Make Your Life Your Art with Phil Rosenthal (Everybody Loves Raymond, Somebody Feed Phil)
Season 3 · Episode 4
Tuesday, June 4, 2024 • Duration 01:14:41
Your creative voice comes from your identity and experiences. So it's only natural that creative geniuses like Everybody Loves Raymond creator Phil Rosenthal mine their own lives for their work. He's been fortunate enough to tread a path that few get to follow.
Phil has garnered a cult like following for his Netflix series SOMEBODY FEED PHIL, which released it’s seventh season on Netflix on March 1. In the series, Phil takes viewers with him as he travels and discovers new cities through culture, people, and most importantly, food, in a way that is fresh, digestible, funny, and truly makes you want to visit that city. Phil has had tourism boards across the globe tell him that his show has directly impacted the growth of tourism in each of the cities he has visited. In Phil’s words, “if everybody could experience a little bit of each other’s experiences, the world would be a better place.” He is one of those rare people who folks gravitate towards as if he was an old friend that they’ve known their whole life. The interactions fans have with Phil is like groupies of a rock band, except its men, women, kids, grandparents, and everyone alike, all approaching Phil about their experiences with travel and food. Following a resounding call from fans, he created a companion book, Somebody Feed Phil The Book, which was released in October 2022. He followed this up with a new children’s book he created with his daughter, Lily, called: JUST TRY IT: A Phil and Lil Book, a hilarious picture book geared towards young children about a food-loving dad encouraging his picky eater daughter to just try something new which released March 2024. Both books immediately hit the New York Times Best Seller list. Phil is also currently wrapping up his second 25-city tour, with upcoming shows across California and Arizona. Phil’s heartwarming live show unites families just the way Phil’s original series EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND did over 20 years ago. Phil is one of those rare people who folks gravitate towards as if he was an old friend that they’ve known their whole life. The interactions fans have with Phil are like groupies of a rock band, except its men, women, kids, and grandparents, all approaching Phil about their experiences with travel and food and making Phil’s favorite saying, “food is the great human connector”, come to life.
