During the event, Everett expressed that she treasures friends who create a comfortable atmosphere where she can be herself, likening it to feeling like you can “take off your bra.” She emphasised the importance of having low expectations and enjoying simple pleasures like sharing a laugh on the couch. The comedian highlighted how being around friends like Marc Shaiman, with whom she collaborated on her show “Rock Bottom,” can light up her days for weeks.
Following the success of “Somebody Somewhere,” Everett has formed a strong bond with her co-star Jeff Hiller. She shared her joy when Hiller won an Emmy for their work on the HBO series and described the experience as a Cinderella story. Their friendship extends off-screen, with Hiller revealing they have their own version of ‘tini time, which involves enjoying martinis together with friends.
While Everett and Hiller’s on-screen characters enjoy a vibrant social life, Hiller joked that he has to be mindful of his alcohol intake compared to his character. He amusingly mentioned that he can’t keep up with ‘tinis like Joel does, as he often ends up with a hangover after a night out. The duo’s chemistry on and off-screen has been a highlight for fans of “Somebody Somewhere.”

Her candid reflections on what she values in friends offer a refreshing perspective on building relationships in Hollywood amidst the glitz and glamour. By prioritising authenticity and simplicity, Everett sets an example of nurturing meaningful connections in a world where superficiality often prevails.
As fans eagerly anticipate the next season of “Somebody Somewhere,” the camaraderie between Everett and Hiller off-screen adds an extra layer of charm to the show. Their genuine bond exemplifies the power of authentic friendships in creating a supportive and uplifting environment, both on and off the screen. It’s clear that for Bridget Everett, laughter, simplicity, and genuine connection are the key ingredients to navigating the complex landscape of Hollywood friendships.
