The Matlock reboot is huge! Are you watching? I've been trying to have Matlock actor Jason Ritter (also known for Parenthood, Gravity Falls, Joan of Arcadia, etc) back on Really Famous after this excellent talk from 2019 but we just haven't worked it out yet, so I thought, let's enjoy this one that we already have on the books!

You'll hear us talk about:

  • Parenthood - why he loved it, which scenes made him cry (as a viewer!)
  • People, perfection and the real deal
  • The downside of potential
  • Growing up with a very famous dad (actor Jason Ritter)
  • What happened after his dad died
  • Embarrassment and the Golden Rule
  • Why he stopped drinking
  • AA
  • ADHD
  • Therapy
  • Fame (then vs. now)
  • Our favorite TV shows
  • The Bachelor
  • The Carbonaro Effect
  • Game of Thrones
  • A few of his heroes who were guests on Really Famous:
    • Joe Mantegna
    • Michael Ian Black
    • Michael Carbonaro
