Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Adam Lambert on the advice he got from Lady Gaga, toxic masculinity in the gay community, and the reality behind being the first openly gay artist to get a number one album
Q: Adam, welcome to the show. What has been the most defining moment for you as an out artist trying to break into the mainstream?
The defining moment was publicly embracing my identity during and after American Idol, proving that visibility can coexist with commercial success and that staying true to myself could inspire others.
Russell T Davies on It's a Sin, Bad Script Notes and When He First Felt Seen on Screen
Q: What is the most frustrating note you've received about a show or script, and how did you respond?
He explains that most notes are vague and sometimes unhelpful, emphasizing that writers must interpret notes rather than follow vague directives like simply labeling a character as boring or requesting a non-specific tick or twitch.
Russell T Davies on It's a Sin, Bad Script Notes and When He First Felt Seen on Screen
Q: What has been the hardest scene you've had to write?
Davies describes a hospital scene where a mother discovers her son is HIV positive and dying, noting it was drawn from many real stories and that he felt a deep responsibility to portray it accurately after decades of thinking about it.
The Group Chat! Dame Elaine Paige On Singing With Freddie Mercury, Her All Time Fave Musical Theatre Song, and Why She Hates Group Chats
Q: Can you tell me a fond memory from working with Freddie Mercury?
While I never sang with Freddie live, I collaborated on a Queen album concept using a symphony orchestra, and Freddie would visit the studio, share moments at the piano, and marvel at the idea of reinterpreting their songs, which was both thrilling and intimate.
The Group Chat! Charly Clive on Steve Carell, Recovering from A Brain Tumour and Why the Best Revenge is Living Well
Q: What scene would you love to recreate from Rooster?
She would love a sauna moment with Walt (John C. McGinley) and Katie; she imagines a detective spinoff with the two characters.
