Hello everybody and welcome to Adam Ruins Everything the podcast. I am your host

Adam Conover. I am also the host of the TV show Adam Ruins Everything on

True TV which is currently in our

off season but you can find clips and full episodes of the show at True TV.com

slash Adam Ruins Everything and the Watch True TV app. For those of you listening for your first time on my TV show,

I tell you the awful truth about everything

that you never wanted to have to need to know,

to learn to find out.

I think our tagline is something like that. I don't know. I always forget it. It's too

complicated. But on the show I have experts on, they come on to sort of talk about all

their incredible work, but on the TV show they only come on for 90 seconds on this

podcast I bring them on and we talk for 45 minutes an hour sometimes about all of the

incredible things that they have learned or found out. Today we have someone who has firsthand knowledge of one of our topics. Her name is Rachel Bloom and she appeared on Adam Ruins Hollywood. You guys are probably familiar with her already. She is the co-creator and star of Crazy Ex Girlfriend on the

CW, which is an absolutely incredible show. I'm sure you guys are big fans already, and if you're not,

I you're going to be one after this interview. I actually

met Rachel when we were both getting started as little baby comedians in New York

City doing free shows in bar basements and now within a year of each other we

both have TV shows on the air.

Only difference between hers and mine.

She won a golden globe for hers.

So on Adam Ruins Hollywood, she talked about red carpet fashion,

and we went into detail about all the crazy campaigning that TV shows have to do, all the money they spend in order
