How Was Your Week: Episode 61
“Something Something Justin Timberlake: David Yazbek, Damien Lemon”Ahoy! The new episode of How Was Your Week is a bonanza of learning, laughter, folks & fun.
First, Broadway composer (Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, The Full Monty, Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown), songwriter and musician DAVID YAZBEK is here to discuss his stint as a writer on Late Night with David Letterman, how the scores of films influence his musical adaptations, and why he doesn’t think of Patti LuPone as a diva. She’s just Patti!
Then, standup comic and general delight DAMIEN LEMON (The Guy Code, Hip Hop Squares) is here to talk about his worst-ever job and the degrading hat he had to wear whist working it, the whitest event he ever got to spy on, and why he refuses to acknowledge that Kim and Kanye are a thing.
Also: Julie is very excited to share a hot new R&B track with you in its sublime and insane entirety! Donny Deutsch weighs in on the Octomom’s upcoming masturbation tape and some ancient blackface history because he was asked to weigh in by the Today Show, who should be ashamed! Details about the mysterious foster cat are gradually revealed! Mario Lopez’s latest shame spiral is predicted, and actualizes! And a final plea for Comedy Award votes before Sunday’s ceremony.
This is a show for the ages! Not for the aging. Sorry, grandma!

How Was Your Week: Episode 60
“Fig Bar Bender”: Nellie McKay, Dodai StewartThe new episode of How Was Your Week stars two wonderful ladies. First, singer/songwriter/actor/chanteuse NELLIE McKAY is here to sing us a beautiful song, talk about her dog, reveal what she really wanted to play on her first Letterman appearance, and otherwise enchant us from our heads to our tails.
Then, Jezebel Deputy Editor DODAI STEWART speaks candidly about her obsession with game shows, ponders Lena Dunham, expresses her availability—GENTLEMEN—- and discloses her scandalous Hanna Barbara crush.
Also! Julie is still recovering from the Bollywood number from this week’s Smash AND the revelation that Simon Van Campen spontaneously jizzed his britches when his sons were born. The ramifications of Taylor Swift playing Joni Mitchell factor into time travel! And also there is a lot of talk about Shirley McClaine.
Plus—the specificity of Dodai’s hate-strewn inbox! Nellie’s ideas about apples, and what they have in common with Quaaludes! How “Gotye” is pronounced! And what women generally do NOT do after they have sex with a corpse, despite what we learned from “Weekend At Bernie’s.”
Holy cowbell—a great show!
Note: Ben Bynum plays guitar on “Rio de Lua”—“Moon River.” We celebrate him!
**REBLOG, RETWEET, BE SWEET**
This episode is great, not only because you get to hear me flirt with Nellie, my second big deal crush we’ve had on the show since Parnell.
oh-whiskers asked: How does it feel to be called "the Oprah of podcasts" by the AV Club?
Amazing!
From the divine Marrilee Wilson, who puts as her subject header “Greetings from a Black Woman in Halifax, Nova Scotia Canada” in every email she sends me:
“Here’s a pic of me and Amana’Kin (a prop I use when I film comedy skits). I call her “my oppressor” because she privileged and white. She said she could identify with you more because your both white and Jewish. I didn’t say anything, because she always stocks the fridge and doesn’t borrow my shoes.”
This photo is perfect in ways that have literally not been invented yet.

How Was Your Week: Episode 59
“The Boyfriend Experience: Michael K, Jessica St. Clair & Lennon Parham”Four-Twenty, Dudes! Right? Wrong! Never call people “dudes” unless you’re addressing a convention of lookalikes of Sean Penn’s character in that one movie. Yes, Dead Man Walking! Anyhoo.
This week’s show features THREE incredible guests. First, Julie speaks to the Hottest Slut of All Time Ever, Michael K, the editor of Dlisted.com, about his job as a phone sex operator, the good things Perez Hilton donated to society when he was just starting out, the backlash he gets from blog readers, and the last time he threw up.
Then, Jessica St. Clair and Lennon Parham, the stars and creators of NBC’s Best Friends Forever, are here to discuss how infuriating it is that Julie doesn’t know from Anne of Green Gables, the terrors of working in sunny Filipinotown, the problem behind the premise of Beaches, and how much cashmere Nancy Meyers wears to direct her movies.
Plus—Mario Lopez’s Army is sent into battle, Diane Keaton cracks the Twitter code, why Julie doesn’t want you-know-who Love-Cobain contacting her, and how “slut” is the best compliment.
Also, Julie feels like Shirley McClaine for an exciting, cat-related reason! The lyrics to the Frasier theme song are explained, finally! The term “Rowdy Cop” is used! The new Chuck E. Cheese policy is illuminated! And a disgusting Chevy Chase anecdote is revealed.
This episode is ready to get rowdy!
