Zach Sang Show

Summer H. Howell joins us for her first-ever podcast interview! The rising star is here to talk about taking on the titular role in Mike Flanagan's new adaptation of Stephen King's telekentic teen bloodbath 'Carrie,' from auditioning over Zoom (and having to cry on command!) to finding the character, working opposite Samantha Sloyan, and getting absolutely drenched in blood. FYI the 22-year-old beat out 1400 hopefuls for the gig! We get into her most challenging scenes, the show's approach to bullying and social media, Mike bringing real teenagers into the writers' room, fan theories, and whether there could be a second — and third — season. Summer also takes us back to growing up in Manitoba, landing her first role in 'Curse of Chucky,' and developing her signature scream. We talk about how much her life has changed since 'Carrie,' her manifestation journal, tarot readings, crocheting cat hats, attending the Louis Vuitton fashion show, and her love of 'Hunter x Hunter.' Plus, her upcoming action movie 'Runaway' with Josh Duhamel, and so much more.

Hot on the heels of her hosting the ‘Let’s Marry Harry’ Reunion (woof - that was a car crash she navigated with aplomb!), Haley Baylee joins us to talk about her accidental path to becoming one of the internet’s biggest creators, from growing up with two mechanical engineer parents and wanting to become a doctor to pageants, modeling and eventually betting on herself following her divorce. She looks back at applying to a Sports Illustrated open call after being turned away by the only modeling agency in Minnesota, quitting modeling, and the 2022 Caleb Simpson apartment tour that first put her on millions of people’s feeds. She also gets into the nitty-gritty of her TikTok posting schedule, treating the internet like her group chat, how her audience has evolved, and why she’s grateful that her biggest success didn’t arrive until her 30s.She (diplomatically) explains what she really thinks of Harry Jowsey and whether dating and marriage shows can ever really be feminist. She opens up about being a self-described goodie two-shoes who was a virgin until marriage and who didn’t have a sip of booze till she was 22. Plus, she candidly discusses how her online community gave her the confidence to leave an abusive relationship, and her upcoming hosting gig, Netflix’s ‘Win the Mall.’SUBSCRIBE to Our Podcast ►►https://tinyurl.com/48yfe4v5SUBSCRIBE to YT ►►https://tinyurl.com/5n8km55uSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Eric Nam is back! We haven't had the singer, songwriter, actor, entrepreneur, producer and podcasting powerhouse on the show since 2022 — although Zach is convinced it's been seven years. What is time anyway! Somehow Eric looks younger than ever, despite having approximately 17 different careers. From growing up in Atlanta and singing in choir to becoming a major star in South Korea, building DIVE Studios and making his way back into the American entertainment industry, Eric reflects on his unconventional career, the changing relationship between K-pop and Western pop, and the power of curiosity. He also talks about his fourth album, 'Confessions of a Lonely Heart,' how heartbreak and broken trust have influenced his music, and why loneliness doesn't necessarily mean being sad or unfulfilled.Plus, Eric takes us behind the scenes of 'The Traitors,' including his initial reservations about joining the cast, getting stabbed in the back, AND secretly filming a music video with his fellow contestants. We also get into voicing Aang in 'Avatar: The Last Airbender,' auditioning for Hollywood roles, his experiences with 'K-Pop: The Debut,' and executive producing DAYOUNG's solo album. Naturally, there's also talk of Scorpio nightmares, astrological compatibility, Asian glow, and whether Zach or Dan would survive a single episode of 'The Traitors.'

Lance joins us to talk about his new show 'Cocktail Wars' with longtime bestie and fellow 'NSYNC member Joey Fatone, filming 10 shows in five days, and just how much liquor was imbibed. He takes us back to the early days of 'NSYNC, from living together and figuring out his place in the group to the moment he realized just how famous they'd become.

Things get a little witchy — and a lot chaotic — when the ‘Coven Academy’ stars Malina Pauli Weissman, Jordan Leftwich, Ora Duplass, and Louis Thresher hit the couch. The new supernatural series follows three teenage witches at an elite magic school in New Orleans, where they’re learning to control their powers while dealing with friendship, grief, dangerous secrets and, naturally, some very complicated crushes. Malina plays Briar, Jordan plays mind-reading Sasha, Ora plays time-bending Tegan, and Louis? Well he's struggling as the newly turned vampire Ollie. Also at the center of the story is Malachi Barton as warlock Jake — Ollie’s competition in a love triangle with Briar.We talk about the very real chemistry that emerged during chemistry reads (even via Zoom), first on-screen kisses, who the cast ship in the Briar/Jake/Ollie love triangle, and finding pieces of themselves in their characters. Plus: anxiety and OCD, grief, the show’s take on witches and vampires (and vampires queer energy overall), their instant sisterhood, magical powers they’d absolutely abuse IRL, ‘Wednesday,’ ‘Cruella’ and ‘Saltburn’ homework, music, their ’90s-icon co-star Tiffani Thiessen — and trying to figure out exactly who is the guncle, younger cousin, wine aunt and older sister of this very loud found family.SUBSCRIBE to Our Podcast ►►https://tinyurl.com/48yfe4v5SUBSCRIBE to YT ►►https://tinyurl.com/5n8km55uSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Hasan Minhaj joins us to talk about his new Netflix movie 'Best of the Best,' a college comedy set in the fiercely competitive world of Bollywood fusion dance. He gets into why this was basically Greek life for the South Asian diaspora, writing the movie during lockdown with Prashanth Venkataramanujam and pulling from some painfully true stories from his own life — including bidding hundreds of dollars he didn’t have on his future wife Beena at a UC Davis date auction. We also talk the star power of Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, the “Mindy Kaling effect,” A.R. Rahman, the Koh-i-Noor diamond, and why it’s taken so long to make a film like this one.Hasan also talks about being more present, making time away from his kids count and why he wants his work to entertain while still saying something. We get into finding love, laughter, and joy in a divided world, appreciation versus appropriation, his 2017 White House Correspondents’ Dinner and why “action is the antidote to anxiety.” Plus: does hard work actually equal success? Zillow stalking, his fedora phase, Zach’s eight dogs, and Hasan’s problem with dog people.SUBSCRIBE to Our Podcast ►►https://tinyurl.com/48yfe4v5SUBSCRIBE to YT ►►https://tinyurl.com/5n8km55uSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Waterparks’ Awsten Knight is back on the show — at this point, we’ve genuinely lost count of how many times he’s been here — but this time he’s joining us to talk about the band’s new album 'JINX.'Three years in the making, Awsten breaks down the themes behind the record, from existential dread and losing father figures to talking to his inner child and why creativity, for him, is so rooted in that younger version of himself. He also gets into rebuilding the Waterparks team, taking their live shows back to more intimate rooms and collaborating with Blink-182’s Mark Hoppus thanks to an assist from Dillon Francis.Predictably the conversation winds up unpredictable. Awsten talks skincare, scoring video games, why making 'JINX' was “better than therapy,” DeuxMoi making it onto the album and whether Austin is actually a good kisser. We also get into his suspiciously soft feet and aloe socks, Otto’s abs, Zach, Dan and Awsten’s sleeping habits, his paranormal obsession, homemade Ouija boards and EMF readers — before Awsten pitches a sleepover.See Waterparks on tour ►►https://tinyurl.com/8phumemkSUBSCRIBE to Our Podcast ►►https://tinyurl.com/48yfe4v5SUBSCRIBE to YT ►►https://tinyurl.com/5n8km55uSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Freya Skye is back! We first had her in back in 2025 alongside the cast of ‘ZOMBIES 4: Dawn of the Vampires,’ and this time the British singer and actress joins us solo to talk about her latest single ‘Bad Taste’ — bad taste in romantic partners, that is, and finding her identity outside of Disney. She gets into establishing her aesthetic, why she doesn’t think she’s cool, busking at 12, Junior Eurovision, the challenges of the Descendants/Zombies: Worlds Collide Tour tour, and her connection with Alex Warren and the hugely supportive parents who helped her chase her dreams from an early age.Freya also talks about the 40 songs she’s already made for her upcoming album, working with Julia Michaels and her love of Noah Kahan and Taylor Swift.

Tove Lo is back! One of our favorite return guests joins us to talk about her sixth album, ‘Estrus,’ out September 18, and the twisty four-year road that led her there. She breaks down the meaning behind the title — a female animal being “in heat” and why this resonates for her — and gets into writing the record in a tiny fishing village in Sweden, her Swedish versus LA selves, diving headfirst into dance music with SG Lewis and her DJ crew Ladies of Leisure.Tove also gets into what it’s like writing about love nine years into a relationship and contemplating motherhood. Are situationships harder to get over than relationships? And what’s up with her exes resurfacing whenever she releases new music — a phenom she addresses in “The Bad One.” Plus, we get into everything from her childhood detective alter ego Bianca Glitter Rose to working with Lisa and Rosalía, her relationship with mentor Max Martin, her stubbornness around ‘Habits (Stay High),’ why she prefers keeping the behind-the-scenes process behind the scenes, and whether she’s finally learned how to drive.Pre Order "Estrus" ►►https://tinyurl.com/55vvewjmSUBSCRIBE to Our Podcast ►►https://tinyurl.com/48yfe4v5SUBSCRIBE to YT ►►https://tinyurl.com/5n8km55uSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The inimitable Joey King joins us on the couch to talk about joining Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock in ‘Practical Magic 2.’ At just 27, Joey has already been acting for more than two decades, starting out in commercials at four before landing her breakout role opposite Selena Gomez in ‘Ramona and Beezus’ (which we chat about of course). In this wide-ranging convo she reflects on growing up on-screen, auditioning as the real work, and why acting is, inherently, a little embarrassing.Joey also gets into her longtime ‘Practical Magic’ fandom, working with Nicole and Sandy, the sisterhood at the heart of the movie, casting spells on set and midnight margaritas with her legendary co-stars. Plus, she talks texting with Nicole for life advice (as well as interrupting Nic and Zac Efron’s onscreen tryst in ‘A Family Affair,’ while almost choking on a grape), shaving her head and growing it back (and shaving it again and again), working with Christopher Nolan, learning from Patricia Arquette, her marriage to director Steven Piet, her bestie Sabrina Carpenter, being haunted on the set of ‘The Conjuring,’ and her ICONIC, shoulda-been-award-winning role as Gypsy Rose Blanchard — plus so much more!SUBSCRIBE to Our Podcast ►►https://tinyurl.com/48yfe4v5SUBSCRIBE to YT ►►https://tinyurl.com/5n8km55uSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

He breaks down how Banana Ball actually works, the social media machine behind the team, founders Jesse and Emily Cole’s PT Barnum-inspired approach to entertainment, his lingering MLB ambitions, and what he makes of critics — including Dave Portnoy — who think the Bananas are ruining baseball.Then it’s time to dance. Jackson talks about partnering with Emma Slater on ‘Dancing with the Stars,’ training for five hours a day until his feet were shredded, and why learning to dance has been one of the hardest things he’s ever done.
