About this episode

Heather McDonald interviews Wendi McLendon-Covey about her latest role, the roast culture, and reality TV drama.

Today, I am joined by the hilarious comedic powerhouse Wendi McLendon-Covey, and we are diving deep into her latest role on the hit series St. Denis Medical, trust me, you’ll die for her stories from the set. We also tackle the aftermath of the Kevin Hart roast, debating whether the art of the roast has finally crossed the line or if people just need to toughen up for the sake of comedy. Of course, we couldn't ignore Wendi’s iconic turn in Bridesmaids; I share my personal pitch for what the sequel should look like, and it is a total game-changer. Finally, we get into the heavy-hitting Bravo tea, from the messy divorce drama between Dorit and PK, including the latest on her living situation, to the explosive scandal of a Real Housewife allegedly sleeping with West from Summer House. Plus, we’re breaking down the fresh drama coming out of the Real Housewives of Rhode Island. -Head to DailyLook.com to take your style quiz and use code JUICYSCOOP for 50% off your first order. -Head to Quince.com/juicy for free shipping on your order and 365-day returns. -Our listeners can buy one prescription pair and get 20% off additional pairs at WarbyParker.com/JUICYSCOOP — and using our link…
