Marrying politics with comedy, Mr. Mayor season 2 is back on NBC. The second season of the sitcom once again brings together two powerhouses of television, star Ted Danson and show creator Tina Fey.
Ted Danson has earned a reputation in the entertainment industry as a brilliant sitcom actor, especially as it pertains to his work on NBC. Stemming from his days playing Sam Malone on Cheers, Danson has gone on to receive rave reviews for his work on The Good Place and now Mr. Mayor. Outside of his performances on the network, Danson has also been celebrated for his comedic roles in projects like HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm and CBS’ Becker.
Tina Fey herself continues to find fans in the NBC universe, as well as Netflix. Coming a long way from her Saturday Night Live days, Fey has gone on to create award-programing such as 30 Rock and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.

- Vella Lovell as Mikaela Shaw
- Mike Cabellon as Tommy Tomás
- Kyla Kenedy as Orly Bremer

Mr. Mayor plot
Mr. Mayor is a political sitcom about a retired businessman who ran for mayor of Los Angeles only to prove that he can. However, once he was elected to the office, he finds himself trying to figure out what his platform really is, earn the respect of his deputy mayor, connect with his teenage daughter and actually attempt to serve the great people of Los Angeles. All of which is harder than he anticipated.
Fans of the series will remember that in the season 1 finale, Mayor Neil Bremer was dealing with a palm tree fiasco and decided to ice out his deputy mayor and her opinions. A move that didn’t sit well with Deputy Mayor Arpi Meskimen.
Elsewhere, Tommy Tomás and Mikaela Shaw were trying to comfort Jayden Kwapis after he received news that the child he was expecting with Samanthee wasn’t his.
