Chelsie Hill
Wednesday, October 29, 2025 • Duration 01:08:02
A raw, open talk with professional dancer and pioneering voice for disability representation Chelsie Hill about finding yourself, being the person you want to be, trauma, loss, how to process trauma - one step at a time - and how to turn adversity into triumph and the struggles it entails.
Join me as I have a heart-to-heart with Chelsie.
Check out Chelsie's organization, Rollettes, an internationally recognized wheelchair dance team and empowerment collective.
Julian McMahon was a regular on Really Famous. And I'm grateful for our talks. Julian died earlier this week.
When I think of Julian, I smile. I laugh. All good things. He was fun, open-minded, inquisitive, up for whatever, whether it was coming back on my podcast for a third time - but this time to interview me - or doing an impromptu dance with me on the Malibu Pier just so I'd have something fun to share on social media. The best approach to life, in my humble opinion. He loved it all. Life. Work. Entertainment. Family. People. I think you'll agree.
This is my tribute to him – simply replaying the first three episodes we did together. We did a fourth, sort of, but you'll have to go to my YouTube channel – https://www.YouTube.com/ReallyFamous – to see it. It wasn't a formal podcast episode. It was a catch-up video we made in 2023 when we met up in California.

Skip Bayless
Tuesday, March 9, 2021 • Duration 01:30:26
Skip Bayless and I get to topics big and small!
Skip, of course, is an award-winning journalist, author and TV personality. He hosts the sports opinion and debate show Skip and Shannon: Undisputed with Shannon Sharpe, and was previously on ESPN's Cold Pizza and First Take.
Fun fact! Skip's brother is the talented and well-known chef Rick Bayless.
Skip and I met through his wife, Ernestine Sclafani Bayless, who just published a book called Balls: How to Keep Your Relationship Alive When You Live with a Sports-Obsessed Guy, which has a chapter written by Skip and contributions from some of their celebrity friends, like Michael Rapaport and Billy Bob Thornton.
In my wide-ranging talk with this total interviewing pro (who this time was the guest rather than the interviewer), we get into:
His fascinating journey to becoming a huge TV sports guy
Behind-the-scenes dish on his TV shows, Undisputed (weekdays on Fox Sports 1), First Take and Cold Pizza.
Oklahoma, Texas, California, New York, Connecticut and Tennessee
Shannon Sharpe, Michael Jordan, Joe Namath, Mark Shapiro, Dick Schaap and other interesting people in the business
Lucky breaks
A teacher who he'll never forget
Growing up with two alcoholic parents
His difficult childhood
What his parents and his childhood did to help him become who he is today

Kathleen Rose Perkins

Netflix is making Episodes even bigger than it was on Showtime. Are you watching?
Actor Kathleen Rose Perkins (Episodes, Rules of Engagement, Grey's Anatomy) puts it all out there, warts and all. And that's a good thing! She's had major setbacks and isn't afraid to talk about them. As she talks about religion, anxiety, abortion and getting fired, you'll see the real, raw, authentic human being that she is. Just like we all are, really.
This is a classic episode - from the very beginning of Really Famous. 2017!
