    Emmy Winner Niecy Nash-Betts Reacts to Critics Who ‘Hated’ Her Show

    07/2/2026 | 34 mins.
    On this episode of Obsessed, Matt Wilstein is joined by producer Rachel Passer to kick things off with a lively conversation about the Super Bowl, Bad Bunny’s highly anticipated halftime show, and how politics, pop culture, and criticism collide on TV’s biggest stage. Then, Matt sits down with Emmy-winning icon Niecy Nash-Betts for a candid, funny, and deeply personal conversation about her career—from Reno 911! to Getting On, Ryan Murphy collaborations, and that unforgettable Emmy win. Niecy opens up about navigating critical backlash, supporting Kim Kardashian amid All’s Fair reviews, and trusting her own path despite the noise. It’s a joyful, honest reflection on longevity, ambition, and why the critics don’t always have the final word.

    TV’s Funniest Nurse Allison Tolman: Why I’m Jealous of ‘The Pitt’

    05/2/2026 | 33 mins.
    On this episode of Obsessed, Kevin Fallon is joined by producer Rachel Passer as they process the shock of Catherine O’Hara’s death and reflect on the warmth, humanity, and legacy she left behind. Kevin then sits down for a candid, funny, and surprisingly emotional conversation with actress and Critics’ Choice Award winner, Allison Tolman. During this conversation, they discuss all things comfort TV, career survival, and why ‘St. Denis Medical’ feels like exactly the show people need right now. Along the way, the episode gets messy and honest about Hollywood’s blind spots, casting shortcuts, and the uncomfortable truth that in this industry, there’s no such thing as “arriving.”

    ‘Summer House’ Star Reveals ‘Excuse’ for Rock-Bottom Bender

    03/2/2026 | 57 mins.
    On this episode of Obsessed, Kevin Fallon breaks down the biggest, buzziest moments from the Grammy Awards with producer Rachel—covering everything from Bad Bunny’s powerful speeches and iconic performances to Cher chaos and pop-star discourse worth arguing about. Then, Kevin sits down with Summer House star Carl Radke for a raw, funny, and deeply human conversation about life on reality TV, sobriety, grief, mental health, and what it means to live your hardest moments in front of the cameras. From Bravo fame and shower shots to recovery, vulnerability, and finding purpose through connection, it’s an episode that balances pop culture absurdity with genuine emotional weight—and proves why Summer House (and Carl Radke) hit deeper than anyone expects.
