July 21, 2025 10 Minute Takes - Jerry O'Connell "Jerry Maguire" 2 of 6
Jerry O'Connell dives into the real story behind Stand By Me and Jerry Maguire in this emotional and revealing 10 Minute Take on Still Here Hollywood. He opens up about being labeled “hyperactive” as a kid, and how acting gave him a place where that energy was finally celebrated. Jerry shares a powerful moment with director Rob Reiner on set, recalls his connection to the late River Phoenix, and details his unlikely path from college commercials to landing a Jerry Maguire screen test with Tom Cruise. It's funny, raw, and inspiring — a front-row seat to how resilience, rejection, and a little Hollywood magic helped shape a 40-year career.Show Credits

July 21, 2025 10 Minute Takes - Jerry O'Connell "Jerry Maguire" 3 of 6

He opens up about past flops, cold script anxiety, and why learning to fail made him a better actor. Plus, Jerry gives a shoutout to Horatio Sanz and explains how improv training at Upright Citizens Brigade reshaped his entire career and made hosting The Talk possible.

July 21, 2025 10 Minute Takes - Jerry O'Connell "Jerry Maguire" 4 of 6
Jerry O’Connell gets candid about career highs, lows, and the absolute surrealness of Hollywood — including reading prison fan mail sent to his wife, Rebecca Romijn. In this raw and hilarious segment of Still Here Hollywood, Jerry opens up about hitting career downturns, adjusting to life as a talk show host, and the power of saying yes to improv (thanks to a nudge from SNL alum Horatio Sanz). He also shares behind-the-scenes thoughts on the rise of unscripted TV, binge culture, The Crown, and why no one under 30 watches what we used to call “appointment television.” From Upright Citizens Brigade lessons to late-night Princess Diana plot twists, this is peak Jerry — brutally honest, endlessly entertaining, and weirdly obsessed with reading inmate fan mail.Show Credits

July 14, 2025 10 Minute Takes - Steven Weber "Wings" "Chicago Med" 1 of 7
Actor Steven Weber (Wings, Chicago Med) joins Steve Kmetko on Still Here Hollywood for a candid, funny, and surprisingly emotional conversation about the highs and lows of life in the spotlight. From flying high on NBC’s Must-See TV lineup with Wings to navigating a new chapter as Dr. Dean Archer on Chicago Med, Weber reflects on fame, regret, personal growth, and the importance of being kind in an industry that never forgets. He opens up about the early days of his career, cringing at his old performances, embracing the wisdom that comes with age, and why he still feels his best creative work is ahead. With stories about raising adult kids, behind-the-scenes tales from Wings, and why you should never underestimate a PA, this episode is a must-watch for fans of 90s TV, medical dramas, and raw Hollywood honesty. #StevenWeber #WingsTVShow #ChicagoMed #StillHereHollywood #SteveKmetko #MustSeeTV #ActorInterview #HollywoodStories #90sSitcoms #TVIcons #StevenWeberInterviewShow Credits

July 14, 2025 10 Minute Takes - Steven Weber "Wings" "Chicago Hope" 2 of 7
In this revealing episode of Still Here Hollywood, actor Steven Weber (Wings, Chicago Med, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip) sits down with Steve Kmetko for a deep and often hilarious dive into the roots of his showbiz journey — from performing toothpaste commercials in the '60s to delivering powerhouse performances on Broadway and TV. Weber opens up about chasing his parents’ approval through performance, getting his start at the “liberal Juilliard” (SUNY Purchase), working with Mel Brooks on The Producers, his standout role on Studio 60, and the industry wisdom he's picked up along the way. With stories about audition flubs, dog parenting (meet Cat the dog), navigating fame, and his unexpected moments with legends like Teri Garr and Nathan Lane, this episode blends heart, humor, and Hollywood nostalgia in the best way possible. #StevenWeber #StillHereHollywood #SteveKmetko #Studio60 #TheProducers #WingsTVShow #ChicagoMed #BroadwayStories #HollywoodIcons #90sSitcoms #ActorInterview #BehindTheScenes #TVLegends #MelBrooks #StevenWeberInterviewShow Credits

July 14, 2025 10 Minute Takes - Steven Weber "Wings" "Chicago Med" 3 of 7
In this hilarious and heartwarming episode of Still Here Hollywood, Steven Weber (Wings, Chicago Med, Studio 60) dives into his most memorable celebrity run-ins—from spotting Dolly Parton mid-traffic rant, to brushing elbows with Barbara Streisand, Kathy Bates, and Stephen Soderbergh—all while still geeking out like the lifelong fan he is. Steven and host Steve Kmetko swap unbelievable Hollywood moments, discuss their mutual love of dogs (meet “Cat the dog”), and wax nostalgic about Chicago’s theater scene, including the legendary Second City, Steppenwolf, and Goodman Theatre. Weber reflects on his improv roots, regrets about fanboying too hard, and why being cast as “the affable jerk” was both a blessing and a typecast. This episode is a wild ride through Hollywood history, fan encounters, and aging in an industry that doesn’t always age with you. #StevenWeber #StillHereHollywood #SteveKmetko #CelebrityStories #WingsTVShow #ChicagoMed #BarbaraStreisand #DollyParton #StephenSoderbergh #SecondCityChicago #SteppenwolfTheatre #ImprovComedy #HollywoodIcons #BehindTheScenes #TVLegends #BroadwayToHollywood #ActorInterview #StevenWeberInterviewShow Credits
