Busy Philipps is Doing Her Best

It’s me, your friend Busy Philipps! My creative partner Caissie St. Onge & I love making things that we believe people need & will love & we’ve had so many plans. We had plans to do a TV show that would shake up late night! And we think it kinda did! For six months. We adored our genius, scrappy creative team at “Busy Tonight” as much as we loved our audience, so when we broke the news that we’d been canceled, we vowed to get back up & make even bigger plans to invent a whole new way of doing things in the entertainment biz, to reunite our beautiful staff & change the game for everyone! An entertainment Utopia! And we were so close, then…the world changed. Now those plans are, at the very least, on hold. So, we’ve shifted gears, like everyone has had to, & with our friends, we’re just doing our best, taking it slow & talking to fascinating friends about how *they* are doing *their* best. They’ll tell us all about those times in their lives when a setback actually led to the right thing. Maybe it was a job that didn’t pan out, but opened the door to an even more perfect one, or maybe it’s how they studied for years to do the thing they thought was their calling, only to fall into something else that felt like kismet. The thing is, we want to share those moments because right now EVERYBODY is having one of those moments. Maybe we’ll all learn something life-changing or maybe we’ll just have a conversation where we break down in tears, then laugh at ourselves for crying. Whatever happens, we can assure you, Busy Philipps is Doing Her Best!

To What End??? Jan 26, 2022

Show notes

This week has felt like a year and Busy and Caissie are talking through the pain, remembering Louie Anderson and others who left us too soon this week. TW: suicide. The women go extremely deep on how certain media platforms work and why they believe misinformation is allowed to go unchecked. They talk about social media, trolls, and gaslighting and grooming in light of a Medium piece that went viral this week. They discuss the book, “Conflict is Not Abuse” which neither of them has read, but everyone was talking about online. And Busy shares that at which she is doing her best, while Caissie amends a past “best” that she thinks may work better for her than the original way she tried it.

Then, Busy’s former LMU classmate & the showrunner of “One Day at a Time,” Gloria Calderón Kellett stops by to talk about her new project “With Love” on Amazon, and what it was like working with Busy’s kid, Birdie, on the show!
