The award-winning team behind Netflix's new comedy The Four Seasons — Tina Fey (star/co-creator/executive producer), Will Forte, Erika Henningsen, Lang Fisher, and Tracey Wigfield — join us for a special advance screening of the show's first two episodes, followed by a conversation with longtime entertainment journalist Jessica Shaw.
The Four Seasons follows six old friends who head out for a relaxing weekend away together — what could possibly go wrong? Over the course of a year, these three couples — an all-star comedy ensemble including Fey and Forte, Steve Carell and Kerri Kenney-Silver, Colman Domingo and Marco Calvani — are upended by the news that one couple in the group is splitting up. Based on the classic 1981 feature film of the same name, The Four Seasons is a hilarious and heartfelt love letter to long marriages and old friendships.
Following a special advance screening of the first two episodes, hear Fey, Forte, Henningsen, Fisher, and Wigfield discuss with Shaw creating the feel-good comedy, adapting the film for a new audience, and more.
Ed Helms In Conversation with Samantha Bee: Snafu — A Hilarious History Of Epic Screwups
In Person and Online
Monday, April 28, 7:30 pm, From $40
Ever hear a story so ridiculous you think, there's no way that actually happened — only to Google it and realize, Oh wow, we're all lucky to be alive? That's basically the premise of SNAFU, the new book from actor, comedian, and history enthusiast Ed Helms — and lucky for us, he's coming to 92NY to talk all about it.
You know Ed from The Office (where his character made plenty of his own SNAFUs), The Hangover (which is basically one giant SNAFU), and The Daily Show (where he reported on actual SNAFUs). Now, with SNAFU: The Definitive Guide to History's Greatest Screwups, he's diving into the real-life blunders so absurd they make Florida Man look like a Nobel Prize winner. We're talking about Cold War geniuses who wanted to plant nukes on the moon, CIA masterminds who thought cats would make great spies, and other government decisions that were — let's just say — not exactly thought through.
Join Helms for an evening of laugh-out-loud storytelling, history you won't believe actually happened, and the kind of cautionary tales that remind us why reading the instructions is always a good idea. Book signing to follow — no guarantees it won't turn into its own minor historical disaster.
All in-person books will be pre-signed. Ed Helms will personalize books after the event.

Bob Costas: A Career Conversation With Howard Bryant
In Person and Online
Sunday, May 11, 7 pm, From $45
For more than four decades, Bob Costas has shaped how we experience baseball — through his voice, his perspective, and his ability to put the moment into context.
Now, after 44 years since his first game in the booth, he's stepped away from MLB play-by-play, making this an ideal time to reflect on his remarkable career and the evolving world of sports.
The legendary Costas isn't just a sportscaster, he's a master storyteller, a sharp observer of the game and its role in American culture, and a man who can make even a rain delay sound riveting. He has covered everything from the World Series to the Olympics, the Super Bowl and the NBA Finals to the Kentucky Derby. He has won 29 Emmy Awards — more than any other sports broadcaster — and, just for variety, picked up a Walter Cronkite Award for journalism and a National Sportscaster of the Year title (eight times over).
Bob Costas' influence extends far beyond the broadcast booth. His HBO show On the Record and his incisive, principled commentary on everything from sports scandals to social issues have cemented his place as a voice of cultural significance. He is the rare broadcaster who can break down a game-winning play and its historical significance in the same breath — all while making it look effortless.
In conversation with ESPN's Howard Bryant — an acclaimed journalist and the definitive biographer of Hank Aaron — Costas will reflect on his career, the state of sports today, and where the game of baseball, and sports media, are headed next. Expect sharp insights, behind-the-scenes stories, and the kind of thoughtful, unscripted commentary that has made Bob Costas one of the most trusted voices in American media.
A must-see for sports fans, media junkies, and anyone who appreciates a great story told by a master of the craft.
