Celebrity interview by Kara Mayer Robinson.

Music - Take a Chance by Kevin MacLeod - incompetech - Creative Commons

Tony Goldwyn (actor, director, writer, who you may know as President Fitz Grant on Scandal or Patrick Swayze's so-called friend on Ghost) is super authentic, honest + deep.

Listen in and you'll see...

You'll hear about:

• Hollywood, showbiz, lies, smoke and mirrors
• Tony's Broadway show, Network, with pal Bryan Cranston
• Anecdotes, childhood stories and tangents of all kinds
• Wanting to feel more fabulous
• Survival skills camp
• An intense confrontation that cured Tony of a certain impulse
• Acting, directing, selling yourself and creating backstories for characters
• Developing a thick skin
• Struggling to get acting roles
• All the people who told him he's underrated - or should hang it up
• Reading bad reviews
• Reading good reviews
• Ghost
• Dexter
• Scandal
• Shonda Rhimes, Kerry Washington and Bellamy Young

Hang out with us for an hour. You'll feel like you really know Tony Goldwyn. And you'll have a few laughs. And you'll feel better about your own self-doubt (if you have any, that is.)

SWEET!

Steve Zahn (Reality Bites, Friends, That Thing You Do, Sahara, Saving Silverman, Dallas Buyers Club, Suburbia...) is so fun onscreen that he's kinda the best thing about every movie he's in. Or at least every scene.

Last spring, Steve was in town for the Brooklyn Film Festival, where his short film, I'm No Holiday, written and directed by his friend and fellow actor Rick Gomez, was screening.

So I met him in Williamsburg. We set up the voice recorder. And later, a camera. (You can see him and me do a funny video with random questions at YouTube.com/reallyfamous.) Here's the result.

You'll hear about:

• He laughs at which movies and TV shows I watched to "research" him
• How Ben Stiller "discovered" him
• Reality Bites
• Friends
• Shattered Glass
• Saving Silverman
• Theater acting
• Bonding with Ethan Hawke
• The 5 people he still keeps in touch with, which includes a few phenomenal (and famous) actors
• The timeless magic of That Thing You Do
• Tom Hanks
• Face Deals (stay tuned!)
• Auditioning
• The American Repertory Theater, aka The ART Institute at Harvard University
• Self-tape, or doing auditions at home and uploading them to Vimeo
• His wife, successful writer Robyn Peterman
• Social media, marketing and live tweeting
• Luck vs. hard work
• Being recognized
• The White House Correspondents' Dinner
• Being a farmer
• Compassion
• Being real
• The theater of politicians
• Beavis and Butthead
• Mike Judge

Actor Rhea Seehorn plays Kim Wexler on Better Call Saul, the prequel to Breaking Bad that's having a STELLAR 5th season. And Rhea is FRONT AND CENTER.

Kim and I first met a few months ago, when we were both invited to sit on a panel about women in media at the Digital Hollywood conference. When we met, I knew instantly I liked her and wanted to get to know her better, so I invited her on the show.

Fast forward a few months. Kim comes to New York and we record this episode -- at Sardi's, the iconic Broadway restaurant. (Shoutout to Sardi's and my friend Beth.)

"I'm an emotional person," says actor/comedian Michael Rapaport. If you've seen him on TV and movies - Friends, Black-ish, Louie, Atypical, Mighty Aphrodite - you may know this.

Michael stopped by the studio in 2018 and revealed all sorts of reasons he gets emotional. It's a classic #ReallyFamous episode.

Listen in - and buckle up! - for his thoughts on acting, sports, teenage boys, divorce, therapy and more.

Warning: Michael's not a clean-language kind of guy.

Michael Imperioli is back for a 3rd time on Really Famous. This time we did it in front of an audience of friends, family and fans of Really Famous and Michael. It was A BLAST. I loved it. There's a lot to explain, and I do it in the intro. Enjoy.

Here, a sample of interesting things Michael says during the show:

• "I got really addicted to the news. Then at some point I realized, 'Oh wow…they really want you to be addicted. They're a business. They want you to sit there as long as possible.'"
• "I question all those things. I don't know. It disturbs me."
• "I open doors for women. If someone has a problem with it and they tell me, then I won't do it anymore. And that's ok."
• "Talking about my career ... I've done that a lot of times, but actually going somewhere and talking about how we view the world is really interesting and engaging."
• "I don't like looking back so much. I really like looking forward. Like if I'm on a train facing the wrong way, I'll get sick."
• "David Chase actually said he doesn't think there would be The Sopranos if there wasn't Goodfellas."
• "As important as your relationship with your teacher is, the relationships you make with people of like mind is very important."

We talk about so much. It's real. Join us.

Celebrity interview by Kara Mayer Robinson.

Music - Take a Chance by Kevin MacLeod - incompetech - Creative Commons

I'm kicking off 2020 with a guest who inspires me – and I think will inspire you. I love her perspective, approach to life, insight and authenticity.

Daisy is the host of a new TV show on NBC called A New Leaf, sponsored by Ancestry.com with executive producer Robin Samuels.

Back in the day, Daisy was a hugely popular MTV VJ. Ever since, she's been all over television. She was the host of House of Style, America's Funniest Home Videos, Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve, her own CNBC talk show called Daisy ... I can go on and on.

Daisy has had an extraordinary life trajectory. She started as a model, accidentally scored a last-minute gig presenting the weather on Telemundo, and pretty much everything blew up from there. We talk about all that, and more.

Like:

• ancestry and DNA testing (hers, mine + other people's)
• how she learned to take advantage of opportunties
• becoming a successful entrepreneur
• making her parents proud
• fame
• social media (really nice fan interactions vs. trolls)
• how Martha Quinn set her up with Richard Marx
• her dating + marriage story with husband Richard Marx
• the universe's little messages
• the law of attraction
• how she envisioned her life, and what actually happened
• fear
• love
• family
• New Jersey

Check your local listings for A New Leaf.

Danny Aiello was a gift to us all. I'll be forever grateful for the time I had with him. I found out months later that this talk was his final interview. I hope you enjoy it. Danny was spectacular.

From 2019:

Moonstruck, Do the Right Thing + The Godfather Part 2 actor Danny Aiello and I can't stop talking. And it's GREAT FUN.

We sit down in Long Island, as he's shooting a brand-new film from Deirdre O'Connor called One Moment (coming soon!).

We talk + talk + talk ... about things like:

• Leonardo DiCaprio
• Spike Lee
• James Gandolfini
• Martin Scorsese
• Robert De Niro
• Marlon Brando
• Bradley Cooper
• Harvey Keitel
• Tim Roth
• Samuel L. Jackson
• Social media
• Why he can't take a compliment
• Regrets
• Insecurities
• Family

I analyze him. He says, "You're my new therapist!"

He calls me things like "kid," "babe," and "honey" and I absolutely love it. We're buddies. It's like we've known each other all our lives.

Enjoy my friend Danny Aiello!

Celebrity interview by Kara Mayer Robinson.

Music - Take a Chance by Kevin MacLeod - incompetech - Creative Commons

Marilu Henner (Taxi, Evening Shade, Grease, Chicago) and I talk a mile a minute about EVERYTHING, from her incredible memory (it's called HSAM, or highly superior autobiographical memory) to party games to family to dating John Travolta and a few Taxi co-stars.

Such fun!

We crossed paths in New York City for just a few hours, so we went for it! On a recent Saturday night, we got together and knew our willingness (on both sides) to do this on the fly, between flights to and from Los Angeles, was a sign we'd have a really cool conversation. And we did.

Enjoy!

Henry Winkler joined me for a special VIDEO episode of Really Famous. (Catch it at YouTube.com/ReallyFamous.)

I realize you may not be into that, so today I'm running it as a podcast episode. It's shorter than usual, and doesn't meander the way I like my podcast conversations to, so I paired it with my Marion Ross conversation from earlier this year, for a more satisfying experience!

Here you go.

  • Night Shift
  • The Lords of Flatbush
  • Adam Sandler movies
• A successful children's book author, with books like:
  • Alien Superstar
  • The Hank Zipzer series
  • Here's Hank
• Hollywood's "nicest guy"
• A dad and a grandpa
• A fan of current TV shows, actors and singers
• A thoughtful, introspective man
• Fun to hug (you'll know what I mean if you stay tuned til the end)

Who's Marion Ross, you ask?

Ha!

• Mrs. Cunningham
• Mrs. C
• Marion Cunningham
• A major role model (I was SO inspired by her. You'll see why when you listen.)

I talk about Digital Hollywood in my intro. Here's what's up:

• I was nominated for an award. VOTE HERE.
• I'm doing a live stage mini version of Really Famous on Thursday, Nov. 14, at the Skirball Center in LA.
• My guest will be Patrick Fabian from Better Call Saul.

From The Brady Bunch.

I met Chris at his beautiful beach home in Southern California (check it out here).

I met his wife, Cara, and his cat, Titus. Then Chris and I sat down for a long time. He told me about how he got into show business, how the Brady Bunch environment saved him, in a way, from his not-so-perfect home life, and why his relationship with Kara is evidence that he's now in a healthy place.

And yes, he shares tons of behind-the-scenes Brady Bunch scoop! Like who provoked who. And what REALLY happened between Barry Williams and Florence Henderson.

You'll hear about:

• Why his dad wanted him to audition for The Brady Bunch
• Why his mom didn't like the show
• Robert Reed's disappointment
• Issues with his mom
• Growing up in the Valley
• Why and how he made Maureen McCormick cry
• Why he deserted acting
• Australia
• Mike Lookinland and Utah
• Being a leaf in the river
• His marriages
• How his real family and his Brady family conflicted
• Major life lessons
• Reality TV (The Surreal Life and My Fair Brady) and why he did it

Celebrity interview by Kara Mayer Robinson.

Music - Take a Chance by Kevin MacLeod - incompetech - Creative Commons

Last episode's cliffhanger re: Marlon Brando is now resolved. Get ready. But that's NOT ALL. There's a very surprising story (to me, at least) in this part of our talk.

Don't forget about Danny's a brand-new film from Deirdre O'Connor called One Moment (coming soon!).

Danny and I talk + talk + talk ... about things like:

• Leonardo DiCaprio
• Spike Lee
• James Gandolfini
• Martin Scorsese
• Robert De Niro
• Marlon Brando
• Bradley Cooper
• Harvey Keitel
• Tim Roth
• Samuel L. Jackson
• Social media
• Why he can't take a compliment
• Regrets
• Insecurities
• Family

I analyze him. He says, "You're my new therapist!"

He calls me things like "kid," "babe," and "honey" and I absolutely love it. We're buddies. It's like we've known each other all our lives.

Enjoy Part 2 with my friend Danny Aiello!

Celebrity interview by Kara Mayer Robinson.

Music - Take a Chance by Kevin MacLeod - incompetech - Creative Commons

National Lampoon's Vacation turned actress Beverly D'Angelo into an American icon. She played Ellen Griswold, Chevy Chase's wife, of course. But that's just part of the story.

I sit down with Bev at her Los Angeles home to talk about all the other things in her life.

(And let's not forget Annie Hall, Any Which Way But Loose, Coal Miner's Daughter, Entourage, Shooter, Insatiable, etc., but more on that later.)

Yes, we talk about how Vacation happened and how it changed things, and we get into SO MUCH MORE, like:

• Podcasts (hers + mine + other people's)
• Bev's background
• Bev's family
• Growing up in Columbus, Ohio
• Conformity
• Authenticity
• Sex, drugs and rock 'n roll
• Getting pregnant at age 48
• Meeting, falling in love, and having kids with Al Pacino
• Al Pacino's mystique and how his fame has grown
• Addictive behavior
• Why she did Vacation after at first saying 'No.'
• Chevy Chase
• Why I should talk to Chevy now (and PS I really, really want to)
• Getting shunned by Hollywood
• Insecurity in Hollywood
• Other love stories

Alan Cumming has an FAQ page on his website. That's because he's been interviewed soooo many times and he's done with the same ol' questions. That's actually perfect for me because I can't stand same ol' questions either.

But!

He has done so many things (mastered theater, won a Tony, starred in hit TV series like The Good Wife -- he played Eli Gold -- and now Instinct, starred in everything from Doctor Who to Sex and the City and Spy Kids, co-hosted the Tonys, made albums, received 40+ awards for his humanitarianism, got 3 honorary degrees, holy moly, the list goes on!) that I felt overwhelmed. Where was I going to go with this interview?

Then it hit me!

Proverbs.

Listen now and you'll know exactly what I mean.

Steve Zahn (Reality Bites, Friends, That Thing You Do, Sahara, Saving Silverman, Dallas Buyers Club, Suburbia...) is so fun onscreen that he's kinda the best thing about every movie he's in. Or at least every scene.

So I met him in Williamsburg. We set up the voice recorder. And later, a camera. (You can see him and me do a funny video with random questions at YouTube.com/reallyfamous.) Here's the result.

• The 5 people he still keeps in touch with, which includes a few phenomenal (and famous) actors
• The timeless magic of That Thing You Do

Celebrity interview by Kara Mayer Robinson

Music-Take a Chance-Kevin MacLeod-incompetech-Creative Commons

Michael Imperioli (The Sopranos, Goodfellas, Summer of Sam) and I do an impromptu podcast - and it's so relaxed that you'll have a 100% different experience than when you listened to his original episode of Really Famous.

You'll hear:

• Who he based Christopher Moltisanti on (a real-life person! who has no idea!)
• Why he said "F that" about David Chase
• Why he knew James Gandolfini really well, but Edie Falco didn't
• Who he stays in touch with from The Sopranos
• Who he hangs out with
• What he does when he's bored
• What his kids think of him in The Sopranos and Goodfellas
• Why he moved to Santa Barbara
• Why he recently moved back to New York and is now bicoastal

We also:

• Are so relaxed that it's actually quite amusing
• Bond over childhood TV and our favorite shows now
• Analyze Spike Lee
• Laugh at each other
• Overanalyze this conversation ... and then don't

Music - Take a Chance by Kevin MacLeod - incompetech - Creative Commons

Jay Mohr, aka Jon Mohr, aka JJ Mohr, is here!

This is an episode like no other.

He's funny. He's serious. It's light. It's deep. We go off the rails. Repeatedly. I analyze him. He analyzes me.

You'll love it. Or you'll hate it. Savor the whole thing. Or shake it off as soon as you decide this episode's not for you.

You'll hear about:

• Marriage and divorce
• Life coaching and therapy
• Intuitive people
• Living in the deep end of the pool
• His public divorce
• Two people being real and honest
• How debilitating his failing marriage was
• Alcoholism and AA
• Owing the IRS
• Comedy at the Ground Round
• New Jersey
• Wrestling
• His theories on humans and on life
• His "breakdowns" and how he's been hurt
• Dreams about his mom, who recently died
• His name Jay, or JJ, or Jon Jr.
• Getting fired because it seemed like he was on drugs
• Tom Cruise
• Life after Jerry Maguire
• Goal-setters vs. results people
• Suburgatory, American Housewife and Katy Mixon
