Spike Lee
Dec 1701:21:50Tap to summarizeA Shockingly Authentic Sit-Down with Spike Lee. Spike Lee reveals himself in the most authentic, interactive interview you've seen with the legendary filmmaker (in my humble opinion). Awkward at times, hilarious at others, and authentic every single minute. Watch me figure out which way to go when Spike challenges me on everything like: - why Spike Lee is a tough nut to crack - Spike Lee's beef with Quentin Tarantino - Spike's childhood - Spike Lee's disappointment in the distribution of his new AppleTV movie Highest 2 Lowest - Regrets - Getting Fired (or not) - Therapy and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Joe Mantegna #3
Dec 1001:18:09Tap to summarizeJoe Mantegna says I probably know him better than any human after today's talk. So that means you know him better than most too (if you also caught our first two talks on Really Famous). The iconic actor opens up about his personal life, family, marriage, famous friends, regrets, business ventures and incredibly good perspective on life. We hit everything from Al Pacino and Diane Keaton to Fat Tony (The Simpsons), what Tom Hanks taught him on Bosom Buddies, and what you may be surprised to find out. It's Joe, the real deal.

Margaret Cho
Dec 301:02:47Tap to summarizeIconic comic Margaret Cho opens up about her real life off the stand-up comedy stage, including an intervention coordinated by friends, the two years she spent in rehab and the deaths she witnessed along the way. Plus she reveals details about her cats, their catio, hobo men who show up on your doorstep, what her therapist told her, and inside scoop on the comedians she knows (or knew) well and several sweeping statements about comedians that are quite fascinating.

Steve Zahn from London!
Nov 1901:13:31Tap to summarizeI break a couple of hard fast rules of mine for Steve Zahn because it's his 3rd time on the podcast and we're in a groove. And he's in London. Also, I'm obsessed with season one of The White Lotus and must discuss it with him, as well as share my honest thoughts on where the series went from there. Find out which rules I broke and why Sean Penn comes up twice in this talk. Then go find Steve's new film, SHE DANCES, starring Steve and his daugher Audrey Zahn. Steve wrote it with his creative partner Rick Gomez and it also stars Steve's friend Ethan Hawke. It was recently at the Tribeca Film Festival and it's a beautiful film.

Tim Daly #7
Nov 1201:34:36Tap to summarizeThat's right, 7. It's Tim Daly's 7th time on Really Famous, but it's our 1st time doing it in Los Angeles instead of New York. So it's different. Oh and also, Tim is married now. To Téa Leoni, who played his wife on the popular TV series Madam Secretary. Today, like always, Tim Daly doesn't holds back with me. At this point, it's two friends getting together, where the beans are spilled every time. Tim, who's also known for Wings, The Sopranos, Private Practice and the new Netflix series Leanne, opens up about marrying Téa Leoni, their secret wedding, their even more secret honeymoon and the marriage pact they made together. Plus Tim reflects on his mother's alcoholism and his surprising story of resilience, his regrets about what he told his children about divorce, and how gratitude and perspective are a key part of his life.
