If you\u2019re wondering how a group of actors this <\/i>funny was able to get through a scene of Running Point <\/i>Season 2<\/a> without making each other giggle, it\u2019s a good question: \u201cEvery day, we\u2019re like, who\u2019s going to make someone break first? Who\u2019s going to land the joke best and make everybody laugh the hardest?\u201d says star Kate Hudson on Skip Intro with Krista Smith<\/i><\/a>. \u201cWe enjoy the work so much that it then translates onto the screen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Running Point<\/i><\/a> \u2014 <\/i>written and executive produced by Mindy Kaling<\/a>, Ike Barinholtz, and David Stassen \u2014 boasts a deep bench of comedians and actors. The series follows the LA Waves, a fictional basketball franchise<\/a> run by the Gordon family. When team president Cam (Justin Theroux) unexpectedly goes to rehab in Season 1<\/a>, he shocks everyone by naming his sister Isla (Hudson<\/a>) as his replacement over his brothers Ness (Scott MacArthur), the team\u2019s general manager, or Sandy (Drew Tarver), chief financial officer. An avid yet underestimated basketball fan, Isla defies the male-dominated basketball world\u2019s expectations<\/a> and takes the underdog team to the playoffs<\/a> with some help from Ali (Brenda Song), her best friend and the LA Waves chief of staff.<\/p>\n

Season 2<\/a> introduces new beefs, heightened chaos, and, somehow, even more laughs. When Cam surprises everyone by returning home early from rehab<\/a>, he swears he\u2019s not trying to reclaim his old title. But slowly, it becomes clear that Cam is one of several trying to block Isla\u2019s shot.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI love the sibling dynamic in this. Family is everything to me,\u201d says Hudson. \u201cIt\u2019s a comedy about a dysfunctional family, but at the core of it, they can\u2019t live without each other.\u201d Watch Hudson on Skip Intro<\/i> exclusively on Netflix<\/a>\u00a0or listen wherever you get your podcasts.<\/p>\n

From physical humor to spot-on cultural references, razor-sharp wit, and perfectly timed barbs, it\u2019s impossible to make it through Running Point <\/i>Season 2<\/a> with a straight face thanks to this cast, featuring a slew of starry jokesters who fit seamlessly into the production. \u201cMindy, Ike, and David really thought about people who would like each other,\u201d says Hudson. \u201cWho can hang? There\u2019s not going to be any ego. They put the greatest group of people together, and we have an absolute blast.\u201d Catch up with the chaotic Gordon family and Season 1 cast<\/a>, and meet all the surprising cameos in Season 2 of Running Point<\/i>, now streaming<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

About the Character<\/p>\n

In Season 1, Isla unexpectedly took up the mantle of LA Waves president mid-season and led the team to the playoffs only to suffer a brutal loss in Game 7.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This year, the stakes have never been higher as Isla straddles the demands of her franchise and family. With chaotic brother Cam (Theroux) back early from rehab, Isla isn\u2019t sure who she can trust, and who wants to see her fail.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The character of Isla is loosely based on Jeanie Buss, the president and owner of the LA Lakers<\/a>, whom Hudson has known for years. \u201cShe has big sister energy,\u201d says Hudson.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

About the Character<\/p>\n

Sandy has his hands full in Season 2 with organizing the Oscars pool, planning book club (they\u2019re sobbing through The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo<\/i><\/a>), and juggling some unexpected challenges in his love life \u2014 including an accidental shot of his bare butt on a Bravo reality show.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI love Drew\u2019s storyline this year,\u201d says Hudson. \u201cThere\u2019s something about Drew, he\u2019s a really wonderful, dramatic actor. His physical comedy is so good. But there\u2019s also a weight and a beauty to his ability.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

About the Character<\/p>\n

Ness steps up as the LA Waves general manager this season, trying to stop his siblings from using his name as a derogatory verb (as in, \u201cNess it up\u201d). He\u2019s another Gordon sibling with something to prove to the rest of his family.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Just as he loses one word from his vocabulary, he adds another \u2014 \u201ckiki\u201d \u2014 which he dispenses liberally, much to Sandy\u2019s horror.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

About the Character<\/p>\n

With the help of a fat check, Cam cuts his time in rehab short to get back in the game. The eldest Gordon claims he doesn\u2019t want to take his job as LA Waves president back from his sister, but old habits die hard and his chaos might not be too far behind him.<\/p>\n

\u201cJustin is so profoundly funny and he\u2019s so perfect for this part,\u201d says Hudson. \u201cHe just needs to walk into a room and we will break [character].\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

About the Character<\/p>\n

The LA Waves \u2014 especially Isla \u2014 would be lost without their chief of staff, Ali. But sometimes Ali gets (very) taken for granted in the Gordon sibling shuffle. With the help of Miley Cyrus\u2019s empowering anthem \u201cFlowers,\u201d Ali learns to stand up for herself \u2014 even if that means standing up to her longtime best friend.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cOn a day-to-day basis, it\u2019s me, Brenda, and a bunch of boys. Thank God it\u2019s Brenda because she is just the greatest, funniest, most down, talented woman, and she\u2019s become a really good friend,\u201d says Hudson. \u201cThere are certain people you meet and you\u2019re like, \u2018Oh, I\u2019m gonna know that person forever.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
