I interviewed HARRY POTTER and GOD! Yes, it's true! Daniel Radcliffe and Steve Buscemi and I had a chat. There's a backstory, which explains why this is an atypically short episode. I share the story. In the meantime, check out Steve and Daniel's show Miracle Workers, which just kicked off season 3 (Miracle Workers: Oregon Trail) on TBS. You can also catch seasons 1 and 2 on HBO Max. I have big questions for Daniel and Steve, of course. We don't get to them all, but we do cover a few very intriguing topics, like: If they're as lovable in real life as their endearing Miracle Workers characters How they feel about social media Who people think they are vs. who they really are, in real life What happens next Share your thoughts!

Internationally renowned psychologist and Emotional Intelligence guru Daniel Goleman, PhD, joins me and it's FASCINATING. We analyze people's behaviors and habits (and we do it together because I'm a therapist, after all!). It's really fun and insightful. We analyze what happens in conversations, what we do when people say negative things about us, self-talk, texting, Zooming, celebrities I've interviewed, and my own peculiar habits. I also share details on my work as a writer for The New York Times and WebMD and he talks about being a NYT science writer and editor of Psychology Today. And there's a HUGE TAKEAWAY for YOU. It's like the big therapists' and coaches' secret to shifting your life in a powerful direction. We reveal it on the show. Plus we laugh. So don't mistake it for one of those boring, scientific jargon talks. We have a lot of fun.

Gavin, of course, played Murray Slaughter on the Mary Tyler Moore Show and Captain Stubing on The Love Boat.   Links to my talks with Gavin's co-stars, who were more than happy to talk about how wonderful Gavin was: Ed Asner - https://really-famous.com/ed-asner  Marion Ross - https://really-famous.com/now/marion-ross  Ted Lange - https://really-famous.com/ted-lange  Jill Whelan - https://really-famous.com/jill-whelan   I'll be back next week with Tim Daly.

I’m happy to bring you a new, unfiltered talk with a fascinating person who’s famous, and yet, maybe you don’t know on a personal level!  Today it’s Lillo Brancato, star of A Bronx Tale, alongside Chazz Palminteri and Robert De Niro.

He shared his whole story of becoming discovered – on the beach! – and getting involved with drugs, being involved in a fatal shooting, and going to prison.

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.
