Michelle Buteau chats with Krista Smith in New York for the return of Survival of the Thickest (Season 2). Buteau stars as the vibrant and charming Mavis Beaumont — a resilient stylist determined to pioneer a space for the women often ignored in a world of high-fashion.
Buteau shares on Skip Intro what it took to overcome rejection in her own life, how to stand in your power, and her commitment to "make it fun!"
We also catch up on Buteau's last five years as a mom of twins and what it was like to make history as the first woman to film a stand-up special at Radio City Music Hall.
