Really Famous Celebrity Interviews

Informações:

Synopsis

Celebrity interviews that go deep. A-list actors and celebs get cozy and super-candid with host Kara Mayer Robinson about who they REALLY are. They dish on fame, relationships, love, family, regrets, struggles, insecurities, flaws, quirky habits, obsessions, dream gigs and favorite TV shows. You'll feel like you're hanging out with the celeb yourself - or eavesdropping on a therapy session. Actually, plenty of guests tell Kara it feels like therapy--in a good way. Sure, they're famous. But with Kara, they get real.

  • Alex Guarnaschelli

    16/02/2021 Duration: 01h05min

    Alex Guarnaschelli says THIS about our podcast conversation: "It's like a really good taco. Every bite is different." In this Really Famous classic episode from February 2019, Food Network celebrity chef (Chopped, Iron Chef America, Fix Me a Plate) and executive chef (Butter) also called it a "roller coaster ride." Do you agree? Do you feel the ups and downs? Let me know. Drop me an email at reallyfamouspodcast@gmail.com. This is one of my deep-dive interviews. Come along for the ride and hear us talk about: Fame Family Fun Being a TV competition judge Feeling like she has to measure up Being honest about who she is Having a temper Running a restaurant Her family's love and appreciation of good food Death Becoming a parent Being a parent Curating movies for her daughter Her nurturing, smart, passionate parents Her father's profound advice Her very unique and special relationship with her parents TV shows she LOVES TV shows I love Critiquing herself on TV Martin Scorsese Gordon Ramsey Carol Burnett The Brady

  • Salvatore Esposito

    09/02/2021 Duration: 01h12min

    I've been telling you to watch Gomorrah for years. It's one of the best TV series ever - suspenseful, smart, sophisticated. But in the US, it's been hard to find. Now it's back - thank you, HBO Max! - and I get to sit down with the lead actor, Salvatore Esposito. Salvatore isn't just the lead in Gomorrah (he plays Gennaro, aka Genny, Savastano). He's also a highlight of this season of Fargo (another great show), playing Gaetano Fadda, who you won't easily forget. So! This talk with Salvatore goes down in the books, for me, as one of my favorites. It's fun. And real. And it's in English! You'd never guess from seeing him on Gomorrah that he speaks this beautifully.  We talk: Gomorrah Fargo being famous in Italy being famous in the US the best pizza the best pasta Naples, Rome, New York, Los Angeles, Texas, New Orleans learning English learning Italian tourist traps HBO Max being a good person rough situations tied to the mafia the Camorra Ribalta TV shows we love, like: Borgen (so good, so good, so good!)

  • Alan Cumming

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

It was intended to be a short video for my YouTube channel. But since it turned into a full-blown talk, I'm sharing it with you now as a podcast.

    This is a Really Famous classic. I'm re-sharing it because it's the kind of talk a lot of us need right now. Daisy Fuentes 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.
