Comedians Zach Zucker (Stamptown, Jack Tucker: Comedy Stand-Up Hour, Sweethearts) and David Magidoff (Dexter: Resurrection, The Morning Show, Fanaddicts) join Jameela to trade origin stories that should have ended their careers before they started - a WME rep watching a hometown show implode in real time, and a wedding toast that reopens the Civil War. Somewhere in between: cat allergies, lingering breakups, and the loneliest ring fingers in the business.

Comedians Hanna Dickinson (Comedy Central Stand-Up Featuring, special on EPIX) and Zach Zimmerman ("Surprise Me" special, writing for The New Yorker) join Jameela to trade the stories you bury, not brag about: a near kidnapping story to put you off Ozempic, a hoagie that should've stayed in the trash, and a fog emoji break up strategy. Plus a listener story that was so close to a hook-up story with a hot Uber driver, right up until it wasn't.

Another chance to hear comedians Jake Johnson (New Girl, The Dink, We're Here to Help), Gareth Reynolds (Arrested Development, You're the Worst, We're Here to Help) and Eric Edelstein (The Boroughs, The Lowdown, Twin Peaks: The Return) join Jameela, as Jake shares a hair don't, Gareth breaks from proper lavatory etiquette, and Eric continues his brave battle against the fascists.

Comedians Laci Mosley (iCarly, A Black Lady Sketch Show, Scam Goddess) and Langston Kerman (Abbott Elementary, Bad Poetry, My Momma Told Me) join Jameela to trade tales of woe.

Laci takes us through a whirlwind overseas hookup that spirals from a champagne cellar bathroom encounter into an accidental pregnancy joke that goes way too far, capped off by a flight home you have to hear to believe. Langston confesses to accosting the wrong Black woman at one of Hollywood's most exclusive backyard parties, and Jameela shares the podcast guest scandal that taught her never to cover a living scammer again. Plus, listener Matt shares how a Memorial Day parade turned him into an accidental miracle in Misery Loves Company.

Comedians Jared Freid (Table for One Tour, Walking Red Flag, U Up?) and Becky Robinson (Wild 'N Out, The Beasts in Me Tour, Entitled) join Jameela for a conversation that somehow lands on a fireman worthy command performance, a dorm room G-string that never should have survived freshman year, and a hookup so dry it produced actual chalk. Jared's big wrong turn traces back to a 12-year-old's landline phone call interrupted by his mom, and Jameela's friend's home office habit gives the family dog a taste for something it really should not want.

This week's Misery Loves Company comes from listener Paul, who learns a hotel fire alarm waits for no one.

Comedians Katherine Ryan (First Born Daughter special, Tinsel Town film, The Audacity: Why Being Too Much Is Exactly Enough book) and Alan Carr (Have I Said Too Much? tour, Alan Carr's Picture Slam BBC One, Interior Design Masters Netflix) join Jameela for a night of televised flops, dance floor disasters, and dignity going straight down the drain.

Alan relives the sweat-drenched chaos of Grease Live (voted worst show on British telly two years running) and the New York toilet incident that left him watching a movie premiere in sunglasses he didn't need. Katherine remembers the audition that proved she has zero rhythm, and the boyfriend who brought her along as an unwitting third wheel on his own date. Jameela gets an electric slide lesson from Beyoncé that goes nowhere fast, and learns that telling Catherine O'Hara "I hope I look like you when I'm old" does not land the way she means it to.

This week's Misery Loves Company comes from listener Taylor, whose birthday surprise arrived at exactly the wrong moment for her digestive system.

It's summer, it's hot, we all need a week off from time to time, so that's what we're doing this week on the podcast. But we wouldn't want to leave you high and dry, so here's a ReTurn episode of our Premiere with amazing guests Mae Martin and Bob the Drag Queen. It's one of our most popular episodes, so we hope you'll listen, enjoy, and share it with a friend.

Comedians Bob the Drag Queen (Hulu special "This Is Wild," The Traitors, NYT best seller "Harriet Tubman: Live in Concert: A Novel"), Mae Martin ("Handsome" podcast, debut album "I'm a TV," Netflix series "Wayward") join Jameela.

Bob reveals his ultimate preschool nightmare and the least comfortable way to extinguish a roast, while Mae shares a secret crush gone horribly wrong, and perhaps the most incorrect way to use a spatula.

Comedians Emily Wilson (host of Tuesdays at the Red Room, host of Call Your Parents, and currently touring her special Fixed: How I Got Rejected by Reality TV) and Erica Hernandez (Search Party, 9-1-1, and Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat) join Jameela to trade their most humiliating near misses, from a snow day bus wipeout to a paranoid grilled cheese standoff.

Emily revisits the reality show disaster that turned into her one woman show, and Erica confesses to a college fueled conspiracy theory that had her power walking sixty blocks to feed a friend who was not, in fact, starving.

Plus, Colby discovers he has a latex allergy in the most humiliating way imaginable, in this week's Misery Loves Company.

Comedians Laurie Kilmartin (Jimmy Kimmel Live, Conan, Cis Woke Grief Sl*t) and Sydney Kane (Wife Material, Millennial Jenny, Barney & Friends) join Jameela to see who can out mortify the other.

Laurie confesses to screaming obscenities at the wrong side of a protest, then rewinds to the school yearbook comments that got her shunned for all of eighth grade. Sydney details the make-up shopping spree that ended with four cops, an eight hour holding cell, and her entire college group chat finding out before she did.

Jameela shares her own tale of being ignored at school, the group compares notes on strategically pretending to be asleep, and a Misery Loves Company listener's egg throwing scheme backfires spectacularly.

Laurie brings her stand-up to London's Soho Theatre July 27th and 28th.

Comedians Chloe Radcliffe (The Tonight Show, Command Z, Is This Thing On?) and Tone Bell (Survival of the Thickest, Coyote Versus Acme, Fam) join Jameela for an hour of bodies malfunctioning at the worst possible moments, in front of the worst possible audiences.

Tone explains the fertility surgery that left him with an unfortunate mullet situation south of the border. Chloe dishes on the film et she left almost as toxic as the non-alcoholic beverage she was there to advertise. And a house party takes a turn for the kinky and extremely public after an under-21-year-old Tone Bell resolves not to touch the dirty ice.

Plus, a Misery Loves Company confession involving a Hawaiian party, an airborne bikini bottom, and an unplanned night sleeping pantsless on a cardboard box.

Chloe is on tour now and brings her solo show Cheat to Joe's Pub in New York this August. Tone is on tour now too, with a new podcast with his mom, Valentone's Day, launching in August on iHeartRadio.
