This week, Busy & Caissie are hanging out with guest co-host, Ashley Ray, whose standup is currently being featured on HBO Max’s Queer Comedy Showcase “Human By Orientation” & they’re all doing their best in their own ways. Topics include: hosting THE party of the half century, how to get hotel upgrades using psychological tactics, meat etiquette, cocaine, Ellen Pompeo, DIY haircuts AND MORE! Then, former MTV news personality & current co-host of the Webby Award-winning “Add to Cart” podcast, SuChin Pak joins the women to talk about how she handled a huge pivot that she faced early in her career & how recent violence against the AAPI community brought up unresolved feelings from that time for her. Then Busy & Caissie get very real about how important it is to sometimes say you have something important to do when you’re really just hiding from everyone in your room.

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!

Then, co-creator of The Daily Show and co-founder of Air America, comedian and activist, Lizz Winstead, stops by to talk about the work her organization Abortion Access Front has been doing since long before Roe was reversed. A documentary about their efforts No One Asked You, just premiered.

Gemini Season

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!
