Real, genuine talks with famous people. Your favorite actors and celebrities feel like close friends as they laugh, reflect and connect with therapist Kara Mayer Robinson. It's like catching up with best friends or eavesdropping on a therapy session. Sure, they're famous. But with Kara, they're real.

    Tim Daly is back!

    Tim Daly is back!

    When Tim Daly and I sit down at his kitchen table for our 6th Really Famous talk, we get philosophical - and Tim says some things he probably shouldn't (his words, not mine!). Of course we talk Madam Secretary, Wings, how handsome Tim is, his status with co-star and life partner Téa Leoni, etc. But we also get into deep (and shallow) thoughts, about aging, fear, death, intimacy and more.
    You'll feel like you're right there with us, sitting at the table with Tim's dog, Goose, coming and going, weaving from topic to topic and analyzing our individual takes on life.
    Enjoy.

    Alan Cumming

    Alan Cumming

    Alan Cumming has an FAQ page on his website. That's because he's been interviewed so many times and he's done with the same old questions. That's actually perfect for me because I can't stand same old questions.
    But!
    He has done so many things (mastered theater, won a Tony, starred in hit TV series like The Good Wife -- he played Eli Gold -- and Instinct, starred in everything from Doctor Who to Sex and the City and Spy Kids, co-hosted the Tonys, made albums, received 40+ awards for his humanitarianism, got 3 honorary degrees, holy moly, the list goes on!) that I felt overwhelmed. Where was I going to go with this interview?
    Then it hit me.
    Proverbs.
    Listen now and you'll know exactly what I mean.

    Eric Braeden

    Eric Braeden

    The Young and the Restless icon Eric Braeden, aka Victor Newman, returns to Really Famous as we sit down at CBS Studios in Los Angeles, on the set of the daytime drama, to talk about the wildest and scariest times in Eric's life, his recent bout with bladder cancer, trauma and drama, making it in Hollywood, his penchant for fast cars and the shocking things he's done when he was pulled over by the police, his granddaughters, his veracity, and oh so much more. Plus, he compares me to Larry King. So that's fun too.

    Reid Scott - Mental Health Special

    Reid Scott - Mental Health Special

    If you have mental illness in your family or know someone with narcissistic or borderline personality disorder, this one's for you. Actor Reid Scott (Veep, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Why Women Kill) and I dive into personal stories and I share insight as a mental health expert in a special #mentalhealth episode of Really Famous, where Reid interviews me and also opens up about his family and their mental health struggles.
    It's the second time Reid is on Really Famous and this time, he's asking the questions. And revealing personal stories. And getting feedback from Kara.
