Paging Dr. McJewy - With Jamie Denbo
Notes de l’épisode
Jamie Denbo is an actress, comedian, formerly a writer and producer on Grey’s Anatomy (yes, that Grey’s Anatomy), and creator of The Beverly Podcast! Oh, you may have also seen her on Curb Your Enthusiasm and How I Met Your Mother.
We talk to Jamie (and Beverly) about comedy, Hollywood, Jewish moms, what we can learn about antisemitism from 12-step programs, and what happened post-October 7th in the writer’s room of a hit show (unfortunately, nothing good).
Also:
* Can we talk about The Pitt instead of Grey’s Anatomy?
* Whispers of support, public silence.
* Turns out people don’t know what Jews are.
* Your coworkers posted what on Instagram??
* You can learn a lot from the antisemites.
* An abundance of anger.
* One righteous man in the writer’s room.
* How can there be antisemitism when Donna Martin from 90210 is Jewish?
* How much is real estate in the Shtetl?
* Beverly is for everyone! (and thank you to the Jewish Writers Institute)
* Everyone has an inappropriate, overly-sexualized aunt.
* Which kind of Jews are more annoying - women or men?
* Call your mother!!!
