Gail Simmons

This week, Busy and Caissie welcome guest co-host, comedian, Chris Gethard. They discuss his new special “Half My Life” and share what they’ve been doing their bests at this week. Even though her kids listen to the podcast, Caissie gets real about something bad that happened in the bedroom and Busy takes pride in not getting into it with a stranger lady on a plane who, frankly, deserved it. And, Top Chef’s Gail Simmons swings by to discuss the spiciest pivot of her life! Then, everyone discusses how a non-answer to a gotcha question Busy was asked on *another* podcast got picked up in the press this week and everyone decides that GOING FORWARD, Busy Philipps Is Doing Her Best will only be promoted in the most clickbaity way possible, SO…Busy Philipps talks about talking about Seth Rogen and James Franco! Chris Gethard tells us what he really thinks about Louis CK! Caissie St.Onge dishes a story about David Letterman she’s never told publicly before! And Gail Simmons breaks her silence on Tom Colicchio’s hats.

Om Podcasten

It's me, your friend Busy Philipps! My creative partner Caissie St. Onge & I love making things that we believe people need & will love & we’ve had so many plans. We had plans to do a TV show that would shake up late night! And we think it kinda did! For six months. We adored our genius, scrappy creative team at “Busy Tonight” as much as we loved our audience, so when we broke the news that we’d been canceled, we vowed to get back up & make even bigger plans to invent a whole new way of doing things in the entertainment biz, to reunite our beautiful staff & change the game for everyone! An entertainment Utopia! And we were so close, then...the world changed. Now those plans are, at the very least, on hold. So, we've shifted gears, like everyone has had to, & with our friends, we're just doing our best, taking it slow & talking to fascinating friends about how *they* are doing *their* best. They’ll tell us all about those times in their lives when a setback actually led to the right thing. Maybe it was a job that didn't pan out, but opened the door to an even more perfect one, or maybe it's how they studied for years to do the thing they thought was their calling, only to fall into something else that felt like kismet. The thing is, we want to share those moments because right now EVERYBODY is having one of those moments. Maybe we'll all learn something life-changing or maybe we'll just have a conversation where we break down in tears, then laugh at ourselves for crying. Whatever happens, we can assure you, Busy Philipps is Doing Her Best!
