Valerie Bets on AI, Navigating an Industry on Edge in The Comeback
In The Comeback Season 3 Episode 2, Valerie signs on to an AI-scripted multi-camera sitcom (How’s That?) with two human co-writers, keeping the AI twist under wraps as NuNet pitches free content funded by ads. The episode threads Valerie’s industry machinations—from Jane Fonda sightings to Jimmy Burrows agreeing to direct the pilot—through a lens of meta-commentary on AI’s creeping role in TV. The recap notes the installment leans more on plot and emotional texture than punchlines, with prickly dynamics (Billy, Mark) making it feel moody and occasionally unpleasant, while still hinting at sharper satire and the promise of Valerie’s evolving alliances in a changing Hollywood landscape.
