Episode #17 is ALL about joy, laughter, and the pursuit of merriment! Our guest, Joe DiPietro fits that theme perfectly. Joe is a TONY award-winning playwright and lyricist. His musical Memphis earned him a TONY for Best Book and Best Original Score. This was also the first show that brought Jimmy Roberts and Joe together, a collaboration that has led to several shows by the duo. His newest original musical, Three Summers of Lincoln, began a WORLD PREMIERE just this week at LaJolla Playhouse, directed by Christopher Ashley.
Landyn also celebrates 50 years of Saturday Night Live and shares her newfound love of TikTok. It's also been a few weeks since we checked in on The Traitors so we fixed that with a new segment of "TRAITOR TALK!" All of this and SO much more on an all-new episode of NO FUCKS LEFT.
