Maria Cominis joins Baklava & Banter for a conversation that quickly turns into something far beyond an interview.
From the start, it’s clear this isn’t your typical sit-down. We asked questions… she answered… and somehow we ended up enrolling ourselves in her class.
Maria Cominis — a first-generation Greek American actress, writer, director, and professor — has appeared in hit shows like Hacks, New Girl, and Desperate Housewives. But beyond the credits, this episode dives into her journey, her creative process, and the real stories behind building a career in entertainment while staying connected to culture and identity.
Of course, it wouldn’t be Baklava & Banter without going off-script. We get into Greek culture, food, storytelling, and what it really means to “learn” (even if we’re definitely not doing the homework).
If you enjoy conversations that feel like you’re sitting at the table with friends — with a mix of humor, insight, and just enough chaos — this one’s for you.
