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!

Guest: Aparna Nancherla “Happy Busy New Year” Oct 25, 2023

Show notes

It’s Caissie’s 25th wedding anniversary and while she’s not doing the best job of celebrating it, Busy IS celebrating the one year anniversary of the day she fell down her stairs and almost died. The downward spiral she’s been experiencing since has her wondering if she fell through some kind of portal that she’s just now coming out of. In fact, she’s calling for the new year to start immediately. Then, comedian, actor and author, Aparna Nancherla, pops by to talk about her new book “Unreliable Narrator” and without even knowing portals had already been discussed, also talks about her brush with a portal to another dimension. Was it all a freaky coincidence? You tell us!
