Leah Remini

“To walk into a room and make people smile, that to me is such a gift.” You’ve never met a nicer, more compassionate badass than Leah Remini — trust us. She’s Bensonhurst through and through, and she knows it and flaunts it. Also, she’s as famous and as humble as they come. Did Jimmy Burroughs really throw her under the bus at a sitcom taping, telling her, “I disagree Leah, I think the president of the network is a lovely guy, you’re wrong”...right in front of that president? What did Leah learn in some of her earliest acting classes? There’s a lot to unpack here, and the laughs abound. What about the time the casting folks and producers talked the whole time she was auditioning? Did they like her audition? “No, they said they didn’t like YOU as a person.” Damn, rejection is cold, but Leah Remini somehow makes it heartwarming.
