Comedian and actor Taran Killam (Saturday Night Live, High Potential, 12 Years a Slave) and actor Jenn Lyon (Claws, The English Teacher, Dead Boy Detectives) join Jameela and immediately reveal themselves to be two of the purest, yet most deeply unhinged people she has ever encountered.
Taran opens with a micro humiliation for the ages: the time he forgot every lyric to the same Hamilton song he'd performed hundreds of times, in front of 1,300 high school kids who knew every single word. His Big Wrong Turn, however, takes us back to 2001 and a backstage encounter with Tenacious D and Dave Grohl that begins with hero worship, escalates through increasingly desperate attempts at shock humor, and ends with Jack Black delivering the most devastating possible verdict on his presence in the room.
Jenn's micro humiliation is a masterclass in the cruelty of school nicknames, and how she went from "Majestic Lemon", to "Derbis", to "Two Tut" all within her fourth grade year. Her Big Wrong Turn arrives courtesy of the Atkins diet, a metric ton of sugar-free candy, and the particular horror of realizing mid-song, in full period corsetry, that something has gone catastrophically wrong inside your tights.
Along the way, Jameela reveals a friend's long-running photo-bombing habit that has somehow survived the #MeToo era, and explains exactly why she could never, ever do a play or a TED Talk.
Misery Loves Company comes from Greg, whose college habit of casually exposing a testicle in public went unnoticed until a woman asking for directions clocked it and offered some gentle medical advice.
Watch Taran Killam and Jenn Lyon in Stumble, Fridays on NBC and streaming on Peacock.
Jameela's Substack is A Low Desire To Please, you can also find her on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube.
Our consulting producer is Colin Anderson.
Wrong Turns was created and produced by Jameela Jamil and Stewart Bailey.
