Hello everyone, I'm Jinx Monsoon and welcome to a brand new episode of Hi Jinx with me Jinx Monsoon.

Today my guest is Paula fucking Pell. I am so obsessed with Paula Pell. Paula has been around

writing for all the funniest shows for many, many years and lately she has been stepping in front of the camera

and just knocking it out of the park with every character she does.

You might know her from AP Bio. You might know her from her newest show Girls 5 Eva.

You might know her from little cameo appearances she's made in all your other favorite shows.

Today we're gonna talk all about her life as a writer, a performer and a lesbian today on Hi Jinx.

So buckle up, hunker down and sink your teeth into some brand new Hi Jinx.

Hello everyone, I'm Jinx Monsoon.

Hi Jinx Monsoon and welcome to Hi Jinx, a podcast where I, an internationally tolerated drag superstar,

get to interview compelling and fascinating people about how they became who they are and why they do what they do.

Today we are joined by Emile Ward winning writer, producer and actor Paula Pell. Hi Paula.

Hi Jinx, how are you? I'm so good. I'm so freaking excited for this interview.

You have just been a constant mainstay on the television in my house.

Honestly, we put on best of clips when we've got like 10 minutes to kill or when we're having lunch and we need something funny to watch to get through lunch.

I don't know where to start because I think you are a fucking talent tornado.

Can I say fucking on this podcast? Oh, we say all the words.

Is this only played in hospital lobbies?

I think you're just an absolute incredible talent and I'm so very honored to be here.

Well, thank you so much, Paula.

You have worked for years as a writer and then somewhat recently, though we've seen you, you know, we've seen you make on screen appearances throughout your work as a writer.

But somewhat recently you've really shifted the scale and now you're doing a lot more in front of the camera work.
