Joining them was a slew of TV talent poised for SAG and Globes attention, including This Is Us’ Chrissy Metz, American Crime and The Leftovers’ Regina King, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend’s Rachel Bloom, UnReal’s Constance Zimmer, Documentary Now!’s Fred Armisen, The People vs. O.J.’s Cuba Gooding Jr., Life in Pieces’ Betsy Brandt, Veep’s Tony Hale and Timothy Simons, Casual’s Tommy Dewey, and Atlanta’s Brian Tyree Henry. With DJ Kiss on the beats, beverages flowing freely, and a stunning south-facing view of L.A. as their backdrop, guests stayed loose and lively for hours.
