Episode Description
Amy Yazbeck brings the laughs and the real talk in this warm, hilarious, and unexpectedly moving conversation with Steve Kmetko. From growing up as the “puppy” of a big family to finding her lane as a naturally gifted comedic actor, Amy breaks down how she built a career by staying fearless, staying curious, and not taking herself too seriously.
We dig into her time on Wings and what made that ensemble click, plus the backstage joy of working with pros like Tony Shalhoub, Tim Daly, Rebecca Schull, and of course her on-screen partner in crime, Steve Weber. Amy shares a phenomenal story about Debbie Reynolds guest starring as her TV mom and why that moment still feels like a dream. There is also plenty of rapid fire chaos, including boom mic shenanigans, Wizard of Oz impressions, and the kind of set humor that makes you grateful you were not sitting next to craft service.
Then the conversation turns personal and powerful. Amy opens up about love, loss, and the kind of grief that does not “wrap up neatly,” as well as how she turned heartbreak into purpose through the John Ritter Foundation and her advocacy work. It is funny, heartfelt, and full of those little Hollywood truths you only get when someone is willing to be honest.
If you loved Wings, Robin Hood: Men in Tights, Problem Child, Dracula: Dead and Loving It, or you just want an interview that is equal parts comedy and humanity, this one is for you.
