Personal reunion show! After sliding into Jessi's DM's to congratulate her on her first comedy special, “Minivan Money”, it occurred to me that we hadn't spoken in way too long. Jessi and I go back to the naughty noughties, when MTV’s Aftershow was just taking shape and they still served hosts and guests (like me) hard liquor during the live broadcast.
In this episode, we go allll the way back to those days on the Aftershow couch and chat about her entire career evolution to present day. Jessi is now a mom, writer, host of a hit podcast (Phone A Friend) and incredibly successful touring comedian.
In this episode, we dive into:
- Context and behind the scenes scoop on those early days with MTV Canada
- "Incidents" that took place and questionable things I said on air (O.m.gee.)
- Her jump from the network over to LA
- What gave her to the push to start creating content for the internet
- New Mom Who Dis, and the possibility that Justin Trudeau has her on a blacklist
- How hosting "thankless" Canadian awards shows evolved into standup
- The celebrity she offended too badly to recover from on the Emmy's red carpet
and SO much more.
Her career has taken her down a wavy road, and she's incredibly entrepreneurial in her approach to everything. Listen in and let me know what you think.
