The Last Word (with Bess Kalb)

09/08/20 • 37 min
Jordana and Shannon speak with comedy writer and author Bess Kalb about her quarantine life as a new mom living with her own parents, writing for Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and her recent memoir, No One Will Tell You This But Me. Her book is about an extraordinary love story — but not necessarily one you'd expect: It's a chronicle of Bess' relationship with her Jewish grandmother, a housewife who was anything but ordinary and who helped shape Bess' upbringing and sense of humor.
