A Wild Sit‑Down Filled With Ex‑Dodging, Gremlin Rules, and One Very Traumatized Co‑Star
The Running Point trio — Kate Hudson, Scott MacArthur, and Drew Tarver — stopped by The Jennifer Hudson Show, and the entire segment instantly turned into a comedic circus. Between dodging exes, revisiting on‑set injuries, and unpacking their chaotic family‑business basketball series, the cast delivered pure, unfiltered joy.
Running Point brings team drama to the talk-show couch
Kate Hudson, Scott MacArthur, and Drew Tarver keep the Netflix basketball comedy in play with family chaos, front-office jokes, and courtside sitcom energy.
Kate opened up about her whirlwind awards season, sharing how special it was to bring her mom Goldie Hawn and her son along for the ride. “It just feels a little bit less serious,” she said, explaining how having family around keeps her grounded and lets her actually enjoy the moment.
Scott then jumped in with a story about meeting Goldie — or rather, being talked at by Goldie for 35 straight minutes. “I didn’t say much,” he admitted, recalling how he stood frozen while she delivered a full anthology of anecdotes. His wife later informed him he hadn’t spoken at all. The next night, he overcorrected and talked for 45 minutes straight… only for Goldie to tell Kate afterward, “Oh my God, that Scotty can talk.”
Drew shared his own Goldie‑adjacent adventure — a surreal trip to Greece where Kate insisted he visit a nearby island. She even “sent a boat,” which turned out to be a tiny water taxi with a captain smoking a cigarette. After crossing the water, Drew looked up to see a figure in a white flowy dress descending a cliffside staircase. “I thought I died and that was God,” he joked. It was Kate, of course, welcoming him to dinner with her entire family.
And for us? We absolutely adore both Scott and Drew — two of the funniest, sharpest supporting actors working today, popping up in so many of our favorites, from Killing It to The Other Two. Seeing them finally front‑and‑center together is a gift.
But the moment everyone was waiting for? The pool incident.
Kate and Scott revisited the now‑infamous Season 1 scene where their characters end up in the water mid‑fight — and Kate accidentally kneed Scott in the testicles so hard he “went back in time.” Scott’s words. Kate’s horror was immediate. Drew’s commentary was priceless.
“I could hear it under the water,” Scott said, describing the moment his body “collapsed into two.” Kate was mortified. Jennifer was doubled over laughing. The audience lost it.
The cast also talked about the emotional crash that comes after filming wraps. Kate avoided the usual post‑shoot depression only because she jumped straight into promoting a movie. Drew and Scott? Not so lucky. “We needed you guys,” Kate told Jennifer. “This is picking us back up.”

From there, the trio dove into rapid‑fire questions: • Kate admitted she recently pretended not to see an ex in public. • Drew addressed the internet comparing him to Jason Bateman. • Scott revealed his personal warning label: “Do not keep me up after midnight or get me wet.” • And everyone took turns shooting hoops to avoid answering — or to earn the right to answer — Jennifer’s questions.
By the end, the cast had roasted each other, relived their most chaotic moments, and proven exactly why Running Point works: they’re a dysfunctional family on‑screen because they’re a lovable, unhinged one off‑screen too.
