Show notes

Comedians Zach Zucker (Stamptown, Jack Tucker: Comedy Stand-Up Hour, Sweethearts) and David Magidoff (Dexter: Resurrection, The Morning Show, Fanaddicts) join Jameela to trade origin stories that should have ended their careers before they started - a WME rep watching a hometown show implode in real time, and a wedding toast that reopens the Civil War. Somewhere in between: cat allergies, lingering breakups, and the loneliest ring fingers in the business.

Show notes

Comedians Hanna Dickinson (Comedy Central Stand-Up Featuring, special on EPIX) and Zach Zimmerman ("Surprise Me" special, writing for The New Yorker) join Jameela to trade the stories you bury, not brag about: a near kidnapping story to put you off Ozempic, a hoagie that should've stayed in the trash, and a fog emoji break up strategy. Plus a listener story that was so close to a hook-up story with a hot Uber driver, right up until it wasn't.

Show notes

Comedians Laci Mosley (iCarly, A Black Lady Sketch Show, Scam Goddess) and Langston Kerman (Abbott Elementary, Bad Poetry, My Momma Told Me) join Jameela to trade tales of woe.

Langston confesses to accosting the wrong Black woman at one of Hollywood's most exclusive backyard parties, and Jameela shares the podcast guest scandal that taught her never to cover a living scammer again. Plus, listener Matt shares how a Memorial Day parade turned him into an accidental miracle in Misery Loves Company.
