It is incredibly hard to portray a marriage on television without leaning on cliche character types. And yet, Andrea Savage has created a funny, charming, and relatable match with her TV husband, Tom Everett Scott, on TruTV’s I’m Sorry (which returns for its second season tonight at 10 pm EST). On the show, Scott’s character, Mike, switches between co-conspirator and someone who lovingly tolerates his wife’s irrepressible need to make fun of everything as Savage mines the space in between life’s tentpole moments. How did Scott, who can also be seen in the upcoming film I Hate Kids (which premieres in theaters and on VOD January 18th), handle the Uproxx 20? Loving tolerance? Irrepressible mockery? Charm and relatability? You’ll have to read to find out.
