Eight (ish?) years ago, actor/comedian/Emmy winner Jeff Hiller was a guest on this podcast to discuss reading celebrity memoirs. Today he returns to discuss what it was like to WRITE one! We were so excited to talk to Jeff we did the unprecedented/confusing thing of doing another episode of this podcast which for real is not happening anymore!
Okay, back to Jeff! After the success of playing Joel on the terrific HBO show Somebody, Somewhere Jeff wrote a memoir "Actress Of A Certain Age." It tells stories of growing up in Texas, working for non profits in Denver and Africa, pursuing acting in NYC, doing improv at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater, moving to LA and then back to NYC and lots more.
We were thrilled to talk to Jeff about his book and his life! Thank you Jeff!
For minor obsessions, Anthony talked about trying to switch from reading social media to getting daily email newsletters and Will discussed the maddening video game Baby Steps.
Thanks to Susannah Beckett for suggesting that we do this! John Flynn (who wrote his own terrific memoir Baked) also suggested it! I thanked John in the podcast and forgot to thank Susannah! Conspiracy? Who knows? Also Connor Ratliff suggested it. Look, we have a lot of smart friends and we're grateful for them all!
