NBC’s comedy series Superstore returns for its fifth season on Thursday, Sept. 26. I had the pleasure of getting to interview Superstore actress Lauren Ash when she appeared at Austin TV Festival back in June. 

About Superstore

Official synopsis

An oddball family of employees at supersized megastore Cloud 9 tackles the day-to-day grind of rabid bargain hunters, riot-causing sales and nap-worthy training sessions. Stalwart employee Amy is just trying to hold it all together despite the best efforts of her daftly clueless manager Glen and his iron-fisted assistant Dina. Rounding out the crew is new hire Jonah, a dreamy dreamer, sardonic Garrett, ambitious Mateo and sweet young mother-to-be Cheyenne. 

Cast

The comedy stars America Ferrera, Ben Feldman, Lauren Ash, Colton Dunn, Nico Santos, Mark McKinney, and Nichole Bloom. The award-winning primetime series centers on the lives of employees at fictional big-box store Cloud 9.
