Stephanie Miller's Happy Hour Podcast

On the very day that the (redacted) Mueller Report finally drops, we sit down with the ladies from the 'Mueller, She Wrote' podcast - A.G., Jaleesa Johnson, and Jordan Coburn to suss out the most damning details, speculate on redactions, and debate where we go from here. All while sipping some blended strawberry margaritas.

We're spending happy hour with Ed Begley Jr, co-star on the new ABC series 'Bless This Mess'! So what if he's been sober for years, the man is hilarious! We discuss some of his most famous roles including St. Elsewhere, Arrested Development, Best in Show, and A Mighty Wind. And we get to the root of his environmentalism (he's cheap) as he tells us about owning one of the earliest electric cars and gives us tips for simple, cash-saving changes we can all make to help save our planet.

And he shares some personal stories about confronting hate and prejudice. A wonderful discussion!

We're drinking Bloody Mary's (virgin and otherwise) with Hailie Sahar of Pose and Good Trouble. She discusses her career and her life as a trans actress - from her early days as a dancer for the LA Sparks to Ryan Murphy writing a part specifically for her on Pose. A very touching episode.

We've wanted him to come to LA and do the happy hour for years now and finally - SURPRISE! - Charlie snuck in the studio to join us for the morning show with Jody Hamilton this week.

We're so happy to welcome esteemed actor and badass lady Mary McDonnell (Dances With Wolves, Major Crimes, Battlestar Galactica) to the basement for the last Happy Hour of 2018!

Spencer Garrett is not just that guy from that thing. From his role as Tom Delay to his part on 'House of Cards' to currently co-starring in 'The Front Runner' as Bob Woodward (in theaters now), he's usually that political guy from that political thing. Even behind the scenes, he's a producer on the podcast 'America 2.0' - a West Wing-style audio drama. He discusses that, plus his recently filmed roles in Quentin Tarantino's next film 'Once Upon A Time In Hollywood' and Jay Roach's 'Fair and Balanced' where he plays Sean Hannity.
