Somewhere along the way in her decades of work on stage and screen, Laurie Metcalf cemented her status as one of the greats. Maybe it was her iconic portrayal of Jackie on ROSEANNE, or her roles in the TOY STORY and SCREAM franchises, or most likely it's her many thrilling performances on the stage, all the way back to Steppenwolf to her latest in the Tony nominated DEATH OF A SALESMAN. She joins Josh to talk about it all! #happysadconfused #joshhorowitz #lauriemetcalf
