Description
You know Paget Brewster from Criminal Minds, Friends and Comedy Central’s Another Period — but did you know she used to host her very own talk show? Paget and host Chris Tallman go deep on acting tips, reality shows and then bring in one of her favorites: Jon Cryer. Sure, you know Cryer from his role as Pretty in Pink’s Duckie or from Two and Half Man, but the man is a fountain of great Hollywood stories and has the better taste in podcasts than you. Don’t believe us? Take a listen.

You may know her as star of Children’s Hospital or CBS’ Kevin Can Wait, but we think Erinn Hayes’ most important role ever was Tallman’s coworker. They improvised together at the short lived ABC Soap Opera Bistro at Disney’s California Adventure theme park around the turn of the century. She has invited her friend Michaela Watkins to discuss the roles they both tried out for and their favorite SNL alumni (did I mention Michaela was on SNL herself?).
