On July 13, 2024 the world lost an icon… Richard Simmons. Richard brought so much joy and love to his fans. He was America’s fitness guru who made us all feel seen and loved. I know this firsthand because Richard was a guest on A Spoonful Of Paolo on June 20th 2013. It was a big moment for our show because this was our 50th episode. A dear friend of mine made this interview possible and I am eternally grateful. I couldn’t believe we were going to tape my chat with Richard Simmons at his iconic studio, Slimmons in Beverly Hills. Not only that, but I was able to take his class right before the interview, and it was one of my favorite workout experiences ever. I can’t tell you how much fun this was seeing so many people working out led by Richard himself. There was a moment where Richard called me to the middle of the floor and we were surrounded by his students dancing and cheering us on. After class, we started the interview and what I loved about Richard was his openness with his feelings. I could tell he loved the interview because we had a real connection. I was really proud of this episode. It’s moments like this that I am so glad I didn’t give up on my dreams. This day, this experience, this episode will never be forgotten. I grew up watching Richard Simmons and seeing him be his authentic self was the best gift he gave me and everyone else who loved him. RIP Richard and keep spreading your joy and love with everyone else in heaven. Say hi to my heavenly mom and I love you both. 🥄🥄🥄❤❤❤ #aspoonfulofpaolo #richardsimmons

Ending season 13 of A Spoonful of Paolo with the super-talented Mandy Moore reminds me that dreams do come true when you do the work and never give up. For the past 25 years, Mandy Moore has been a perfect example of that. I can't tell you what an honor and privilege it was to speak with her. A huge part of my life was spent listening to Mandy’s music, watching her movies & being mesmerized by her brilliant performance on the Emmy award-winning show This Is Us. Mandy and her two This Is Us co-stars, Sterling K. Brown and Chris Sullivan have a new fantastic podcast called That Was Us where they go back and revisit each episode of the iconic series. I truly loved this conversation with Mandy. We laughed, we cried, and I gave her a VERY special surprise that left her speechless. It was a first for our show and a first for Mandy Moore! I hope you all love this episode and may you never stop dreaming BIG!

The last time I talked with Valerie Bertinelli was 2 years ago, which was a pretty dark time in both of our lives. I can't tell you how JOYOUS it was to reunite in person and see just how much we both have been able to heal since then (after putting in lots of hard work, of course). We had such a meaningful and fun conversation about her new cookbook Indulge, how she deals with grief, and how Valerie got to a place where she truly loves herself. I can’t tell you how much I loved this episode and I know you will too. Oh and I promise you that after this interview, you’ll want to order her fantastic cookbook Indulge. I can’t stop making recipes from it and, let me tell you, her dishes are easy & delicious! 😋🥄❤️

Here it is, folks - our 200th episode of A Spoonful Of Paolo with the one and only Gayle King! I met Gayle for the first time 20 years ago when Oprah made my wildest dream come true. It was an honor and privilege to interview Gayle decades later at the CBS Mornings studio in Times Square - a true full circle moment. Gayle showed up to play and this special episode is filled with lots of fun, heartfelt and surprising moments. Patrick and I thank you for being a part of this amazing Spoonful journey and I hope my interview with Gayle inspires you to always dream BIG! 🥄🥄🥄

I'm so proud to share with you my full interviews from the purple carpet with Oprah Winfrey and the cast of #TheColorPurple! I still can’t believe this happened one week ago today. It was a dream come true to talk with this phenomenal cast about a story that has transcended generations. I watched “The Color Purple” twice last week and I can’t overstate how powerful, magical and profoundly beautiful this film is. I want to give a special thank you to everyone at Oprah Daily for believing in me and trusting me to represent you on the purple carpet! My husband and I were so grateful for this amazing opportunity. I hope you all enjoy my interviews and don’t forget “The Color Purple” comes out on Christmas Day! 💜💜💜

It's Spoonful time! Here's my brand new interview with 3x Emmy-winning co-host of ABC’s The View & 2x NYT best-selling author Sunny Hostin! I have been a huge fan of The View since the show was launched back in 1997, so to be able to sit down with Sunny Hostin was a huge honor for me. I am so inspired by Sunny’s journey to her dreams and her perseverance in life, and I know you will be too. ALSO, since tomorrow is Sunny’s birthday, you know we had to surprise her with a special gift at the end. I will cherish this interview forever and I am so excited to share it with you! 🥄🥄🥄
