TACOMA FD - STEVE LEMME AND KEVIN HEFFERNAN INTERVIEW
/
From the creators of the hilarious Super Troopers franchise… watch all new episodes of Season Two of truTV’s hit comedy series Tacoma FD.
Created by and starring Broken Lizard’s Steve Lemme and Kevin Heffernan of the Super Troopers franchise, truTV’s Tacoma FD is a half-hour comedy set in a firehouse in one of America’s rainiest cities. Light on blazes that need extinguishing, these firefighters keep themselves entertained with creative competitions, friendly first responder rivalries and no shortage of bizarre emergency calls. Chief Terry McConky (Heffernan) and Captain Eddie Penisi (Lemme) lead the firehouse shenanigans and are joined by an eclectic crew played by Eugene Cordero (Andy), Marcus Henderson (Granny), Gabriel Hogan (Ike) and Hassie Harrison (Lucy). This season, the squad finds themselves fighting fires at a haunted house, trapped in an elevator during the annual Firefighter’s Ball, joining a firefighter’s choir and learning some new dance moves. To date, season two of Tacoma FD has reached over 10 million viewers and has had a rare season-over-season ratings growth with a top 5 cable comedy ranking on ad-supported cable this year.
Steve Lemme and Kevin Heffernan are best known for creating and starring in the Super Troopers film franchise. The two are also members of the Broken Lizards comedy group and have starred together in films including Beer Fest and Club Dread.
I spoke with Steve and Kevin about the new season of Tacoma FD and whether or not a new Super Trooper movie is on the horizon.
