Summary
Adam Pally is a comedy favorite, but more importantly, he’s Danielle’s kids' favorite actor.
But before he became a fixture in the Sonic the Hedgehog universe, Adam was a struggling student, trying to find his comedic voice and obsessing over a woman who would later share his last name.
Listen as Adam shares his most embarrassing teenage stories - and reveals just how bad a student you can be and still end up in Iron Man 3.
From “Happy Endings” to “The Mindy Project” to "The Mandalorian," Adam has always been hard to pin down - that is unless it's a brand new Teen Beat!

| 1:03.5 | everything was caught on camera. So now, 30 years later, it's time to turn the tables. On Teen Beat, |
| 1:10.5 | I will sit down with interesting people |
| 1:12.3 | who have accomplished interesting things, hoping that a look into their un-televised |
