Summary

She knocks it out of the park in every medium! From the bright lights of Broadway to the small and big screen - she doesn't miss!

Jenna welcomes the super-talented and super-busy actress Tracie Thoms to the pod! TV fans know her from "Cold Case" and "9-1-1," while movie fans remember her as Joanne in the film adaptation of "Rent," and as Andy's best friend in "The Devil Wears Prada" and the upcoming sequel! Tracie talks about it all, including what it was like shooting the original 'Prada' film versus the sequel, dealing with paparazzi on the set, and the blessings of being part of a long-running hit series. Plus, she shares how she got into acting, her big break with "Rent," what playing Joanne meant to her, and Jenna shares an embarrassing story that still "haunts" her to this day!
