Ellen DeGeneres’ Memoir Seriously...I'm Kidding (with Liz Culley)

Glamorous Trash: A Celebrity Memoir Podcast

*Patron-only Bonus Episode Teaser* Chelsea and guest Liz Culley (host of the Cool Cool Cool podcast) dissect Ellen DeGeneres’ second memoir “Seriously...I'm Kidding,” plus her first memoir, and that infamous Buzzfeed article. They delve into the dual realities of Ellen’s joyful public persona and the controversies that shadow her career. From pivotal moments from “The Ellen Show” with Dakota Johnson, Jessica Simpson, and Mariah Carey, to behind-the-scenes insights on her Christian Scientist upbringing and surprise vow renewal ceremony with wife Portia de Rossi, this discussion unpacks the complexities of Ellen's "be kind" brand, and the hardships she faced as the very first publicly gay woman to lead her own show on network TV.

We’re going on tour in June!
