What an incredible honor it was to sit down and talk to the entire cast of Hulu’s hit show “How I Met Your Father”! We had so much fun being on the set (in Sophie and Valentina's living room!!!) and seeing up close how magical and special this cast is. Check out my super fun interviews with Hilary Duff, Chris Lowell, Suraj Sharma, Tom Ainsley, Tien Tran and Francia Raisa and be sure to catch a new episode of #HIMYF today on Hulu! 🥄🥄🥄

After 11 years, I was thrilled to sit down again with the absolutely hilarious Sherri Shepherd! Her hit new talk show "Sherri" is bringing a much needed hour of joy and laughter to daytime television and I couldn't wait to talk to her about it. It was a long journey to reach this dream, so it's awesome seeing her living it every day and hear the inspiring story of how she got there. She is truly one of the most kind and supportive people in this business so I treasured every second of this interview and the chance to tell her how loved she is. 🥄🥄🥄

It's finally here! My heartfelt and open conversation with The Today Show & Hoda and Jenna host Hoda Kotb! I was so grateful and honored to sit down with Hoda and talk about the new season of her amazing podcast Making Space and the INSPIRING journey that led her to her dream job. From the minute Hoda walked into the room, I knew this was going to be a very special episode. I felt so connected with her and a surprise moment at the end had us all crying. I hope this interview inspires you all to dream BIG, to embrace your stubbornness, and to turn that no into a YES!!! 🥄🥄🥄

Somebody pinch me! I can't believe I got to sit down with Ralph Macchio to talk about his incredible legacy and the big dreams that started it all. His new memoir "Waxing On" is full of amazing stories from his star-making performance as The Karate Kid to his epic return as Daniel LaRusso in Cobra Kai. The Karate Kid was one on the first movies I remember seeing in a theatre with my family, so this was a major full circle moment that I will never forget! Enjoy my interview with the one and only Ralph Macchio! 🥄🥄🥄

FYI: THIS EPISODE CONTAINS STRONG LANGUAGE.  Class is in session and Professor Lewis has the floor! I can't fully describe how moved I was by my chat with the legendary Jenifer Lewis. Her new book, "Walking In My Joy In These Streets" is out and she has a LOT to say. As she proclaims in this episode, Jenifer is the ultimate "scene-stealer, roof-raiser" and you don't want to miss the knowledge she is dropping and the song she is singing. So buckle up and learn some priceless lessons from a woman who is paying attention to what's going on in these streets and still choosing to walk in JOY every day.

Today I am beyond honored to talk with a true movie STAR: the one and only Geena Davis! In her new memoir "Dying of Politeness", Geena tells the story of how being polite almost killed her, and the rocky road to becoming a badass in Hollywood (while remaining one of the kindest people you will ever meet). We can all learn a lot from her journey and I can not recommend her book strongly enough. I don't know how, in less than 20 minutes, we were able to chat about everything from her iconic films to her unfortunate experience with Bill Murray to Geena Davis drag queens to how she is quite literally changing the world, but we DID. Thanks for listening and I truly hope you enjoy this episode much as I did!

The world knows her as Sporty Spice, Mel C or Melanie C. She is one fifth of one of the most successful bands of ALL TIME and a solo star in her own right. I have dreamed of interviewing a Spice Girl for over 10 years, and today that dream finally comes true. Melanie has a gorgeous new memoir out called "The Sporty One: My Life As A Spice Girl", and it is a stunning recollection of the highest highs and lowest lows of her life and career. She shares her intense struggles with anxiety, depression and eating disorders, and takes us along on her journey of healing. She says she is "rebranding vulnerability as a super power", and I have no doubt that she will help countless readers and fans find healing in their own lives. This interview was one of the great honors of my life, and I truly hope you enjoy it. Ladies and gentlemen, I am proud to present the SEASON 12 PREMIERE of "A Spoonful of Paolo"!

The recent loss of Olivia Newton-John shook the world and brought a tidal wave of grief and appreciation for this talented and beloved superstar.  Back in 2017, I was fortunate enough to have her come into my home studio for a very special interview.  I just can't describe what it feels like to have Olivia Newton-John walk into your house! She was one of the kindest, most genuine people I have ever met.  No stranger to grief and loss in her own life, Olivia and I talked about her album for those experiencing grief called 'Liv On' with bandmates Amy Sky and Beth Nielsen Chapman. We are also, of course, chatted about 'Grease', her iconic career, played a super fun game and got a mini performance at the end. Every moment of that day was a dream come true. Rest well, sweet Olivia. As you soar with the angels, we hope you feel the outpouring of love and gratitude for your phenomenal spirit and iconic art. I, along with countless others, honestly love you.

Today is an amazing day because we’re releasing my full interview with the one and only Gloria Estefan. This episode is everything I hope and dreamed it would be. It’s full of love, hope and inspiration. A special thank you to Gloria Estefan for being so gracious and loving. Enjoy this episode, everyone, and please let me know what you think. This episode is dedicated to my beloved mother and Gloria’s mother also. Two angels looking down feeling so proud of their children.
