Obsessed: The Podcast episodes

  • How I Get Hollywood’s Biggest Stars To Spill Their Guts

    On this special Presidents Day episode of Obsessed, Kevin Fallon sits down with longtime celebrity interviewer Josh Horowitz to talk about his new dog-friendly series, “Who’s a Good Guest,” and how bringing pets into interviews instantly disarms even the biggest A-listers. Horowitz shares behind-the-scenes stories from decades of press junkets, red carpets, and viral moments—including what it’s really like chasing the perfect clip and finally landing on Tom Cruise’s legendary coconut cake list. It’s a candid, funny look at the art of celebrity interviews and what still makes Hollywood surprising.

  • The Wildest TV Comeback of All Time Is Here

    On this episode of Obsessed, Kevin Fallon kicks off a limited series into HBO’s cult comedy classic, The Comeback, as it gears up for its long-awaited third season. Joined by producer and actor Dan Bucatinsky, Kevin revisits the show’s unlikely journey from 2005 to now, unpacking how Valerie Cherish became one of TV’s most cringeworthy—and beloved—icons. From behind-the-scenes stories to Billy’s explosive trailer meltdown, they celebrate why Lisa Kudrow’s fearless performance still hits harder than ever.

  • Donnie Wahlberg on TV’s Most ‘Shocking’ TV Cancellation Ever

    On this episode of Obsessed, Kevin is still riding high from Bad Bunny’s electrifying Super Bowl halftime show before sitting down with Donnie Wahlberg for a wide-ranging, deeply personal conversation. Donnie reflects on New Kids on the Block’s forgotten place in Super Bowl history, the emotional cancellation of Blue Bloods, and what it means to carry Danny Reagan into a new chapter with Boston Blue. He also shares an unforgettable behind-the-scenes story about transforming himself—physically and mentally—for his haunting role in The Sixth Sense.

  • His Affair Made Her a New York Times Bestseller

    On this episode of Obsessed, Kevin Fallon is joined by Joanna Coles to dissect the much-talked-about Melania Trump documentary—why it feels more like a glossy ad than a revealing film, what it accidentally exposes about power, marriage, and image, and why its “box office win” doesn’t quite add up. Then Joanna sits down with New York Times bestselling author Belle Burden to discuss her devastating and surprising divorce, the voicemail that changed her life overnight, and how betrayal, financial reckoning, and isolation during Covid ultimately led her to write a memoir that has resonated with thousands of women. It’s an episode about image versus reality, the stories women are told to keep quiet, and what happens when you finally tell the truth.

  • Emmy Winner Niecy Nash-Betts Reacts to Critics Who ‘Hated’ Her Show

    On this episode of Obsessed, Matt Wilstein is joined by producer Rachel Passer to kick things off with a lively conversation about the Super Bowl, Bad Bunny’s highly anticipated halftime show, and how politics, pop culture, and criticism collide on TV’s biggest stage. Then, Matt sits down with Emmy-winning icon Niecy Nash-Betts for a candid, funny, and deeply personal conversation about her career—from Reno 911! to Getting On, Ryan Murphy collaborations, and that unforgettable Emmy win. Niecy opens up about navigating critical backlash, supporting Kim Kardashian amid All’s Fair reviews, and trusting her own path despite the noise. It’s a joyful, honest reflection on longevity, ambition, and why the critics don’t always have the final word.

  • TV’s Funniest Nurse Allison Tolman: Why I’m Jealous of ‘The Pitt’

    On this episode of Obsessed, Kevin Fallon is joined by producer Rachel Passer as they process the shock of Catherine O’Hara’s death and reflect on the warmth, humanity, and legacy she left behind. Kevin then sits down for a candid, funny, and surprisingly emotional conversation with actress and Critics’ Choice Award winner, Allison Tolman. During this conversation, they discuss all things comfort TV, career survival, and why ‘St. Denis Medical’ feels like exactly the show people need right now. Along the way, the episode gets messy and honest about Hollywood’s blind spots, casting shortcuts, and the uncomfortable truth that in this industry, there’s no such thing as “arriving.”

  • ‘Summer House’ Star Reveals ‘Excuse’ for Rock-Bottom Bender

    On this episode of Obsessed, Kevin Fallon breaks down the biggest, buzziest moments from the Grammy Awards with producer Rachel—covering everything from Bad Bunny’s powerful speeches and iconic performances to Cher chaos and pop-star discourse worth arguing about. Then, Kevin sits down with Summer House star Carl Radke for a raw, funny, and deeply human conversation about life on reality TV, sobriety, grief, mental health, and what it means to live your hardest moments in front of the cameras. From Bravo fame and shower shots to recovery, vulnerability, and finding purpose through connection, it’s an episode that balances pop culture absurdity with genuine emotional weight—and proves why Summer House (and Carl Radke) hit deeper than anyone expects.
