During the conversation, Williams discussed his upcoming Broadway debut, which will require him to bare all for his role in the play “Take Me Out”.

“Yeah, I’m really excited,” Williams said, revealing they were three weeks into rehearsal when the pandemic hit and “we had to abandon ship.”

“There’s also a part in the play you’re gonna be getting naked on stage, I understand,” tWitch offered.

“What?” said Williams in mock surprise. “Yeah, I got the memo… yeah, the character does call for a little bit of nudity, so you know, what I will say about that is it’s terrifying in all the right ways. I’m looking to be challenged in all the right ways.”
