      Amen. That was simply exhausting. I don't think I've ever listened to an interview of someone so marginally interesting who is so obviously fascinated by her own manic thoughts. No wonder she and Guest have to live separate lives under the same roof.

    Once you have seen Kevin Pollak do an interview, it's really hard to watch a late night talk show interview. They just don't have the depth, or the wealth of an interview that Kevin does. I've always liked Jamie Lee, but she is just such a warm and fascinating person. I love this interview. I love the format, and I love Kevin Pollak chat show.

      What's really amazing is how many incredible stories there are if you add up everything in all these interviews.. sometimes it's stuff you couldn't find in any other interview, biography, etc.. it's amazing to know you are listening to the only time something has likely ever been publicly told..

    Wow, I randomly clicked on this expecting a little interview with Jamie Lee Curtis about her film career. Then realised it was a feature length, passionate and honest declaration of who she is. Life changing.

    One of the best half-dozen Chat Shows, Chat Show. Everyone who ever thinks "I want to be an actor" should be required to watch this conversation. I didn't think I could admire Ms.Curtis more: I was wrong. She is the best friend everyone wants. Thanks as always Kevin.

    What a woman. And could you believe this human being ever felt that she was not good enough? It's so sad. I wish I could give her a great big bear hug. And I'd like to give one to Kevin, Samm and Jamie Fox as well for a wonderful show. All the best from rural Norway.

    As an actor, Jamie has gone through it all. Made a name and place for herself and learned the real ins and outs of the business. Hearing such honesty and truth in her interview made me proud to be an actress. I'll keep going! Now time to watch A Fish Called Wanda.

    True Lies is one of my all time favorite movies. I saw it while on a business trip. The next day, I told everyone at the facility about it, and a group of us went the following night. When I returned, I told my husband and all of my coworkers and we all saw it that weekend. Tom Arnold was excellent in it, and that little black dress Jamie wore was fabulous. I still remember her coming on the Letterman show wearing that dress.

  • @pisachanation942
    @pisachanation942 4 года назад +1

    I love Jamie Lee Curtis, and have loved her for a long time. She is talented, smart, funny, honest, real, flawed, and so willing to put herself out there for the whole world to see. She's so unlike many of the hollywood type people of yesterday and today in that she doesn't take herself so seriously. There is no doubt in my mind that she has helped numerous people shed their substance addictions, and saved lives in the process. It takes a lot of soul searching and being honest with yourself to the point where you realize you have a problem, and need help from others, many of whom are strangers, in order to survive. To many, dying is a lot easier.
    Bravery and courage are not things we see a lot of these days, but Jamie has them in spades, and she's not afraid to rattle some cages. We all, not just those who are addicted, can learn from her example. You go girl...Be the change.

  • @reedsawyer2432

    One of the best parts of KPCS is that we have the time to really get to know a little more about the subject. During the standard late night talk show interview program, we will have 3 minutes, with two minutes of that being schtick. This really goes in depth, I find it incredibly interesting.
    Jamie is gold.

    I feel like i know a tiny smidgen more about Mrs. Guest now. About millionth of 1% of the over all person. No matter what you think of Pollak, Mrs. Guest opened up to him as I am sure she rarely does for a "normal" interviewer. And Pollak is about as abnormal of an interviewer as you can get. I mean that is a good way MR. Pollak. Good job.

He immediately said Jamie Lee Curtis was terrible to work with, she made her assistant cry in front of everybody, I couldn't believe it cause she always appeared so humble. He's an honest man so I know it's probably unfortunately true, how you treat others says so much about you, how sad.

    She seems to have pigeonholed herself as "Halloween-Movie Girl" and "Scream Queen." I stopped thinking of her as that back in the mid-to-late-eighties, after Trading Places and A Fish Called Wanda. Of course, since then, so many great roles. She occasionally returns to the Halloween well, to show her appreciation, but she is so much more than Laurie Strode.

    Honestly I know most freelancers that work long and harder than people who get paid by the book. Creating and brand and identity and making a business out of it is far harder than a 16 hour actors job. I'll just assume Jamie Lee is set in life and is comfortable that's why she can speak this way. It amuses me how some people speak a certain way when they are comfortable at a point in their lives versus things not going their way and they need to fight to survive. I'll assume Jamie Lee has never been a freelancer before, but if she has, clearly she has forgotten where she came from, or at least situation that truly tested her metal being a freelancer.
