Welcome to Getting Curious, I'm Jonathan Van Ness, and every week I sit down for a gorgeous conversation with a brilliant expert to learn all about something that makes me curious.

On today's episode, I'm joined by the one, the only, a literal icon who I've literally loved for so long. I can't believe I get to interview her.

Oh my god, I love her so much. Welcome to the show, Molly Shannon, where I ask her, how did you become such a superstar?

Can I tell you, like everyone, this is like such a major, this is like our like 200 and like 60 something episode.

This is like one of the most major life changing guests moments. I have Molly, what's about welcome to get a literally Molly Shannon.

You're here. You're gonna give me that. Wait, we have to start the interview by saying, do you like the way my hair looks?

I love your love. I love your casual love. I use this more. No, you did it.

No, I did. Yeah, I use a JVN on Damage Strengthening Shampoo and the Ultra Daily Volumizing Condition. I love it.

Oh my god. My hair is so soft. So we need to start that way. You guys, Molly's literally using undamaged in a body.

I'm gonna, my clear hands are shaking. Okay, so enough about me. Well, actually, I'm gonna talk more about myself.

I've loved you for a really long time. You are. No, seriously, like you were my first comedian love so much of the way that I look at the world is superstar.

It is. Girl, like it's Evian go drink a bottle of yourself. Okay. I could literally sit here and see.

Superstar for no, it's like it's so major and you're so major and you're first because this is your first book that you did.

This is like your first memory. And also, clever and cute is the name. Hello, Molly. Thank you so much.

It was actually somebody from Harper cons that thought of that genius. Our books are like sisters are like a little.

I can't believe that my book gets to be your book sister and I know we're book sisters. We're like book people like we should do like what we're doing a nerdy book exchange.

We're gonna see you know what I mean. Congratulations on your book.

And your book on your book because and this is major because I wrote my first book over the top in 2019.

When people ask me what it was like to write my first memory. It's interesting because well, when I feel like it turned me into a writer like I love to write I consider myself an author now.

I love writing. But it also the first time felt like putting my soul in like a food processor and then like having to like eat it or something.

I was like a little painful. And it's hard. And so I'm really proud of you for doing it.

You were incredibly courageous and just amazing in your book. It is just amazing. Also, I feel like it is very surreal for me, Molly because I once washed your hair.
