling her kids because it prevents them from learning from their mistakes. "It's like, you know what, I raised you all to have some sense, to have judgment. And at some point, you've got to practice that, which means that I've got to let go," the former first lady said. A representative for Glazer did not immediately respond to a request for comment sent by Business Insider outside regular hours. Read the original article on Business Insider

Good Night, and Good Luck viewers make surprise discovery while tuning in to see George Clooney live on CNN
Viewers tuning in to see George Clooney star in Good Night, and Good Luck live on CNN were surprised to recognize another actor in the production. CNN is airing the production live from the Winter Garden Theatre in New York City. The telecast marks the first time in history a Broadway show has been broadcast live on national television. More than 20 cameras were positioned throughout the theater to bring audiences at home, CNN correspondent Anderson Cooper said while introducing the play. Clooney, nominated for a Tony Award for his Broadway debut performance, plays legendary journalist Edward R. Murrow. The play — adapted from the 2005 film of the same name which Clooney directed, co-wrote the screenplay for, and starred in as television producer Fred Friendly — follows Murrow's historic on-air showdown with Senator Joseph McCarthy. In addition to Clooney, the cast also featured comedian Ilana Glazer, Mac Brandt, Will Dagger, Christopher Denham, Glenn Fleshler, Clark Gregg, Paul Gross, Georgia Heers, Carter Hudson, Fran Kranz, Jennifer Morris, Michael Nathanson, Andrew Polk, Aaron Roman Weiner, R. Ward Duffy, Joe Forbrich, Imani Rousselle, Greg Stuhr, JD Taylor, and Sophia Tzougros. Many fans didn't realize Glazer was in the production and were pleasantly surprised by the discovery. Glazer, known for co-creating the Comedy Central show Broad City, plays producer and writer Shirley Wershba. 'Oh wow Ilana Glazer is in this Good Night & Good Luck play ? that's awesome,' one fan wrote on X. 'Since when is ilana glazer in good night and good luck on broadway?????????????' another questioned. 'How'd i not know ilana glazer was in the george clooney play,' a third wrote. But fans were also surprised by the relevance the story — specifically Clooney's dialogue — has today. 'You need to stop whatever you are doing and watch :Good Night and Good Luck' right now. So much of this dialogue perfectly ensconce the current Trump administration,' one viewer wrote on X. 'Excellent social commentary. Thank you CNN. And thank you George Clooney,' someone else shared. 'Beautiful moment from George Clooney on Good Night and Good Luck! Certainly, the speech is so relevant today!' another noted. When CNN announced the live broadcast, Clooney said: 'I can't tell you how exciting it is to do something that's never been done. CNN is the perfect place to bring this story of courage to so many more people than we could have ever hoped. Live TV. No net. Buckle up everyone.' Fans seemed to echo that sentiment as the broadcast began, commenting on the accessibility factor of bringing Broadway to living rooms across the country. 'Really enjoying watching Good Night, and Good Luck on CNN. I think it's such a great thing to make theater, to make Broadway, more accessible to everyone. And this play is so relevant to what's happening in the world, especially here in the US, right now,' one person wrote on X. 'This live broadcast of Good Night and Good Luck is great so far, and i hope it leads to even more Broadway on TV. smartly timed for the end of a limited run that's well beyond recoupment, and accessible to those who are outside NYC and/or couldn't afford those ticket prices,' another said. 'Watching Good Night and Good Luck live is genuinely so cool! Love when live theater is made accessible!!!' a third chimed in. 'Good Night, and Good Luck Live is just proving that theatre SHOULD be regularly broadcasted or made available to stream ... I would love to watch something from the west end or Broadway every other Saturday like DO THIS MORE,' someone else wrote. Good Night, and Good Luck opened April 3 on Broadway for a limited run. The production, which earned five Tony nominations, closes June 8. Saturday night's live broadcast was executive produced by Clooney, Grant Heslov, Deena Katz, Todd Wagner, and Jeff Skoll. The production is directed by Tony winner David Cromer.
