Summary

We are so freaking lucky, Fortune Feimster is here! We had a blast diving into her character alter egos, hoarding wigs, and her start at the Groundlings Theater. We talked about Fortune’s transition from journalist to comedian and she gave me a sneak peek into Chelsea Handler's hilarious hiring practices.
