Hey guys, Willie Geist here with another episode of the Sunday Sit Down podcast.

My thanks as always for clicking and listening along.

Got a really fun one for you today with the one and only Jamie Lee Curtis.

We can call her Academy Award winner after she won the Oscar a few years ago for her

performance in everything everywhere all at once. She's also now an Emmy winner for her performance in the hit show, The Bear.

How to set up this interview? We're all over the place in the best way. So Jamie and I sat down.

We caught up for a while. Things you need to

know as we start our conversation. We were talking about how she, of course, comes from very,

very famous parents, the Hollywood actors Janet Lee from Psycho and Tony Curtis. So she was talking

about how oftentimes people would ask immediately about her parents. My father,

Bill Geist, was a longtime correspondent at CBS. So we were talking about how every once in a while

people will come up and just ask about your parents, which is kind of cool. We also have a mutual

friend, the great historian John Meacham, who was a professor at Vanderbilt University, and a big

fan of Jamie Lee's husband,

the great Christopher guest. Why am I telling you all this? Because I think as we start the

interview, it's important for you to know these details. Just a great conversation about

ostensibly her new movie, Ella McKay. She plays Aunt Helen in this movie. She'll talk about that.

But before we even get to the movie, we talk about her life and her career and this incredible

hot streak that she's on right now. She started when she was 19 years old. Her first movie was

Halloween. And just a couple of years ago, they did the last Halloween. Halloween ends. So it was

something in her life for 40-some years.

Everything she's done up until now and just having this moment at this point in her life and her career with that Oscar, with that Emmy, all the good things coming her way and so well deserved.
