About On the Table with Serena Smith

From the publisher's feed

On the Table is an intimate and irreverent talk series about the messiness of being human, hosted by slowly reforming perfectionist Serena Smith. Featuring open, long-form conversations, OTT isn't so much about the ways in which we've arrived, but about the places we're in progress. Shot live over cocktails from an LA restaurant banquette, the series is inspired by Serena's former boss Larry King – who early in his career shot a show live from a Miami diner booth – and our host's undying love of flirting.
