Television Review -- Middleditch & Schwartz

Television Review -- Middleditch & Schwartz

This may be one of my favorite things to re-watch nearly once a month. Thomas Middleditch (Silicon Valley) and Ben Schwartz (Parks & Recreation, Sonic) are a powerful duo of improvisers. While improvisational comedy is not the most popular, Middleditch and Schwartz make it look more like a sport. In a three-part series, Thomas Middleditch and Ben Schwartz receive stories from audience members, and create situations based on the background information they receive.
Not only is this series of specials silly and an overall good time, it makes any audience member appreciate the work and smarts it takes to make people laugh and be quick about it. Middleditch & Schwartz is an illustration of two comedians assassinating the crowd with their wit and humor.

C Comment author: Carl C. HagenComment text: What are MFNs and PBMs ?? ............................ From the editor: This is a very good question and we apologize for not catching that wasn't in there. We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITORComment author: Debra J RidenourComment text: So sorry for your loss.
