It was Josie Adams who suggested that her dad, Tony Shalhoub, should write a food memoir and, voila, the result is their new book “We Thought They’d Never Leave” (available October 27th). The father-daughter duo joins Melissa Rivers to discuss how working together has strengthened their relationship, Josie’s journey into food writing, and the family stories that inspired their book. Tony also recalls how his father negotiated bulk grocery prices to feed their family of 12 in Green Bay, Wisconsin, and reveals which of his beloved films only happened because Josie gave it her stamp of approval.

Daisy Kelliher comes from a long line of seafaring yachties, so it was a no-brainer for her to assume the role of Chief Stew when she was asked to be on “Below Deck Sailing Yacht” for four fun-and-drama-filled seasons. Daisy is now hitting the Caribbean with Captain Jason on season five of “Below Deck Down Under” (new episodes air Mondays 8pm ET/PT on Bravo, streaming the next day on Peacock). Daisy chats with me about the shipboard romances she’s had – ahem, Gary and Colin; the absolute chaos surrounding her first Down Under charter guests: the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City; which stews and deckhands would make up her “fantasy football” yacht crew, and some of the scandals we never got to see. 00:00 Daisy Kelliher Joins Group Text01:30 Being the Eldest Child & Control03:30 Why We Don’t See Funny Daisy on TV06:10 How Daisy Ended Up on Below Deck08:20 Saying Goodbye to Sailing Yacht10:00 Facing Ben, Joao & a New Crew11:30 RHOSLC Boards the Yacht (Chaos Begins)13:40 When a Crew Member Quits Immediately15:00 What Seasickness Really Looks Like16:45 How Real Yachting Differs From TV18:10 Daisy vs Chef Ben Escalates20:00 Captain Jason, Flirting & Bravo Rumors24:50 Haircut, Heartbreak & Daisy 2.029:40 Dream Below Deck Crew33:45 Yacht Hookups & Real Scandals36:00 Yacht Mess Podcast37:50 Will Daisy Ever Walk Away?

When Jenn Lyon was offered the role of cheer coach Courteney on NBC’s mockumentary series, “Stumble,” (new episodes Fridays at 8:30/7:30c & streaming the next day on Peacock) it was almost too good to be true. Jenn was obsessed with the Netflix “Cheer” documentary upon which “Stumble” is based, and she had been a JV cheerleader herself back in the day. Jenn is hilarious and talks to me about her roots in sketch comedy; her favorite mockumentary shows and movies; the perils of clip-on bangs, and her delusions of grandeur before making it big in showbiz. 00:00 Beanies, Clip-On Bangs & Suffering 01:40 Mockumentaries & Christopher Guest Obsession 03:00 JV Cheer in North Carolina (Barely Survived) 04:55 What Stumble Is Really About 06:30 Hidden Jokes & Easter Eggs on Set 08:10 Improvising vs Scripted Comedy 09:45 Working with Taran Killam 14:30 Larry David on Broadway 16:50 Stunt Doubles & “Stunt Triples” 19:10 Moving to NYC with Delusional Confidence 21:15 Getting Beat Up as a Moose 23:00 Early YouTube Comedy Days 27:45 True Crime, Dateline & Cult Podcasts 32:50 Losing Everything in the Fire 36:30 Dreaming of Being Murdered on Law & Order This is another Hurrdat Media Production.

The “Southern Charm” (Wednesdays at 9/8c on Bravo; streaming the next day on Peacock) star drops in to talk about keeping her cool while the cameras are rolling; the highs of BravoCon; the Season 11 “friend triangle” involving her, Salley and Craig; all the messiness surrounding the Season 10 reunion show; what she does with fan phone numbers; and whether a second, even longer date with Carl Radke is in the cards.

One year after the Palisades fires, I take a moment to reflect on what this past year has truly been like. From moving forward in a disciplined way while grief quietly shows up during the holidays, to living in a new house that doesn’t yet feel like home, this episode is an honest look at loss, resilience, and survival. I share the unexpected moments that hit hardest, the frustration of watching others stay stuck, my first real panic attack, and the small ways I’ve begun to rebuild. This isn’t a neat ending, just the reality of learning how to keep going. This is another Hurrdat Media Production.

The number one chief stew and secretive baby momma joins me to talk about attending this year’s BravoCon; representing the NFL with her new football commentary series, “Reality Hot Seat”; recollecting all the insane, near-death, and cringeworthy “Below Deck” moments she experienced, and how being chief stew on million-dollar yachts prepared her for motherhood.

In the early 90’s, at the height of the infomercial craze, Susan Powter’s “Stop the Insanity” program of weight loss and nutrition was worth $276 million, equal to over half a billion dollars today. A new documentary from filmmaker Zeberiah Newman entitled “Stop the Insanity: Finding Susan Powter” (available Dec. 9 on Apple TV, Prime Video, and other platforms) examines what happened to the motivational icon after walking away from fame. Susan joins me to talk about the origins of “Stop the Insanity”; falling into poverty and struggling to make ends meet; making a horrible deal with producers, which left her fighting for control of her own name; and how much of her identity was wrapped up into that spiky blond buzzcut.
