Ask Ronna

Now wait a minute. If you're feeling any holiday stress, we're about to relieve it all with this absolute gem of a guest. Joining us in The Carriage House is none other than the fabulous Michael Hitchcock! You know him from his roles in Christopher Guest classics like WAITING FOR GUFFMAN and BEST IN SHOW as well as about a thousand other things. And he's got a new film out now called EXMAS with Leighton Meester and Robbie Amell on Amazon Prime and Amazon Freevee. 

Michael helps us give advice on friendship with a major celebrity and dealing with a mother-in-law who hijacks the holidays.

The Ronnukah Holiday Market is open! From our incredible Ask Ronna Travel Bartender Kit to our limited edition Ronnukah Kintos, there's something for everyone. All items are now shipping, but be sure to order before December 15 to make sure everything arrives before the holiday. And don't forget EVERY purchase from the market comes with an invitation to the AR Holiday Party Kiki on December 29.

You all know Dante, but did you know he's also a talented filmmaker? He's making a feature, and he needs our help to fund it! It's called HOMEWRECKER, which he's writing AND directing, pardon me. It'll be a hilarious, raunchy, even dark affair...and you might recognize a face or two in it! Let's help our Dante out by going to igg.me/at/homewreckerfilm and donating to his project. And, by the way, there's a special exclusive tier for donors who'll be getting a VERY special treat from Ronna (& Bryan) as a thank you. Donate today! And follow the film @homewreckerfilm

Now wait a minute. The tryptophan is out of our system, our turkey feathers have fully molted, and we're still energized from Ronnukah. The holidays are in full swing in The Carriage House. And if that wasn't enough, we've got a fabulous guest joining us this week! Joining us is none other than host of EVERYTHING ICONIC and New York Times Bestselling Author of HOW DO I UN-REMEMBER THIS, Danny Pellegrino! His new book, THE JOLLIEST BUNCH, is out now for the holidays!

After we grill Danny about his experience at BravoCon (he's got some tea to spill, excuse me), he helps us give advice on a sister who dominates the family group chat and whether or not to skip Christmas with the parents until one of them is better behaved.

The Ronnukah Holiday Market is open, and our specially curated gifts are selling like hot latkes! Supplies are limited, so if you'd like to get your hands on our personalized travel cocktail kit, our limited edition Ronnukah Kinto tumbler, or an Ask Ronna Social Club Holiday Bubbles Gift Set (available with alcohol or without!), then go to ronnukah.com TODAY and order something for your loved ones and throw in something for yourself while you're at it. And don't forget that all gifts purchased in the holiday market come with an invite to the December Kiki!

Again, if you're not following Zachariah on Instagram and TikTok then you are missing out on so much in your life.

Zachariah helps us give advice on some coworker cohabitation drama as well as helping someone decide what to buy with a gift card from a dearly departed family member.

You know Jessica (Jessy, as her friends call her) from her work on THE END OF THE F***ING WORLD, PIECES OF HER, and YOU & ME, and in films like THE LOBSTER and SCARBOROUGH.
