Filmed at the Dynasty Typewriter in Los Angeles and over four different shows &#8211; mainly as an excuse for her to wear four different outfits &#8211; Povitsky&#8217;s material explores deep existential questions, such as why she&#8217;s like a slice of pizza in the bedroom, or why her ex-boyfriend&#8217;s wife blocked her on Facebook. The special also includes cameos by Christine Taylor, Andrew Friedman, and Priscilla Barnes.<\/p><div id=\"morty-2541190522\" class=\"morty-content\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>Stand-Up fans are invited to post about the special on social media using the hashtag #HotForMyName.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>Esther Povitsky: Hot For My Name<\/em>&#8221; is Executive Produced by Esther Povitsky and is Directed by Nicholaus Goossen, who also serves as Executive Producer along with Allen Covert, Judit Maull, and Robert Digby as Executive Producers for Happy Madison.
