Steve Zahn from London!

Steve Zahn from London!
I break a couple of hard fast rules of mine for Steve Zahn because it's his 3rd time on the podcast and we're in a groove. And he's in London. Also, I'm obsessed with season one of The White Lotus and must discuss it with him, as well as share my honest thoughts on where the series went from there. Find out which rules I broke and why Sean Penn comes up twice in this talk. Then go find Steve's new film, SHE DANCES, starring Steve and his daugher Audrey Zahn. Steve wrote it with his creative partner Rick Gomez and it also stars Steve's friend Ethan Hawke. It was recently at the Tribeca Film Festival and it's a beautiful film. Watch Steve Zahn and me on my Really Famous YouTube channel ➤ Watch or listen to my first two talks with Steve Zahn ➤ Talk 1 (in Brooklyn, New York): Talk 2 (after Steve filmed The White Lotus but before any of us knew what it was): A funny bit where Steve talks about being recognized (or not) as The Diary of a Wimpy Kid dad in his home state of Kentucky: Links to everything: Instagram | TikTok | Facebook | Subscribe on YouTube ➤ Share your thoughts ➤ Therapy + coaching ➤ Celebrity interview by Kara Mayer Robinson

Tim Daly #7
That's right, 7. It's Tim Daly's 7th time on Really Famous, but it's our 1st time doing it in Los Angeles instead of New York. So it's different. Oh and also, Tim is married now. To Téa Leoni, who played his wife on the popular TV series Madam Secretary. Today, like always, Tim Daly doesn't holds back with me. At this point, it's two friends getting together, where the beans are spilled every time. Tim, who's also known for Wings, The Sopranos, Private Practice and the new Netflix series Leanne, opens up about marrying Téa Leoni, their secret wedding, their even more secret honeymoon and the marriage pact they made together. Plus Tim reflects on his mother's alcoholism and his surprising story of resilience, his regrets about what he told his children about divorce, and how gratitude and perspective are a key part of his life.

Eric Roberts
Acting icon Eric Roberts spills the tea, clears up rumors about his relationship with his famous sister, Julia Roberts, gets emotional about his daughter, Emma Roberts, and shows why he's so reliant on his wife, Eliza. You'll see Eric start to tear up and cry when he opens up about his daughter, Emma Roberts, and get uncomfortable when he's asked about something very personal - being abused. Eric and I talk about women and empowerment and you'll hear Eric say things like “women are nicer to work with because they are more thoughtful …even the bitches” and "show business is cruel and unforgiving." Eric opens up about his difficult childhood and how he overcame stuttering. Eric tells stories about fame, Sir Lawrence Olivier and what his close friend Christopher Walken taught him about being a celebrity. Eric also gets emotional about one celebrity's tragic end. And how hard it was to write his memoir, Runaway Train: Or, The Story of My Life So Far.

Cesar Millan NEW!
10/01/2025
Cesar Millan NEW!
I'm back at Cesar Millan's Dog Psychology Center in Southern California for an updated talk with the Dog Whisperer. Well, kind of the Dog Whisperer. That name is part of a legal battle that you'll hear more about right now, as my son Charlie and I set up cameras and voice recorders and hang out with Cesar and his dog pack at the magical place where dogs live the good life. This is Cesar's 5th time on Really Famous. Almost as many as Tim Daly. But not quite. (More on that soon.) In today's talk, Cesar opens up about why he went to Will Smith for help. Yep. Will Smith. Cesar also reveals why he and Jada Pinkett Smith have a one-of-a-kind friendship. 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. Next up on Really Famous, amped up with lots of new content for you: SPIKE LEE! Yep. But it's not the kind of talk you've heard elsewhere. And that's an understatement. Because this time Spike is across the table from me. And so it's NOT what he's used to. Plus A big 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. Tim Daly as well -- a brand new talk we just recorded! -- for the first time in LA instead of New York. Michael Emerson too. And many more. It's getting exciting over here, friends. This podcast is 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 Cesar Millan. Talk to you next week on the podcast. And even sooner on YouTube and my socials if you visit me there. Cheers!

The new lineup will indeed kick off soon. Just not today. So please enjoy Jon Cryer in the meantime.

Anthony LaPaglia - Amped Up Really Famous Kickoff!
Hi 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.

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?

You’ll laugh, you may nod your head a lot, and you may even get emotional. Aisha’s not just the talented actor, stand-up comedian and host you know from “Criminal Minds” and now “Criminal Minds Evolution” plus “Archer,” “The Talk,” and “Whose Line Is It Anyway.” Aisha’s also the founder of a premium cocktail company Losophē (we drink a cocktail on-air and you can see photos of Aisha preparing our margaritas on my Instagram, TikTok and YT channel at @karamayerrobinson). Aisha Tyler is also a director, a therapist’s dream client, and quite possibly your new favorite philosopher. Aisha opens up about divorce, therapy, imposter syndrome, starting a business from scratch, and the beautiful, messy truth about chasing dreams and rewriting your story at any age. This is not just another celebrity chat. It's a heart-to-heart packed with honest moments, laugh-out-loud moments, and deep wisdom. If you’ve ever felt stuck, scared to fail, or unsure if you’re “doing life right,” this one’s for you. You can watch Criminal Minds and CM: Evolution now on Paramout+.

Julian McMahon Tribute - 1 of 2
Julian McMahon was a regular on Really Famous. And I'm grateful for our talks. Julian died earlier this week. When I think of Julian, I smile. I laugh. All good things. He was fun, open-minded, inquisitive, up for whatever, whether it was coming back on my podcast for a third time - but this time to interview me - or doing an impromptu dance with me on the Malibu Pier just so I’d have something fun to share on social media. The best approach to life, in my humble opinion. He loved it all. Life. Work. Entertainment. Family. People. I think you’ll agree. This is my tribute to him – simply replaying the first three episodes we did together. We did a fourth, sort of, but you’ll have to go to my YouTube channel – – to see it. It wasn’t a formal podcast episode. It was a catch-up video we made in 2023 when we met up in California.

Beverly D'Angelo classic
This is my classic talk with Beverly D’Angelo. Bev and I were texting last week and decided it’s time to record a new talk, especially since she’s been up to a lot since we first recorded this talk in 2019. But we’re having some trouble coordinating our schedules, so I’m running this one now because it’s a fun one with juicy stories and it’s entirely possible we won’t get that new one on the books anytime soon. And since Bev’s ex, Al Pacino, who’s also the father of her twins, has a new memoir out, called Sonny Boy, I thought, yeah, let’s also hear from Bev, who has quite a few stories of her own. National Lampoon's Vacation turned actress Beverly D'Angelo into an American icon. She played Ellen Griswold, Chevy Chase's wife, of course. But that's just part of the story. I sit down with Bev at her Los Angeles home to talk about all the other things in her life. (And let's not forget Annie Hall, Any Which Way But Loose, Coal Miner's Daughter, Entourage, Shooter, Insatiable, etc., but more on that later.) Yes, we talk about how Vacation happened and how it changed things, and we get into SO MUCH MORE, like: Podcasts (hers + mine + other people's) Bev's background Bev's family Growing up in Columbus, Ohio Conformity Authenticity Sex, drugs and rock 'n roll Getting pregnant at age 48 Meeting, falling in love, and having kids with Al Pacino Al Pacino's mystique and how his fame has grown Addictive behavior Why she did Vacation after at first saying 'No.' Chevy Chase Why I should talk to Chevy now (and PS I really, really want to) Getting shunned by Hollywood Insecurity in Hollywood Other love stories BONUS VIDEO!

Uma Thurman + Elisabeth Moss + Kristin Chenoweth

Uma Thurman + Elisabeth Moss + Kristin Chenoweth
Twist! I reached into my archives for this, friends. Back in the day, I interviewed these three iconic women: Uma Thurman (Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill), Elisabeth Moss (The Handmaid's Tale, Mad Men) and Kristin Chenoweth (Glee, Pushing Daisies). These were VERY DIFFERENT interviews from my podcast talks because (a) back then, I was primarily a writer and a therapist, (b) I was only beginning to develop my interviewing style, (c) they were for written articles, or profiles, for magazines, so the purpose was different, and (d) I didn't have actual podcasting equipment yet; just a tiny microrecorder (which wasn't a match for the loud restaurant where I met Elisabeth Moss, unfortunately). Anyway, I think you'll enjoy these. They have a rough, behind-the-scenes quality. And these women, wow. Icons. Layered. Real. Women.
