About this episode

Jamie Lee joins Heather McDonald to discuss her new one-woman show, the future of television writing, and celebrity news including Brad Pitt's family drama.

I am so thrilled to be joined on today's Juicy Scoop by the hilarious Jamie Lee! She is an Emmy winning writer for the hit show Ted Lasso, and you also know her incredible work as an actress and writer on Crashing and so many other amazing projects. Today, Jamie is here to dive into her latest one-woman show, where she investigates the surprising death of a friend from when she was 20 years old and sets out to solve the mystery of what actually happened. Plus, we are getting into the future of television writing and how AI might impact the industry, breaking down the drama surrounding Brad Pitt’s kids dropping his last name (and whether he'll start a new family with his younger girlfriend), and dissecting why celebrities weren't allowed to wear heels on the runway at the Sports Illustrated fashion show.
