“How Fucking Lucky Am I?”: Frank Rich Bids Farewell to Succession

Meanwhile, ahead of tonight’s season four premiere of Succession in Manhattan, Joe Pompeo sits down with executive producer Frank Rich to discuss the end of the acclaimed series, along with his decades-long career in journalism and media topics ranging from the Fox-Dominion case to whether he thinks Rupert Murdoch has watched the Roy family.
