(ORIGINAL SERIES) Performing “Don’t Give Up” by Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush in the premiere episode of HBO’s “Somebody Somewhere” almost proved to be too much for series star Bridget Everett. In the half-hour comedy that premieres Sunday, Jan. 16, the actress, stand-up comic and singer stars as Sam, a rudderless 40-something struggling with the death of one sister, an adversarial relationship with another (Mary Catherine Garrison, “Veep”) and just trying to fit in in her Kansas community.
