We're so happy to welcome esteemed actor and badass lady Mary McDonnell (Dances With Wolves, Major Crimes, Battlestar Galactica) to the basement for the last Happy Hour of 2018! We dive into her career - from how she initially wasn't interested doing in Dance With Wolves, to playing the first lady in Independence Day, to playing the president on Battlestar Galactica. Besides the first lady-president connection, Mary discusses the influence of Hillary Clinton (and Nancy Pelosi, amongst others). We love this woman! Check out her own podcast, Lady Bam. Cheers!

We talk to some of our Stephanie Miller Show beloveds - Lisa Bloom, Jessica Michelle Singleton, @proudresister Ryan Knight, Katherine Fugate, Madeline, the 12-year-old pundit, Judy Tenuta, Christopher Gorham, and Mona Shaik - and to find out what their holiday wishes are and their hopes for 2019.

Beverly D'Angelo (National Lampoon's Vacation movies, Entourage) is a trip without a suitcase - in the best way possible. She is hi-larious. She sings!

Spencer Garrett is not just that guy from that thing. From his role as Tom Delay to his part on 'House of Cards' to currently co-starring in 'The Front Runner' as Bob Woodward (in theaters now), he's usually that political guy from that political thing. Even behind the scenes, he's a producer on the podcast 'America 2.0' - a West Wing-style audio drama. He discusses that, plus his recently filmed roles in Quentin Tarantino's next film 'Once Upon A Time In Hollywood' and Jay Roach's 'Fair and Balanced' where he plays Sean Hannity.

Celebrate this Thanksgiving weekend with one of the women we're most thankful for - Gloria Allred! Recorded earlier this year before the podcast went free, we discuss some of Gloria's high-profile cases, her hair styles over the years, and her current relationship status. Steph also recounts how her liberal mom Gloria held her hand in the ambulance after a fall off the stage at a Sexy Liberal show in Philadelphia.

The hilarious Scott Thompson (Kids In the Hall) grabs a Rusty Nail and heads down to the basement to discuss being out and gay through the 80's and what he can say as Buddy Cole that he can't say as Scott Thompson. We share some major laughs - and have some disagreements - but find common ground in knowing that it is definitely NOT best to be ahead of your time.

Frangela returns to help us recap the blue wave. Then travel back to election day and the conversations we had with our friends Emilio Estevez, Mark Hamill, and Lea Thompson. Emilio reports what he saw driving through the border. Mark does some Trump sayings as the Joker! And Lea basks once more in the Sexy Liberal afterglow before she hikes out to her polling place. Relax (for now). We won! Take a drink and enjoy!

Laurence Fishburne is in the basement! Morpheus is here! Or Perry White, or Goliath, depending on who you're asking. We had a fun time discussing his career, starting with being cast in 'Apocalypse Now!' at the age of 14, and all the memorable roles he's brought his gravitas to ever since. We discuss his show 'Black-ish' and the topics they've covered that haven't really been seen on TV before. We also get into some of his comic book and sci-fi roles, of which Laurence is definitely a fan. Check it out!

The one and only Jane Fonda dropped by to do the big radio and talk about her legendary career from fitness to activism and the awards she's picked up along the way!

Homina homina homina... Okay, keep it together. How do you interview a comedy legend like Carol Burnett? What can you ask that hasn't already been asked before? It helps that she's joined by our good friend and Carol's daughter Jody Hamilton. We get some great stories from Carol's career, as well as tales from Jody's upbringing.
