Interview: Joel Kim Booster on Work Environments and Putting Comedy First in ‘Loot’

In the Apple TV+ series Loot, now in its second season, Molly Wells (Maya Rudolph) embarks on a transformative journey of self-exploration following her divorce from her insanely rich husband, which involves getting personally involved in a charity foundation to put all the money she has to good use. At her side is her devoted – and endlessly snarky – assistant Nicholas, played by Joel Kim Booster.

Awards Buzz spoke with Booster about what traits he shares with Nicholas and what differentiates him from his character. Watch the video above to hear how he looks back at his recent career moves, including his multihyphenate involvement in Hulu’s Fire Island.
