Anjelah Johnson-Reyes: Ugly Baby & Toddler Tour Life

About this episode

Nikki & Brie catch up with Anjelah Johnson-Reyes about motherhood, career, and her new comedy special.

Nikki & Brie reunite with longtime friend and comedy powerhouse Anjelah Johnson-Reyes for a heartfelt, hilarious catch-up that spans motherhood, career evolution, and everything in between. The conversation gets real about how life has changed in their 40s—and how becoming moms has softened, challenged, and reshaped them. Anjelah shares what it’s like bringing her daughter on tour, navigating mom guilt, and learning how to balance it all while staying true to herself. The trio also dives into Anjelah’s brand new comedy special Ugly Baby, her most vulnerable work yet, where she opens up about motherhood, body changes, and finding humor in it all. Plus, they play a fun round of “Ugly Baby Jeopardy,” swap parenting stories, and talk boundaries, fame, and raising confident kids. It’s honest, funny, and full of love. Press play.
