How Was Your Week: Episode 37
“The Juiciest Chicken You’ve Ever Had”
On this week’s episode of How Was Your Week?, gorgeous Real Housewife of New York City, the straw that stirs the drink herself, SONJA TREMONT MORGAN talks to Julie about her time in Europe, her Toaster Oven secrets, SNAPPED on Oxygen, and the secret of hosting a great party.
Then, Julie talks to Richard Lawson (Gawker, The Atlantic Wire) in depth about THE FIRST WIVES CLUB. It’s an important cinematic conversation that includes coverage of the following hot topics:
What a modern-day Upper East Side Crisis Center would be like
Which Real Housewives would be cast in the main roles of the movie, if Bravo were to do a brilliant remake
Whether or not Goldie Hawn was wearing a wig during what we agree was the performance of her lifetime
What exactly the plot of the second part of the movie is, and whether or not it is important (it isn’t)
Plus! Puppeteers being weirdos! Book burning versus circle drumming! Men for all Seasons! Kim Richards’s connection to Jessica Lange! Darrell Hammond’s book! Anthony Bourdain’s pool nudity! Sonja’s Streisand appreciation! And a tender memory of Andy Rooney eating Thanksgiving dinner.
A show that has a taste for luxury, and luxury has a taste for it!

How Was Your Week: Episode 33
“Pondering Tonya”
On this week’s episode of How Was Your Week?, the fabulous MARTHA PLIMPTON chats with Julie over goblet mimosas about theater, the “Miss America moment” at the Emmys that she and Amy Poehler pulled off, and the ageless charm of Lee Majors.
Then, Julie grapples with the too-soon rising star that was Tonya Harding, ponders the end credits sequence from European Vacation, remembers this one counselor from camp who went on Nutrisystem, complains about Zombies, and gets angry that we’re not still talking about the Herman Cain Pizza Song.
Plus! Julie recaps last night’s first-ever HOW WAS YOUR WEEK LIVE, which went well! Martha talks about this one idiot who interrupted her performance of Hedda Gabler! And we memorialize Gaddafi briefly, only to quickly to move on to the way more important matter of whether or not Cat Stevens ever had “The Yusef Talk” with his children.
A dazzling and fascinating show!

How Was Your Week: Episode 32
“Tiny Faces”
On this week’s episode of How Was Your Week?, total f’ing rock star AMY POEHLER joins Julie from her trailer on the set of Parks & Recreation to discuss how not to pose on the red carpet, the pressure of getting universally good press, and the gospel of birth order.
Then, the hilarious RICH FULCHER tells Julie about the DVD of his sketch show, Snuff Box, which is now available for sale in the US of A! Also discussed: his Mama Cass impression, how he lied to his parents about being a lawyer for a long time, and how a Chicago improv comedian became a shining star in the UK.
Plus! Julie grapples with the new Rosie O’Donnell TV show and reconciles her feelings around the all-black Steel Magnolias remake! Amy reveals her favorite TV show of all time, and talks about whether it’s still important to her to be cool, now that she’s 40 (hint: it’s not as important as it was before)! A plea for more cat photos! And an extended, perhaps unecessarily long riff about leg-waxing.
An epic and fabulous show!
