Ever wonder what it’s like to run Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? My guest this week, Rich Sirop, was Co-Executive Producer of the show — and my Associate Producer back when I sat in the hot seat. He’s also been at the helm of countless other TV projects.

We talked about working with Regis and Meredith, shared behind-the-scenes memories, and had plenty of laughs. Rich also opened up about his current podcast and coaching work — and of course, we tackled the ultimate question: would you rather face one horse-sized chicken or 100 chicken-sized horses? 🐔🐴

Most importantly, Rich shared his strategy for frying his chickens — and making sure they stay fried — a lesson you can take with you long after the laughs.

Tune in for stories, humor, and insights you won’t want to miss on Fry Your Chickens with Phil Barth.
