Doug Budin takes us on a hilarious and insightful journey through his career, from a chance meeting in 2011 that led him to Jeff Lewis Live to his experiences in Hollywood. He shares how the show evolved from airing twice weekly to five days a week and reveals his strategy for avoiding drama while navigating the passionate fan base.

Doug recounts his auditions for Modern Family, including a near-miss at playing Cameron, and his quirky role in Because I Said So—yes, the one where he sneezes! He also dives into his love for Bravo, his admiration for Housewives icons like Karen Huger and Shannon Beador, and his thoughts on reality TV. Plus, he spills on behind-the-scenes moments from Sutton’s surrealist party, his Instagram Live cooking shows, and the time Eric Stonestreet mistook him for a different Jeff Lewis.

From acting to reality TV to his truffle salt empire, Doug shares it all with humor and heart. Don’t miss this conversation filled with Hollywood stories, unexpected twists, and lots of laughs!
