For decades, Us Weekly’s Stars... They’re Just Like Us has captured the small, human moments that make fame feel familia, a dog walk, a parenting mishap, a coffee fix. But what if we went deeper? In this new evolution, Just Like Us with Dan Wakeford transforms from a cheeky franchise into a window into the human experience, told through the lives of people who just happen to be famous. Each episode is a thoughtful, emotionally grounded conversation between Dan and a celebrity whose story reveals something we can all relate to: resilience, reinvention, joy, loss, love, or learning to live with yourself in public. This is a series about what it means to be human when the world is watching.

    Simon Cowell

    In this episode of Just Like Us with Dan Wakeford, Simon Cowell steps out from behind the judging desk and invites Dan into his real life, black “uniform” T-shirts, bargain crystals, broken back and all. Simon pulls back the curtain on his new behind-the-scenes boy band docuseries, explaining why he still believes in the magic of a group, what he looks for when an artist walks into the room, and how he knows when a band is truly special. He also talks about the pressure of getting it right after decades of hit shows, and why this project felt like a make-or-break moment for him creatively. But this conversation goes far beyond TV. Simon opens up about the grief of losing his parents, the role therapy has played in his life, and how becoming a dad to his son Eric completely rewired his sense of purpose, softening the famously tough judge and changing the way he sees young performers on stage. He talks candidly about recovering from his devastating back injury, the boundaries he’s drawn around stress and work, and why he lives in a self-described “bubble” without a phone or constant news alerts. And in a rapid-fire Just Like Us round, Simon reveals the last time he stood in line for fast food, did his own clean-up, got up with a sick kid, and why Christmas morning in the Cowell household looks a lot like everyone else’s, mince pies, stockings, and all.

    Oliver Hudson

    In this debut episode, Oliver Hudson sits down with Dan Wakeford for an unfiltered conversation about growing up inside one of Hollywood’s most famous families, and the identity crisis that came with it. Oliver reflects on the pressure of having Goldie Hawn, Kurt Russell, and Kate Hudson as his inner circle, the sibling dynamics that fueled both envy and admiration, and the moment he realized he was pursuing acting for reasons that had nothing to do with passion. He also opens up about his lifelong struggle with anxiety, including the panic attack at 24 that changed the course of his life, and how meditation, journaling, and being honest about his mental health helped him rebuild a sense of self. The conversation turns deeply personal as Oliver discusses repairing his relationship with his biological father, raising teens with his wife Erinn, and what it’s like to approach 50 with a new sense of grounding. He also shares the joy and chaos of holiday traditions with the Hawn–Russell clan and the unexpected fulfillment he’s found hosting Gingerbread Land: The Biggest Little Holiday Competition. Equal parts funny, reflective, and vulnerable, Oliver reveals the version of himself fans rarely see — human, complicated, and unmistakably just like Us.
