Summary
Comedy legend Bruce Vilanch joins Big Dipper and Meatball for an episode packed with Hollywood lore, gay chaos and normalizing pooping in the pool. Bruce dishes on the real old-Hollywood parties, why Dolly Parton is the ultimate problem-solver, and what it was like writing for TV back when jokes were carved into stone tablets. He opens up about being “too fat for the paparazzi,” his days as a childhood model called Charming Chub, and how he landed his now-iconic red glasses. The trio dives into the changing landscape of comedy, the true key to a successful roast, and the power of embracing your flops—including the ones Bruce lovingly chronicles in his new book, It Seemed Like a Bad Idea at the Time. Plus: the unexpected allure of working gay cruises, and a very Sloppy Seconds discussion about the party delicacy known simply as “fruit salad.” Tune in for jokes, gossip, and legendary gay history from an icon who’s seen (and written) it all, this is a special one!
