It's me, your friend Busy Philipps! My creative partner Caissie St. Onge & I love making things that we believe people need & will love & we’ve had so many plans. We had plans to do a TV show that would shake up late night! And we think it kinda did! For six months. We adored our genius, scrappy creative team at “Busy Tonight” as much as we loved our audience, so when we broke the news that we’d been canceled, we vowed to get back up & make even bigger plans to invent a whole new way of doing things in the entertainment biz, to reunite our beautiful staff & change the game for everyone! An entertainment Utopia! And we were so close, then...the world changed. Now those plans are, at the very least, on hold. So, we've shifted gears, like everyone has had to, & with our friends, we're just doing our best, taking it slow & talking to fascinating friends about how *they* are doing *their* best. They’ll tell us all about those times in their lives when a setback actually led to the right thing. Maybe it was a job that didn't pan out, but opened the door to an even more perfect one, or maybe it's how they studied for years to do the thing they thought was their calling, only to fall into something else that felt like kismet. The thing is, we want to share those moments because right now EVERYBODY is having one of those moments. Maybe we'll all learn something life-changing or maybe we'll just have a conversation where we break down in tears, then laugh at ourselves for crying. Whatever happens, we can assure you, Busy Philipps is Doing Her Best!

Customer Reviews
I adore these two
I have been a fan of this pod since it started. It is my favorite time of the week when I put on an episode and hang out with these two amazing women. I really loved the advice episode! Keep that idea in the rotation. I hope that you are both working on other projects!!!
It’s just so…
I loved this pod at first.
Shantira - we miss you! Caisie- you’re a gem. Busy - I can only assume you don’t read reviews or…you’re just so self absorbed that you don’t care.
The BEST
I have loved Busy since Dawson’s Creek and always followed her work. I was devastated when Bush Tonight was canceled. But honestly, if canceling it have me this pod, I’m ok with it! I have never been one turned off by the 3 hours episodes. It gives me days of content to listen to in the AM getting ready for work. Which is great because Busy and Cassie really feel like my IRL friends. I can’t recommend this podcast enough. From the cry sessions, Hollywood breaks, “you guys lean in close” moments. I love it all!!
