This week, for the very first time, Busy and Caissie took the show on the road, internationally, to do the podcast live in front of a big audience in Toronto at the Just For Laughs Festival Comedy Con! Guys, not gonna lie, there were nerves! But, thanks to amazing guests, Atsuko, one of comedy’s hottest acts right now, and legendary musician Joe Pernice…and especially thanks to a sea of beautiful faces in the seats, they did it! Plus, find out what Busy recently managed, which may be the most impressive maternal feat ever accomplished.

LIVE from TORONTO!

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!

This week had a lot of highs and lows. Busy finally got to meet Oprah! Busy cursed in front of Oprah and millions of people watching. Caissie caught a mouse in Busy’s apartment that turned out to be something else. They have a new show coming out tonight on QVC+ with Kenan Thompson as the guest! But the highest of the high was getting to chat with the charming and talented Dylan Mulvaney about what it’s like to find yourself in the middle of the debate over trans rights, and beer, and finding your creative voice amidst the noise.

Description
Title: Carrie Preston “Too Busy to Think of a Title!”

This week, Busy and Caissie are so excited that their long awaited return to late night TV is finally premiering on QVC+ TONIGHT! But, holy smokes are they busy. They talk about driving to Pennsylvania to appear live on QVC to promote the show and almost didn’t make it and how getting to walk the halls of QVC felt like winning a Golden Ticket into the chocolate factory. Then, the incomparable Emmy Award-winning Carrie Preston drops by to talk about her roles in True Blood, Claws, and how an appearance on The Good Wife eventually turned into her own starring role in her new show Elsbeth on CBS! And what it’s like being married to the star of another iconic show, Michael Emerson, from Lost!

Busy This Week! Literally!

This week, Busy’s Girls5Eva co-star and friend Sara Bareilles is back to talk about what it’s like to try to write songs when you’re not sure what you have to say. She tells us what’s next for her (hint: one thing is musical, another thing is matrimonial) and why we all deserve comfortable pants.
