‘Busy Philipps is Doing Her Best’ and so are the guests on this podcast
Over a year ago, E!’s TV show Busy Tonight was cancelled. After the series wrapped, host Busy Philipps wanted to continue partnering with her creative brood, including Caissie St. Onge, and started her podcast. In Kismet Productions’ “Busy Philipps is Doing Her Best,” Busy co-hosts with Caissie to chat with friends and guests about how they are trying their best. Buckle up for unfiltered conversations that might make listeners laugh, cry, then “laugh at ourselves for crying.”
Since 2020, “Busy Philipps is Doing Her Best” has released over 65 episodes. The average run time is 2.5 hours. Stream the episodes in any order, though some episodes talk about current events that might seem dated by the time you’re deep into the episode’s archive or have selected a past episode at random.
Busy and Caissie are often joined by guests. During the holiday season, the hosts have focused on conversations around their lives and current events and have not featured guests in recent weeks. Brian Jordan Alvarez and Stephanie Koenig stopped by the show in November to discuss their upcoming release, A Spy Movie, premiering December 10th on YouTube.
In memory of Joan Rivers, Caissie uncovered a lost 2011 interview from her archive in September 2021. On this episode, Caissie shares this never-before-heard conversation where the comedienne chats about feuding with Johnny Carson, what she thought of Donald Trump’s presidential aspirations, who she considered her celeb BFFs, and more.
In October, actress Andrea Barber joined Busy to discuss the time she received a FaceTime call from Taylor Swift and what went on behind the scenes of Full House and its revival series.
Over the summer, comedian Nikki Glaser shared stories from her life’s journey. SuChin Pak talked about being featured on HBO Max’s Queer Comedy Showcase, “Human by Orientation.” Natalie Morales shared her experience working on Hulu’s Plan B movie. Tina Fey, Jeff Richmond, and author Rebecca Carroll were all on one episode. Earlier this year, Glennon Doyle joined Busy and Caissie for an episode that ran over 3 hours long.
