Alan Tudyk and Jade Catta-Preta
37:31|Actor Alan Tudyk (Arrested Development, Rogue One, Resident Alien) and comedian and actor Jade Catta-Preta (Modern Family, Life in Pieces, The Soup on E!) join Jameela for an episode that somehow ends up exactly where you'd expect, and nowhere you could have predicted.Alan's micro humiliation arrives courtesy of a chance encounter with a Disney executive, a case of mistaken identity, and the particular horror of confidently addressing the wrong powerful man by the wrong name to his face. His Big Wrong Turn takes us to a casual industry football game, where Alan shows up with brand new boots bought the day before, immediately starts playing what can only be described as rug-ball, gets demoted to goalie, concedes three goals, and is the only person in Los Angeles not invited for drinks afterwards.Jade's micro humiliation unfolds live on Watch What Happens, when an attempt to remove a stray hair from Andy Cohen's face reveals that it is very much still attached to him. Her Big Wrong Turn takes us back to a school production that cemented her fate as the default ethnic casting choice for every role going, from Lola in Damn Yankees to Scary Spice, not because she was the best fit, but because she was the only brown person in the building.In place of this week's Misery Loves Company, Jameela shares the story of paying for a friend's IVF to avoid becoming a godmother, only to watch that friend meet her sperm donor the night before the procedure and immediately render the whole thing completely unnecessary.Watch Alan Tudyk in Resident Alien on Sci-Fi and Peacock, and in Superman. He also co-hosts Once We Were Spacemen with Nathan Fillion, available wherever you get your podcasts.

Taran Killam and Jenn Lyon
42:40|Comedian and actor Taran Killam (Saturday Night Live, High Potential, 12 Years a Slave) and actor Jenn Lyon (Claws, The English Teacher, Dead Boy Detectives) join Jameela and immediately reveal themselves to be two of the purest, yet most deeply unhinged people she has ever encountered.Taran opens with a micro humiliation for the ages: the time he forgot every lyric to the same Hamilton song he'd performed hundreds of times, in front of 1,300 high school kids who knew every single word. His Big Wrong Turn, however, takes us back to 2001 and a backstage encounter with Tenacious D and Dave Grohl that begins with hero worship, escalates through increasingly desperate attempts at shock humor, and ends with Jack Black delivering the most devastating possible verdict on his presence in the room.Jenn's micro humiliation is a masterclass in the cruelty of school nicknames, and how she went from "Majestic Lemon", to "Derbis", to "Two Tut" all within her fourth grade year. Her Big Wrong Turn arrives courtesy of the Atkins diet, a metric ton of sugar-free candy, and the particular horror of realizing mid-song, in full period corsetry, that something has gone catastrophically wrong inside your tights.Along the way, Jameela reveals a friend's long-running photo-bombing habit that has somehow survived the #MeToo era, and explains exactly why she could never, ever do a play or a TED Talk.Misery Loves Company comes from Greg, whose college habit of casually exposing a testicle in public went unnoticed until a woman asking for directions clocked it and offered some gentle medical advice.Watch Taran Killam and Jenn Lyon in Stumble, Fridays on NBC and streaming on Peacock.Guy Branum and X Mayo
48:09|Jameela is joined by comedian, writer, actors Guy Branum (Hacks, The Mindy Project, Chelsea Lately) and X Mayo (Loot, The Daily Show).Together they swap stories that probably should have stayed buried forever - the kind of wrong turns that begin with confidence and end in public humiliation.

50:33|Comedians Arden Myrin (The Righteous Gemstones, Shameless, and host of Will You Accept This Rose?) and Blair Socci (Comedy Central, CBS, Bob’s Burgers, and host of Spaced Out with Blair Socci) join Jameela for an episode that immediately reveals itself to be a twin flame friendship.From the very first minute, dignity packs its bags.Blair shares a laundromat incident involving a forgotten vibrator, a Catholic school gray sweatpants catastrophe, and a UTI so severe it required meeting a boyfriend’s entire extended family in the emergency room. Arden counters with a black diamond ski slope humiliation that derailed a teenage crush, plus candy theft, DayQuil disasters, and the kind of adolescent yearning that makes you believe walking past a video store sixty times a day is completely normal.Along the way, the three of them unpack bladder betrayal, edible miscalculations, shame spirals, crush delusions, and the deeply spiritual power of simply owning your humiliation before anyone else can weaponize it.It’s chaos. It’s confession. It’s extremely bonded feminine energy.And it’s what happens when you realize that common sense was chasing you, but you were faster.Bonus: Steve Agee and Erica Rhodes
09:44|Comedian Steve Agee (The Suicide Squad, Peacemaker, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2) and comedian Erica Rhodes (Bring Back the Funny, Modern Family, Last Comic Standing) joined Jameela Jamil for one of those sessions that spiraled gloriously out of control.The conversation ran long because Steve told an extra story that was so catastrophically funny, so unnecessary, and so vividly described that it could not be left on the cutting room floor.What begins as a boisterous teenage party leads to catastrophic consequences, and one of the most graphic cautionary tales ever told on Wrong Turns. Erica nearly loses it, Jameela somehow has a worse story from the last couple of weeks that she'd forgotten to mention until now.It is gross. It is detailed. It is absolutely a warning to hydrate responsibly.Follow Steve Agee for more stories you may or may not be emotionally prepared for, and follow Erica Rhodes for sharp wit that remains impressively intact even under extreme narrative conditions.And as always, follow Wrong Turns (TikTok) for more stories that probably should have stayed inside people’s heads.Erica Rhodes and Steve Agee
43:34|Comedians Erica Rhodes (Veep, Modern Family, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert) and Steve Agee (Guardians of the Galaxy, Peacemaker, Abbott Elementary) join Jameela for an episode that begins with dietary advice and ends… in a urologist’s office.Erica recounts the date that launched a viral moment, involving a wildly inappropriate comparison, some questionable role-play, and a man who may or may not be a pathological liar. She also shares the most humbling twist of fate imaginable after attempting to make someone jealous in New York.Steve delivers a catastrophic Hollywood Boulevard micro-humiliation involving laundry day, no drawstring, and rush-hour traffic, before taking us deep into the saga of kidney stones, shockwave therapy, and a medical procedure that will have you crossing your legs in solidarity.Along the way, Jameela reflects on early career panic, birthday disappointments, dating interrogations outside police stations, and maybe recommends morphine?This is an episode about humiliation, survival, and the strange comfort of knowing that one day, even your worst moment might make a great story.Follow Erica at ericarhodescomedy.com for tour dates.Follow Steve everywhere he appears, which is apparently everywhere.Travon Free and Rob Corddry
41:40|Comedians Travon Free (The Daily Show, Two Distant Strangers - Netflix) and Rob Corddry (The Daily Show, Hot Tub Time Machine) join Jameela for a masterclass in public humiliation, professional disaster, and the kind of moments that will forever wake you up at 3am.Travon shares the teenage moment he thought he had twenty minutes of privacy with his girlfriend, until he very much did not, and then the career nightmare of accidentally emailing one of his scripts to the entire staff at The Daily Show, gifting the funniest people in television unlimited ammunition.Rob relives the night he bombed so catastrophically while hosting a room full of movie stars that he instructed his wife to get the car running. The crowd froze, legends stared him down, and one extremely famous comedy god enjoyed every second of the collapse.Along the way, Jameela reflects on falling spectacularly at her latest premiere, why disaster can feel hilarious mid-air, and the cringiest story of celebrity leftovers.Dignity is not recovered. It rarely is.
