Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#1, No Dagger with David Sedaris
Q: What was the most surprising thing you learned while researching or writing your new book?
Sedaris describes the process of turning ordinary experiences into narrative, noting how language constraints and audience expectations shape what makes it into the page, and how personal memory interacts with performance when the material is read aloud.
Billy on Billy with Julie
Q: What motivated you to write Billy on Billy as an audio memoir?
Billy explains that the memoir was driven by a desire to present a more authentic, multi-faceted version of himself beyond the on-screen personas, and to honor his parents who were instrumental in shaping his love of performance.
Jon Cryer: Comedy/ Drama
Q: What are your memories of the Spelling Bee stage experience and how did the transition from TV to stage feel?
Cryer talks about the thrill and challenge of joining a musical in a storied New York setting, noting the level of talent and the intense preparation required, including adapting to live singing and choreography.
Jon Cryer: Comedy/ Drama
Q: What was it like working with Gene Hackman and how did you handle the Superman 4 experience?
Hackman was warm and generous, a steady presence who remained professional even as the production faced financial and logistical issues; Cryer describes the on-set atmosphere as both exciting and challenging, with Hackman's calm contrasting the film's behind-the-scenes chaos.
Jon Cryer: Comedy/ Drama
Q: Tell me about your relationship with Matthew Broderick and how you two compared then and now.
The two of you mirrored each other early on, sharing a similar look and dynamic; they ended up never being cast together in the same project, but they developed mutual respect and a sense of professional kinship from their overlapping early careers.
