Bill Lawrence, the Emmy-winning TV creator who made his name with Spin City, Scrubs, Cougar Town and Ted Lasso, and who currently has three shows simultaneously on the air — Apple TV+’s Shrinking, HBO’s Rooster and ABC’s revival of Scrubs — is the latest special guest confirmed to attend this year’s Napa Valley StreamFest.
At 6 p.m. on Saturday, April 25, Lawrence will sit down with yours truly in front of festival attendees at the Uptown Theatre in Downtown Napa for an hourlong career-retrospective conversation that will be recorded for subsequent airing on The Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter podcast.
