Maureen Callahan kicks off this episode of The Nerve talking about the “Today Show” lineup, which included an interview with Damian Lewis where he claims that he was instrumental in catapulting Timothée Cham-Lama-Ding-Dong’s acting career into stardom. Maureen also discusses Lewis' attempt to reinvent himself as a musician, and takes a look at his newly released music video that has garnered very little attention. She then turns to the fourth hour of the "Today," calling out Sheinelle Jones' perseveration on one specific topic and her inability to say anything of substance. Maureen also goes all in on "The Motherload" author Sarah Hoover, highlighting the many dark revelations mentioned in her book as well as her marriage to the volatile NYC artist, Tom Sachs. She is later joined by Producer Marlaina to get her firsthand account of Hoover's book talk event at the 92nd St. Y that was moderated by charisma vacuum, Chelsea Clinton.
