• Phaedra Parks is Back with “The Real Housewives of Atlanta”
    May 12 2026
    It’s insane how many hats Phaedra Parks wears in her day-to-day life: She’s lawyer, a mother, a mortician, a reiki master healer just to name a few, as well as being one of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” (new episodes air Sundays at 8pm ET/PT on Bravo and streaming the next day on Peacock). Phaedra tells me all about the new cast members on Season 17, what some of her first impressions of them were, and what we can expect from this group of demure, southern ladies. Oh, and we totally bond over war stories about being a couple of Boy Moms. This is another Hurrdat Media Production.

  • Met Gala Hits, Misses, and WTF Moments
    May 5 2026
    On this week’s episode of a very special Group Text, I dive headfirst into the spectacle, drama, and downright chaos of the Met Gala red carpet. From showstoppers to looks that left everyone scrambling for explanations, I’m naming names on who understood the assignment and who completely missed the mark. It’s the kind of unfiltered takes you’d only share in a real group chat. If you thought you saw it all, think again—I've got receipts. You’re welcome. This is another Hurrdat Media Production.

  • Dan Bucatinsky on “The Comeback” Coming Back for Season Three
    Apr 28 2026
    On the third and final season of “The Comeback” (now streaming; new episodes air Sundays on HBO), Dan Bucatinsky plays publicist-turned-manager-turned-producing partner Billy Stanton to Lisa Kudrow’s Valerie Cherish. Dan also serves as the series’ executive producer alongside Kudrow, and he joins me to talk about what made him want to return to Valerie’s cringeworthy orbit; his origin story meeting friend and business partner, Kudrow; how “The Comeback” predicted major entertainment industry hurdles facing actors and writers; and some of the roles that got away from him as an actor.

  • Jennie Garth is Being Selfish…and That’s a Good Thing
    Apr 21 2026
    Jennie Garth played the popular and resilient character Kelly Taylor for 10 seasons on “Beverly Hills 90210” and spoke the line, “I choose me,” when faced with an angst-ridden on-screen love triangle between herself, Jason Priestly and Luke Perry. Those iconic words reverberated with Jennie for decades and provided the title for her new memoir, I Choose Me (now available). Jennie talks to me about what putting herself first really means; feeling comfortable in her self-reflection and examination; raising three daughters and living to tell the tale, and how she felt finally watching “90210” for her podcast, “9021-OMG Rewatch.” This is another Hurrdat Media Production.

  • Morgan Neville on making “Lorne”
    Apr 14 2026
    In his new documentary, “Lorne” (in theaters April 17th), director Morgan Neville dives deep into the career of Lorne Michaels who in 1975 created “Saturday Night Live,” and serves as the show’s executive producer to this day. The only problem was, a documentary about him was the last thing Lorne Michaels wanted. Morgan talks to me about what it took to get to heart of Lorne Michael’s career and persona; how making “Lorne” was a bit like making a nature documentary; where his filmmaking inspiration comes from, and how he gained access to some of Lorne Michaels’ most private and sacred spaces.

  • Scott Wolf is Playing Doctor
    Mar 24 2026
    In his latest role on “Doc,” (Tuesdays at 9/8c on Fox, streaming the next day on Hulu) Scott Wolf plays Dr. Richard Miller, an accidental villain determined to cover up a lethal medical mistake and pin it on his colleague who has partially lost her memory in a near-fatal car crash.
