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!

Punched in the C*nt Nov 27, 2024

Show notes

This week, Busy talks about the harrowing emergency phone call she received just as she and Caissie were about to start taping the Busy This Week Season 1 finale, their Holiday Spectacular, for QVC+. They discuss their Thanksgiving plans and their lack of planning beyond that. Caissie doesn’t know what to get her sons for Christmas and Busy knows exactly what her kids want because they have some very interesting lists! Then, in middle of recording, Busy realizes that her holiday decorations were all put in storage by her former assistant and she’s not exactly sure where they are, if they’re still there or if they’ve been auctioned off like they do on Storage Wars.
