Comedian and actress Melissa Villaseñor (Saturday Night Live, America’s Got Talent, Netflix’s Verified Stand-Up) takes her shoes off and joins Rick for a refreshingly honest episode.
Melissa opens up about feeling embarrassed early in her career, the fear of not being funny, and learning how to trust her real voice — both on stage and in life. It's a vulnerable and hilarious conversation full of surprises, self-awareness, and some dog interruptions along the way.
