Sony Music Entertainment

I’m breaking bread with big-name friends—old and new—for a delicious meal and candid convos that can only happen over a glass of wine. We're getting out of the studio and into my favorite restaurants across Los Angeles and New York City with people like Julie Bowen, Kristen Bell, Fred Armisen, Jesse Williams, Niecy Nash-Betts, and so many more. I know, a celebrity-interview podcast, who’s doing that? No one. Which is why I needed to.
 
We’ll get vulnerable about everything from relationships and family history, to mental health and imposter syndrome. We’ll laugh about my attempted modeling career and being starstruck by Beyoncé. Look, am I saying a chocolate soufflé is going to get me to reveal all my secrets? Yeah. Yeah, I am. So, join me… dinner’s on me.
 
Dinner’s on Me is a production of Sony Music Entertainment and A Kid Named Beckett Productions.

Dinner’s on Me with Jesse Tyler Ferguson

‘Desperate Housewives’ star Teri Hatcher joins the show. Over crispy trout and ribeye tibs, we talk about her new ‘Desperate Housewives’ rewatch podcast, Desperately Devoted, which she co-hosts with her on-screen and real-life daughters. Teri opens up about revisiting Wisteria Lane with fresh eyes and how her 27-year-old daughter’s modern perspective reshapes her understanding of the series. We also dive into her lifelong love of food — from culinary school to winning ‘Chopped’ and baking in ‘The Great British Bake Off' tent — and how cooking has always been her love language. Teri talks candidly about aging in Hollywood, and about discovering new creative energy through a new hobby: stand-up comedy. This episode was recorded at Aunt Yvette’s Kitchen in Eagle Rock, Los Angeles.

‘Nobody Wants This’ star Jackie Tohn joins the show. Over plant-based Italian sandwiches, Jackie tells me how early rejection helped her develop her trademark resilience (and sense of humor) and she opens up about the wild ride of her career — from competing on ‘American Idol’ to starring in ‘GLOW’ and becoming a series regular on ‘Nobody Wants This’ with BFF Kristen Bell. Please cast her in ‘The Nanny’ remake. This episode was recorded at Maciel’s Plant-Based Butcher in Highland Park in Los Angeles.

Actor Lizzy Caplan joins the show. Over fried catfish and Chinese broccoli salad, we reminisce about our early days as castmates in the sitcom “The Class”—including the infamous table read she slept through—and how that period shaped both of our careers. Lizzy shares stories about growing up in Los Angeles, breaking out in “Mean Girls,” and finding her voice in beloved cult shows like “Party Down.” We also get personal, reflecting on the loss of our parents in recent years, and why she couldn’t imagine raising her child anywhere but Brooklyn. This episode was recorded at Strange Delight in Fort Greene, Brooklyn.

“Elsbeth” star Carrie Preston joins the show. Over a swordfish melt, Carrie reflects on building a career defined by versatility — from her Emmy-winning turn as Elsbeth Tascioni in “The Good Wife" and “The Good Fight” to her starring role in the hit CBS spinoff “Elsbeth.” She gives me the backstory of Elsbeth’s iconic display of handbags, and discuss working with Julia Roberts – twice. Plus, we get into her marriage to fellow actor Michael Emerson (Ben in “Lost”), and what Alan Ball told her “True Blood” is actually about. This episode was recorded at San Sabino in the West Village.

Actor, comedian, and jazz singer Lea DeLaria joins the show. Over enchiladas and rosé, Lea reflects on a life of firsts — from becoming the first openly gay comic on American television with her legendary “Arsenio Hall Show” set, to stealing scenes as Big Boo on Netflix’s “Orange Is the New Black.” We revisit our nearly 30-year friendship, beginning with playing lovers in Shakespeare in the Park’s “On the Town,” and share behind-the-scenes stories from our time in the theater world together. Lea opens up about the pride and pressure of visibility in the ’90s, why OITNB resonated so deeply with butch women who finally saw themselves represented on screen, and how a joke she improvised one night on stage became the now-iconic “U-Haul lesbian” punchline. This episode was recorded at Little Owl in the West Village — also known to TV fans as the building from “Friends."

'Murderbot’ star Noma Dumezweni joins the show. Over pumpkin curry and pad see ew, Noma reflects on the joy of finding success in mid-life and why it’s never too late to dream bigger than you imagined. She opens up about tough days growing up as a refugee in the UK, her unexpected and acclaimed turn (and Tony nominated role) as Hermione Granger in ‘Harry Potter and the Cursed Child,’ and the lessons she’s learned about trusting timing, family, and herself. Noma also talks about becoming a familiar face in prestige TV dramas (‘The Undoing,’ ‘Presumed Innocent’), what it’s like to spar on screen with Alexander Skarsgård in the Apple TV+ sci-fi hit ‘Murderbot,’ and why she loves being in awe of her fellow actors. This episode was recorded at Sukh in Fort Greene, Brooklyn.

‘Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale’ star Elizabeth McGovern joins the show. Over Greek snapper, Elizabeth tells me about her critically acclaimed play ‘Ava: The Secret Conversations,’ which she adapted and stars in. We talk about what inhabiting the Hollywood femme fatale taught her. We also discuss her first series regular gig at age 49 as the iconic Cora Crawley in the hit franchise ‘Downton Abbey’, getting an Oscar nomination at age 20 for ‘Ragtime,’ and how director Robert Redford changed production for her Juilliard studies during ‘Ordinary People.’ The episode was recorded at Estiatorio Milos in Hudson Yards, New York City.

Writer, director, musician and “How I Met Your Mother” star Josh Radnor joins the show. Over oat milk cortados and bavette steak, I ask him about his new rewatch podcast, How We Made Your Mother, inspired by his wife’s first time watching the series. Josh opens up about the highs and lows of life in an ensemble cast and how, with time and distance, he’s become a genuine fan of the hit sitcom. We dive into everything from his ayahuasca journeys between seasons of the show, to awkward fan encounters. This episode was recorded at Evelina in Fort Greene, Brooklyn.

Josh Radnor — on reconciling with HIMYM’s Ted Mosby, marriage, and side effects of fame

Comedian, actor and producer Lilly Singh joins the show. Over bacon and eggs, I ask about her new film ‘DOIN IT,’ a sex comedy seven years in the making that’s as hilarious as it is groundbreaking. Lilly shares the challenges of being seen as “too niche,” why she brought her mom on as a cultural consultant, and how she’s determined to build her own table in Hollywood. We dive into her viral TED Talk on gender equity, the way gratitude is often weaponized against women, and what she carries from her time in late night. This episode was recorded at Lindens at the Arlo Hotel in SoHo, New York City.

The incomparable Kristin Scott Thomas—star of “The English Patient,” “Slow Horses,” and now writer-director-star of the deeply personal film “My Mother’s Wedding” – joins the show. Over mushroomy eggs and quiche, we cover her extraordinary career in both English and French -- from her baptism-by-fire debut opposite Prince in “Under the Cherry Moon” to her viral “Fleabag” monologue. Kristin also tells me about reuniting with Scarlett Johansson as her on-screen daughter for the third time, and why Robert Altman’s “Gosford Park” set was both thrilling and intimidating. This episode was recorded at La Mercerie in SoHo, New York City.
