ARE YOU READY FOR THE END?

(Starts at :45)

"Game of Thrones" has its series finale this Sunday under the shadow of fans who are already upset with how this season has played out. Can there possibly be a satisfying ending? How have other popular TV shows dealt with their endings? John Horn chats with CNN TV critic Brian Lowry.

NANCY AND BETH AND MEGAN AND STEPHANIE

(Starts at 7:45)

Megan Mullally and Stephanie Hunt front the rollicking eclectic band, Nancy and Beth. Best known as a comedic actor on the series “Will & Grace,” Mullaly is also a talented musician. Along with Hunt (“Friday Night Lights”), Nancy and Beth released their first album two years ago and have since played at a range of venues, including UCLA’s Royce Hall and Lincoln Center. The duo is self-described as "punk-vaudeville" and infuses comedic choreography into their performance of cover songs. They came to KPCC's Crawford Family Forum for an interview with John Horn and a performance before an audience.
