In this episode, D’s guest is longtime friend and multi-hyphenate screenwriter-producer-director, Gregory Poppen.
Greg and Deren first crossed paths back in the day on movie sets, and while Deren was busy doing… well, whatever Deren does, Greg was busy building a career that stretches across just about every corner of entertainment. From heartwarming Disney holiday specials to edgy ESPY Awards monologues, and even wrangling the live TV circus at Miss Universe (yep, that one — you know the moment where Steve Harvey announced the wrong winner), Poppen’s been there, done that, and probably wrote the script for it too.
Get ready — this conversation promises stories, laughs, and maybe a little behind-the-scenes dirt you didn’t know you needed.
