truTV hit comedy Those Who Can’t is starting production on its third season, and they’re adding a new writer to the mix: comedian Lisa Best.
Those Who Can’t co-creator Ben Roy – one-third of the Grawlix, the comedy team behind the hit sitcom made up of Roy and fellow Denver natives Andrew Orvedahl and Adam Cayton-Holland – tweeted the news this week:
A huge heartfelt welcome to the newest member of the #thosewhocant writing staff, the hilarious @_lisabest ! S3 in the works y’all!

Best was recently featured on Vice’s standup showcase Flophouse, and co-hosted the Travel Channel’s Cheat Day Chowdown alongside Dave Stone (she also appears in the comics’ upcoming Netflix doc, Gutbuster). A former regular on Syfy’s Fangasm, she co-wrote and co-starred in web series “The Apartment.” Her debut album, Brain Bank, is out now.
A lovable and unfailingly energetic performer , Best has been lauded by Portland Monthly for possessing “a flair for turning embarrassing stories into comedy gold,” a skill that will surely serve her well on a show that exposes the secret, awkward lives of high school administrators.
Here’s Best is on the late, great Meltdown show:
The third season of Those Who Can’t won’t premiere til later this year, but you can binge the full first season on Hulu anytime.
