Summary

Jess is joined by her high school classmate: actress, singer, performer Jackie Tohn! Jackie Tohn moved to LA at 18 to pursue her Hollywood dreams after growing up on Long Island and appearing on "The Sopranos" and "The Nanny" (as a young Fran Drescher). Jackie reminisces about her experiences on those shows, plus her stints on "American Idol," Bravo's "Platinum Hit" and her big break as "Melrose" on Netflix's "GLOW" for three seasons. We also chat about dating Jason Mraz and hosting the new Netflix cooking competition show "Best Leftovers Ever."
