In this episode of the “Pittsburgh Pop” podcast, host Tim Benz and TV Talk columnist Rob Owen discuss Pittsburgh pop culture news of the moment, including actor Steve Carell naming Pittsburgh one of the favorite places he’s visited on the “Office Ladies” podcast.

“I’m not saying that ironically, either. I’ve done a couple of movies there, and I liked it. It was a cool city,” Carell said on the podcast, referencing locally-filmed flicks “Last Flag Flying” (2017) and “Foxcatcher” (2014).

Owen and Benz also discuss Pittsburgh native Billy Porter’s appearance on this week’s episode of Jimmy Fallon’s prime-time celebrity game show “That’s My Jam” (10 p.m. Tuesday, WPXI-TV). Porter will bring his concert tour home to Pittsburgh May 28 at Heinz Hall.
