  • Auli‘i Cravalho

  • Eddie Redmayne

    Oscar-winning actor Eddie Redmayne (The Theory of Everything, Fantastic Beasts) takes a break from gracing the stage (and the soundstage) to bring his characteristic charm and kindness to the pod. He recalls early memories from growing up as the artsy one in a family full of athletes, and talks about his early days as a young theater actor in London, in awe of the bright lights and buzzy energy.

  • Lamorne Morris

    Hot off the heels of his Emmy win, Lamorne Morris (New Girl, Fargo) stops by and makes all of Penn’s dreams come true. Lamorne is candid about volatile days at home, and why he chooses forgiveness; what it was like to be a tiny instigator; and the time he shat his pants in front of his crush. We get into hard days on New Girl, pick up lines in the real world, and playing the straight man in his Best-Actor-cinching role on Fargo.

  • Ben Platt

    Ben Platt (the actor and musician from Broadway plays like Dear Evan Hansen, films like Pitch Perfect, and new album Honeymind) takes a break from winning awards to drop by the pod. From the time he got fully pantsed in front of his crush, to his wholly uneventful coming-out moment with his parents, to his early successes as a young actor -- the lol's and lessons are plentiful.

  • Lucas Bravo

    Lucas Bravo (Emily in Paris, FREEDOM) joins us from the green room of The Kelly Clarkson Show to talk about his early years bouncing between France and Italy, the fortuitous run-in he had in the middle of a busy street that led to his breakout role in Emily in Paris, and how a retreat into the mountains to get away from Hollywood ended up bringing him right back.

  • Tyler Henry

    Renowned medium Tyler Henry sits down to talk about death, the afterlife, and the mysterious lines of connection running between them. He shares about the time he shocked his teacher with an extremely specific premonition about her long-dead mother-in-law, the shocking circumstances of his mother's kidnapping, and his thoughts on the hosts' classic, super-chill-totally-normal question: "what is the purpose of life?"

  • James Morosini

    Actor, writer and director, James Morosini (It’s What’s Inside, The Sex Lives of College Girls) keeps it refreshingly honest this week— touching on the time he got catfished by his own father, and then wrote, starred in and directed a movie about it; the time he drove 6 hours for his first kiss only to learn he wasn’t on his crush’s hot list; and why becoming his town’s drug dealer to make friends backfired on him. We dive deep into his new movie, It’s What’s Inside, and his indie darling, I Love My Dad.

  • Chase Stokes

    Chase Stokes (Outer Banks, Uglies) joins us for a candid conversation spanning childhood sports injuries to living in his car in Hollywood. He hilariously recalls bombing his Stranger Things audition, only to later stand before those same execs to land his breakout role as John B in Outer Banks. Chase also shares how he was able to work up the courage to nail the most epic first kiss story we’ve ever heard.

  • Ego Nwodim

    Ego Nwodim (Saturday Night Live, Mr. Throwback) finally visits the pod after 3 years of coordination. She shares her theories on why crushes are better than relationships, how her name made her impervious to rejection, and how she keeps it together when everyone around her is breaking. Ego may or may not regret opening up so much and blames it on Penn for taking the interview from his bed. You don’t want to miss this one!
