Really Famous with Kara Mayer Robinson
Actor extraordinaire Tony Shalhoub gets some free therapy(ish) from me. Plus, we have lots of laughs and you will too. When we get into it, which we do, Tony opens up and reveals how he got through his mental health struggles and came out stronger and healthier than ever. Yes, we talk Big Night, Wings, Monk and the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel too. And friends, OF COURSE we discuss Tim Daly, my most frequent podcast guest, and my more recent Wings star, Steven Weber. Good, good stuff. I just wish we didn't accidentally end up doing this on Zoom (I explain in the intro). My latest Tim Daly...

Stand-up comic and creator of the TV series Adam Ruins Everything Adam Conover makes a grand gesture and sincere apology for something we did years ago. We dive into what happened the first time we filmed—and I later scrapped—a podcast because of Adam’s attitude. We rehash the situation, Adam apologizes, I use her therapist POV to analyze what drives Adam, we dish on other guests we've each had on our shows, and Adam opens up about his recent breakup, therapy, ADD, shame and...

info_outlineHi friends, welcome back to Really Famous. It’s been a minute, I know. Thank you for sticking with me when my release schedule got, shall we say, a bit looser than usual. Well, I’m here with good news. I’m back with more content than ever. While you’ve been waiting patiently for new episodes to appear in Apple Podcasts or Spotify or whatever your preferred podcast app is (thank you!), I’ve been busy behind the scenes.
First, I partnered with YouTube. They connected me with an in-house YouTube pro, put me through a few boot camps and welcomed me into their YouTube creator community.
I also recruited top talent working with very successful podcasters to help me give you even more rich conversations with fascinating people than I did before.
You’ll get new podcasts every week. Plus extra bonus videos on YouTube. On Instagram, TikTok and Facebook, you’ll see new footage and clips and insights on the regular. It’s the same podcast. Same vibe. Same me. But it’ll feel like we’re hanging out more. Welcome back.
The first new episode is next week. I'm back at Cesar Millan's Dog Psychology Center in California for an updated talk with the Dog Whisperer himself. Well, kind of the Dog Whisperer. The name is part of a legal battle that we'll get an update on. Cesar also opens up about why he went to Will Smith for help. Yep. Will Smith. Cesar talks about who he’s dating now. The struggles he's been dealing with lately. And why he’d never repeat the relationship his parents have. Oh and I ask him about rumors swirling around him – because word on the street is that Cesar Millan is in prison. Or worse.
This month you'll also get a talk with Eric Roberts, one of the most prolific actors out there. Of COURSE I ask him about Julia Roberts. And of course he opens up. We also talk about a personal problem that’s taken him years of therapy to figure out.
Later this month, you’ll hear from someone totally different from anyone who’s been on the show. She has a big story to tell. And it involves someone you know.
Today I’m releasing this talk Anthony LaPaglia and I had a couple of years ago. It seemed to get lost in the shuffle and it’s too good to go under the radar. So I’m putting it out there for you as a “welcome back” sort of thing. I’m into it. I think you will be too.
It’s also on YouTube, by the way. Which, as it turns out, is now the #1 place where people get their podcasts. Did you know that?!? Surprising, right? AND a ton of people watch podcasts on YouTube podcasts on their TVs. They may be doing something in the background, like cooking or cleaning or catching up on emails, I’m not entirely sure. But it’s pretty cool. So if you want to give that a try, head to YouTube.com/ReallyFamous. You’ll see a bunch of playlists on my channel, including one that says PODCAST. Click play and boom, you’re in.
And you’ll see many more videos with my celebs as well. It’s a smorgasboard. Take anything you like! And enjoy!
Here’s Anthony LaPaglia. Talk to you next week on the podcast. And even sooner on YouTube and my socials if you visit me there.
Cheers!
And go watch Betsy's Wedding, please.
