Lisa Joyner spent years interviewing celebrities on the red carpet. Then she married one.
In our very first episode, Lisa shares how Jon Cryer developed an instant crush on her while she thought he might be gay, what it was like going from entertainment journalist to Hollywood plus one, and the emotional journey that took her from being adopted herself to adopting a child and eventually meeting her biological parents.
Grab some tissues. You're going to laugh, cry, and fall in love with Lisa's story.
