Making Grandmas Proud (with Nate Bargatze) Mar 01, 2023

Show notes

Nate Bargatze has been called “The Nicest Guy in Stand-Up” and honestly? The rumors are true. Nate tells me how he started doing clean comedy, and the time he tried to copy a style of comedy that really wasn’t him. Plus, we talk about the power of (spoiler) just being a nice person in your work.

Writing Rom Coms (with Holmes) Feb 22, 2023

Show notes

Holmes makes being off-the-cuff funny look easy. She got her start being hilarious on Tik Tok and Twitter before starring in Paul Feig’s “Welcome to Flatch.” Now, she wants to create TV shows that provide more representation. Holmes talks to me about falling in love in an escape room, and we bond over being Midwesterners.

Putting Myself in Timeout (with Aparna Nancherla) Feb 15, 2023

Show notes

You know when you meet someone and just vibe instantly? That was me and comedian and actress Aparna Nancherla. She talks about writing a book on imposter syndrome (spoiler alert: it doesn’t just go away) and how it led her to turn down a Netflix special. Plus, Aparna shares her decision to stop touring and why her latest acting role in “The Drop” was a big leap.

Spilling the Chili (with Brian Baumgartner) Feb 08, 2023

Show notes

Long before Brian Baumgartner became known as Kevin from “The Office,” he worked in theater just trying to bring in enough for rent. But within a few months of moving to L.A., he found himself auditioning for the role that would change his life. Brian talks with me about the long audition process and how he developed a backstory for his character (Kevin can’t rotate at his hips!) Plus, we talk chili recipes.

Being Uncomfortable (with Kevin Jonas) Feb 01, 2023

Show notes

I can’t stop thinking about how Kevin Jonas is on my podcast all because I spilled some butter on fancy pants. It’s crazy. While this situation seems straight out of a fantasy, Kevin and I have a really grounded conversation about growing up in a tight-knit family, and how he learned to break the people-pleasing habit. He also shares why he thinks the Jonas Brothers’ upcoming album will be their best one yet.

Welcoming You to the Show Jan 25, 2023

I didn't think a photo of me in my pajamas would be in Times Square, but that's what happened last week. This podcast was on a billboard in New York City! If you just heard about the show and are new here, I want to point you to a few of my favorite episodes. By the way, we’ll have a brand new episode for you next Wednesday.

Deconstructing Memes (with Penn Badgley) Jan 18, 2023

Show notes

Penn Badgley is warm, kind, and incredibly thoughtful – fortunately, the exact opposite of his character in the Netflix series “You.” As someone who’s been acting since he was a child, Penn shares his views on Hollywood and what it means to be an actor. He also talks about why he initially turned down the role of Dan Humphrey in “Gossip Girl” and discusses the similarities between Dan and Joe from “You.”

Starting a TikTok Trend (with Moses Storm) Jan 11, 2023

Show notes

Moses Storm has led a crazy life. The comedian and actor tells me about growing up in his family’s “failed” cult, living in a bus with his five siblings, and eventually meeting his hero Conan O’Brien on a rooftop that smelled like tapas. We also talk about the making of his first comedy special, “Trash White,” which has his fingerprints all over it – literally.

One of My Faves: Hitting Singles (with Office Ladies) Jan 04, 2023

Show notes

I thought I peaked when they played my song “Whispers in the Breakroom” on their podcast. But oh no. It just got better. Angela Kinsey and Jenna Fischer (aaaaah!!!), The Office Ladies, are my very special guests this week. They tell me about becoming friends over a partition, the hard years before their big break, and why they won’t stop talking about their time on “The Office.” Plus, Jenna shares a hot tip on how to meet celebrities at fancy events.

One of My Faves: Overthinking My First Talent Show (with Lance Bass) Dec 21, 2022

Show notes

Please enjoy this encore episode of one of my favorite conversations. I did a podcast with my childhood crush and favorite member of NSYNC, and only freaked out a few times. The incredible Lance Bass tells me about growing up while performing with NSYNC. As a closeted teen, Lance had to hide a lot about himself. But no longer – Lance lives proudly as his true self with his husband and two children. Plus, he invites me to Disney World and all I can think about is eating a turkey leg.
