Sunny Nights: D’Arcy Carden Praises Will Forte, First-Time Actor Willie Mason D’Arcy Carden, known for her roles in “The Good Place,” “Broad City,” and “A League of Their Own,” recently starred alongside Will Forte in the comedy-drama “Sunny Nights,” which premiered in Australia in December and is now available on Hulu. The series, co-created by Nick Keetch and Ty Freer, follows two siblings who move to Sydney to launch their spray tan business, only to find themselves entangled in dangerous situations. Carden shared her thoughts on the project, the cast, and the experience of filming abroad. Carden described the process of working with Forte as “unbelievably natural,” despite the pair having never met before. The two comedians, who share a hometown in the Bay Area, formed an instant bond during filming. “The world was pushing us together,” she said, noting that their shared comedic sensibilities created a seamless dynamic. Carden expressed admiration for Forte, calling him “one of the genuinely nicest people” and highlighting his generosity and warmth. She emphasized that his comedic talent was secondary to his kindness, which made their collaboration feel effortless. The show also features first-time actor Willie Mason, a former rugby league player, in a pivotal role. Carden described Mason’s presence on set as almost legendary, with crew members treating him like a celebrity. “Every single person on our set, on the street, anywhere we went with him, treated him like he was a God,” she said, adding that Mason’s natural talent and ease in front of the camera made him a joy to work with. Despite his fame, Mason remained humble, even stepping away from a crowded rugby game to avoid overwhelming fans. Carden praised the show’s blend of humor and darkness, calling it a “dark comedy with mystery and a lot of blood.#d_arcy_carden #will_forte #willie_mason #sunny_nights #stan
