The other day I was making lemonade with my sons, Beckett and Sully, and Beckett is a little bit of a perfectionist. I'm not sure where he gets that from. It's me. It's definitely me.

I have two kids under five, two dogs, a husband, a busy career. And I also just added another thing to my to do list. Hosting on Airbnb. Now, to be honest, I haven't yet pulled the trigger because I'm getting a little overwhelmed with everything I would need to do to be on top of everything. As a host, I'd want to put gorgeous photos up to show off the amazing space. I would want to make sure that I'm as responsive as possible to guests and anticipate any questions or needs they might have. You know, you gotta get those good reviews. Plus, I gotta make sure that the house is in tip top shape, linens are clean, everything is pristine for when they arrive. See, I'm. I'm already tired just thinking about it. It's like a part time job. That's why I'm so excited about Airbnb's new co host feature. Now I can hire a local co host to handle all the details while I'm away. They can create my listing, manage reservations, communicate with guests, and even style my space. So it's perfect for every guest. It's like having a trusted friend who's really good at this stuff. Just take care of everything. I can focus on my family and my work, knowing that my home and my guests are in great hands. Find a co host@airbnb.com host hi, it's Jesse today on the show.

There are a lot of auditions for that. And the thrill for me was one of the actors walked in and went, oh, and you're here. Great, perfect. And I went, oh, my God.

This is Dinner's on Me. And I'm your host, Jesse Tyler Ferguson. In 2006, I was cast in my first sitcom, a one season show called the Class. Now, I love to prepare as much as I possibly can for roles and I didn't really know what to do to prepare for a job I had never done before. I mean, this was my first TV job. So to feel like I was doing something, I bought the first season of the sitcom Friends on dvd. As a fan of the show, I, of course, had seen every episode multiple times. But I wanted to rewatch those actors again in the first season of what would be the job that would change all of their lives. I mean, those six actors, those brilliant actors, all of them are just icons to me. But Lisa Kudrow, with her offbeat choices and quirky character traits was just really up my alley. Her comedy just resonated with me. When she was on camera, I leaned just a tad closer to try and figure out how she was doing what she was doing. I loved her so much as Phoebe on Friends, but then her performance as Valerie Cherish in the inspired Hollywood reality series satire the Comeback, Lisa somehow topped herself. It's not an overstatement to say that she is one of my all time comedy icons now. I've had the great pleasure of getting to work with her a little bit, once as a guest star on the very funny web series Web Therapy. Also, she's the producer of the show who do youo Think youk Are? Which I was lucky enough to be a part of. But I hadn't ever really had a chance to sit down and spend some quality time with her. I think my instincts were that she's not the type of person who likes to be fawned over excessively. And I think my instincts are correct. So I was both excited and a tad nervous about having a meal with someone whose work I respected so greatly.
