Funny Cuz It"s True with Elyse Myers

Hello, and welcome to my podcast. I first went viral on TikTok after telling the story of how I got stuck buying 100 tacos on a first date. Since then, it’s been a wild and crazy ride. I now have millions of eyeballs watching my videos on a daily basis (which is just a terrifying number of eyeballs, honestly). Each week on my podcast Funny Cuz It’s True, I’ll be sitting down with my favorite creators, friends and comedians to find the stories that have stuck with them and changed their lives in

Hold on to your backpacks people, cuz’ Ellie Kemper is here! Her roles in The Office, The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and Bridesmaids are nothing short of iconic. We passionately discuss energy hoarding, family and setting boundaries at work. Newsflash: Me and Ellie are deeply on the same page about virtually EVERYTHING.

Mae is a standup comedian, writer and star/creator of the show Feel Good. We discussed their new Netflix standup special called SAP, which has a mind-blowing bit about how humans communicate.

2023/06/21

I giggled so hard during this episode that I nearly lost it, but it's no surprise considering our guest, Natalie Morales, is an incredibly delightful person. You may know her from performances as Lucy on "Parks and Recreation," in the dark comedy-drama "Dead to Me," and her recent appearance on Mel Brooks' "History of the World".

Sam Bee is one of the most beloved Daily Show correspondents of all time and has personally been nominated for 18 freaking Emmy Awards. And if that wasn’t enough, she’s the host of an amazing new podcast called Choice Words, right here on Lemonada Media. Sam and I talked about touring for her standup show, “Your Favorite Woman”.

Nimesh Patel is a standup comedian, former SNL writer, producer and on top of all of that, he has a freaking finance degree from NYU. Nimesh tells me the story behind his hilarious new special called “Lucky Lefty”, where he muses on his testicular cancer diagnosis and cure.

Funny Cuz It"s True with Elyse Myers ·

2023/05/31

Every week my son August and I would watch our favorite ever dancer Amanda Kloots perform on Dancing with the Stars. She was truly amazing, and that's just one of the reasons I’m so excited she’s joining us today. We talk about her son Elvis, writing through grief, and the joys of working with family. I’m pretty sure I convinced her to star in her own screenplay and cried at least 7 times throughout our conversation, I’m not worried about it!

And if that wasn’t enough, she starred in amazing TV shows like “The Good Place” and “She-Hulk Attorney at Law.” Jameela shares with me the wild journey that got her to “The Good Place,” her first-ever acting role (!!)

Funny Cuz It"s True with Elyse Myers ·

2023/05/17

Zach Zimmerman has a custom-made sweater to match their new book “Is It Hot in Here (Or Am I Suffering for All Eternity for the Sins I Committed on Earth)?” Yes, it’s a heck of a title, and just like the book, we unpack a lot together. Zach tells me about the best advice they got from their “burrito boss” and why their comedy is both “delightful and devastating.” I also do a teeny bit of trauma dumping. Just a teeny bit.

Getting Wise (with Julia Louis-Dreyfus)

2023/05/03

Julia Louis-Dreyfus has done so many incredible things in her career and for me personally. Her character Elaine on Seinfeld has been my icon for style and hair since childhood. She tells me about her career from SNL to Veep, and why she can’t imagine being anything other than an actress. Among her many, many new projects is her podcast Wiser Than Me, where she’s getting wisdom from older women she deeply admires. Yeah, I can relate to being in that position.

Taking My ADHD Meds (with Rainn Wilson)

2023/04/26

I know Rainn Wilson best as Dwight Schrute from “The Office,” but I get to see a different side of him in our conversation. Rainn tells me how he knew acting was in his blood growing up, and how struggling with his mental health led him on a spiritual journey. He shares what he learned on this journey in his new book “Soul Boom: Why We Need a Spiritual Revolution.” Oh, and this will make sense later, but that tidbit about Stevie Nicks? Total myth. All in all, our chat feels like sipping tea in a

Listen, I talk to a lot of creative people on this show. But when I saw Josh Johnson’s Peacock special “Up Here Killing Myself” and listened to his mixtape “Elusive” I was like – this person is really thinking out of the box. Josh is not only a creative genius, he’s a writer for the Daily Show with Trevor Noah and a standup comedian. We talk about how comedy is the last step of healing and keeping our crafts timeless.

Chelsea Devantez is a comedian, writer, producer, podcaster and my burning question for her is: how does she balance it all?
