A Preview of Coming Attractions

Humanity exists as one massive, interconnected family tree, a concept explored through the lens of genealogy and storytelling. By constructing expansive ancestral networks for notable guests, such as comedians and writers, the narrative bridges generations and continents to uncover the hidden lives of relatives both living and deceased. These stories range from a grandmother’s advice on late-life intimacy to the political tensions of the Vietnam War era. The process culminates in a studio reveal where guests meet a distant relative they never knew existed, transforming the abstract "six degrees of separation" into a tangible personal connection. This exploration of lineage highlights the complexity of identity, the heartache of cultural erasure, and the unpredictable nature of family history, ultimately asserting that every individual is a branch of a single, shared human story.
