Ask Jillian

Hi, it’s Jillian Barberie and this is my podcast Ask Jillian. You might know me from Good Day LA or FOX NFL on Sunday, but I’m pretty sure it was Sharknado 4 where I was eaten alive! For years I was the one asking the questions on TV shows, radio interviews and Red Carpets but I’ve realized at this point in my life I’m the one that needs a lot of questions answered. I mean these last few years have been a doozy, at times I haven’t had a clue which way to go except simply forward. So I want to start on a journey with all of you. This is about having open and deep discussions with old friends and new ones about their lives, getting or even giving advice and having some laughs together. There will be celebs, experts in various fields and other very interesting characters from my life, we’re going to cover it all! I’ve never been known for playing it safe and I’m not starting now, no subject is off limits! Career. Marriage. Divorce.
Single Mom. Kids. Boyfriends (yeah I’ve got stories of some famous men). Adoption. Molestation. Finding my birth family. Makeup. Fashion. Design. Sex. Friendships. Cancer. My Truth! So let’s get started. Ask Jillian!

Show notes

Lisa Ashley is a makeup artist to the stars, business woman, baseball wife, mother and one of my all time best friends. I have talked about her on my podcast a lot and she’s finally here!
It was Lisa that pressured me to get my mammogram last year that discovered my breast cancer. She saved my life!
In this episode of Ask Jillian we discuss how we met at NFL on FOX, became inseparable, continued working together and have been great friends ever since.
Lisa has made her own way in Hollywood building an incredible list of clients. She worked with me on all the FOX shows including American Idol Extra and Skating with Celebrities. We’ve done commercials together, press tours and events, we have had a lot of laughs. Some of our work trips have also had a crazy side like in NYC for Howard Stern when we were out all night with Robin and Ralph and in New Orleans for the Super Bowl with our SWAT boyfriend/security.
Lisa’s husband is the fantastic and supportive, former Los Angeles Dodger Billy Ashley though we were never the best baseball wives! We were all on FOX’s Househusbands of Hollywood together.
Lisa has been an absolute treasure in my life and we’ve supported each other through it all!

Ep. 23 Nischelle Turner is a Broadcasting SuperSTAR! Jun 23, 2020

Show notes

Nischelle Turner is an Emmy award winning journalist for Entertainment Tonight, a CNN Contributor, a go getter, an advocate, and an incredibly supportive friend.
In this episode of Ask Jillian we discuss how Nischelle and I met at FOX’s Good Day LA, the fun we had working together and the challenges of being females in the broadcasting world.
I loved what Nischelle brought to the mix at GDLA and have been so excited to see her career blossom. From Nischelle’s first on air job in Indiana, to New Orleans, the NFL and now two prestigious jobs at CNN and Entertainment Tonight. We reminisce about how Entertainment Tonight was a dream job growing up watching it for both us and now Nischelle has made it a reality!
We talk about finding support and mentors in this tough industry, the ups and downs, missed opportunities, cancelled shows and the hard won victories along the way.
How we both grew up far from La La Land, Nischelle was raised by an amazing single mom on a farm in Missouri and the impact that had on her life.
Also what it’s like to find your community as transplants to LA and creating a home as single women. Nischelle just built her dream home, it sounds amazing! Hopefully I’ll get an invite soon to come over and toast all her successes!

Ep. 22 Mr. Malone aka Fagsy Malone is my brotherman! Jun 16, 2020

Show notes

Mr. Malone aka Fagsy Malone is a podcast host, artist, spiritual guide, and he’s one of my best most supportive friends. My brotherman! In this episode of Ask Jillian we talk about our relationship, the good and bad times we’ve shared and how there’s always been a lot of laughs.I met Mr. Malone with his BFF director Anne Fletcher at Sandra Bullock’s “All About Steve” movie premiere and became fast friends. Mr. Malone shares some of his unique dating stories, I had never heard of a double dick, didn’t think it existed but you learn something new everyday. Also we talk about when he worked at Disney World as a performer and reluctant character, he nailed Friar Tuck! Then our trip to Disney World together with my kids where we discovered Ruby had created her own new character Princess Rage, a classic villainess! Mr. Malone is an amazing artist. One of his animal portraits of my beloved Teddy is a treasured piece of art in my home. His face swapping and photoshopping skills on Instagram are hilarious and legendary, Barbra (and me) is one of his favorite subjects! We go into how Mr. Malone’s life took a new unexpected direction and he’s no longer doing art. From loss came a rebirth where he tapped into his gift of intuitionism and now gives automatic pen readings at The Crystal Shrine here in Los Angeles. His beloved mother, whose ashes he spread at a Target with Kristen Johnston, had the gift as well. Mr. Malone’s wit, charm and singing talent is featured as a co-host on Straight Talk with Ross Matthews and his own podcast It’s a Gay, Gay, Gay, Gay Podcast, they are both great! We had a lot to catch up on, it was incredible and inspiring to hear about how happy he is now, it gave me hope!

Ep. 21 Let's talk about Sleep Paralysis, because it sucks! Jun 09, 2020

Show notes

In this episode of Ask Jillian we talk about sleep paralysis. I mean can any of us sleep lately?!? I have recently suffered from sleep paralysis, it’s horrifying and debilitating. It’s caused by trauma, anxiety and depression which I have had all three plus what we are going through now as well. I experienced it at 12yrs old due to the trauma of sexual abuse then, now due to the aftermath of my breast cancer. It’s terrifying! I see a shadow man and can’t move which lasts about 3mins though feels like forever. I didn’t tell anyone I suffered from it as a child but when it started again a few months ago, I knew I had to get answers and help. Sweet dreams everyone!

I believed in Daniella’s talent the minute I met her. Her sense of style was so original and sexy! I have always supported women entrepreneurs, Daniella’s passion was contagious and I became a fan and friend.
Daniella tells the story of how she met her husband Rock ‘n’ Roll musician Gilby Clarke on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame and once they met she never went home.
Their marriage is inspirational, they have been together for 30+yrs and are still totally into each other … what is their secret?!?

Ep. 19 Let's talk about traveling Highs and Lows May 12, 2020

Show notes

In this episode of Ask Jillian we talk about traveling. My wilder days on girls trips, the crazy night Liz, Lisa and I had in Vegas for a charity event. How we got to see Stevie Nicks perform and barely made the flight home. We didn’t understand “wheels up” means they’ll leave without you! My NY trips for Howard Stern, partying with Robin and Ralph until the wee hours. Another time I was preggo and no one knew, but Howard and crew kept trying to get me to ride the sybian! That would never happen, pregnant or not! I couldn't party on that trip but my girlfriends did without me. How traveling with some friends is more fun than with others, I’m not uptight and when I'm on vacation I don’t want everything scheduled. Also how traveling with kids has its challenges. Nathan Fillion once saved me when Rocco was kinda out of control on a flight. Got to love a fellow Canadian!

In this episode of Ask Jillian we talk about being a single parent, its challenges and rewards.
My kids were 4 and half and not yet 3 when I got divorced, it’s been 7yrs since then of non-stop doing it as best I can. Being a single parent can look so many ways, its demands never end even if you have support or help. Liz also shares the story of her mother being a widow with 7 kids, you can have no choice. During the toughest times battling my breast cancer, my kids were my biggest cheerleaders but being Mom didn’t stop. I had to keep going. Ruby and Rocco are and will always be my reason to carry on!

Ep. 16 Housewives of True Crime talk serial killers - I’m a true fan! Apr 21, 2020

Show notes

Tabitha and Gretchen are the fantastic podcasters from Housewives of True Crime and they talk with me about serial killers in this episode. I’m a true fan of theirs!
They share my obsession with true crime and serial killers, though Liz does not - she is a scaredy cat! We talk about the Ken and Barbie killers, real life monsters who committed horrible crimes in my hometown in Canada when I was growing up. I’ve followed the story ever since because justice wasn’t served in my opinion. Tabitha and Gretchen did great research and we did a deep dive into all the details, including how one of the killers is walking free today! We also talk about other cases, serial killers and how true crime podcasts are (pun intended) killing it!

Show notes

Loren Ruch is an extraordinary producer for HGTV, fantastic host and most importantly one of my best friends! In this episode we talk about how we met in our early days at FOX Good Day LA, we had some incredible times! The stories of traveling together on our trips to Vegas first as Pamela Anderson's guest then to see Celine Dion, and how I reluctantly became a huge fan! Loren took me as his date to his High School Reunion that we turned into our own personal prom. Loren reminded me of a crazy drunk speech I gave at his wedding which I don’t recall at all but I do remember the hot braless dress I wore! Loren has worked on some fantastic HGTV projects, most recently the iconic Brady Bunch House in “A Very Brady Renovation” which was amazing! Also Liz, Loren and I reminisce about our karaoke history, it’s mostly embarrassing!
