After 40 years in showbiz, Lisa Kudrow is making a "comeback." Her HBO series, "The Comeback," is the story of a faded sitcom star, Valerie Cherish, who signs on to a reality show about her attempts to stage a comeback.
It's equal parts funny and cringey, and so is the show's back-story.
Created by Emmy-winner Kudrow and former "Sex and the City" boss Michael Patrick King, "The Comeback" premiered in 2005. It was canceled after one season, but became a cult favorite, and so the show was revived for a second season in 2014.
After that, it was shelved again. But now, a dozen years later, it's back for season three, starting on HBO tonight.
