Comic Jessica Kirson discuss Bethenny Frankel, Woody Allen’s Girlfriend & Varsity Blues

Comedian Jessica Kirson thought she had seen it all as a touring stand up comic but her story of working for Bethenny Frankel tops it all. She also shares about her new documentary on Hulu “Hysterical” about female comics and our journey in the business over the last few decades. Heather gets in Varsity Blues on Netflix and how the criminals are being exposed all over again. Deadly Illusions is the best worst movie you’ll ever see. Woody Allen’s girlfriend of 7 years shared her story of pursuing him at 16 and having threesomes with Mia Farrow. Plus RHONJ Theresa’s voice is weird, the latest on Sharon Osborne and Sharon Stone’s memoir.

To Heather's staff who reads comments; This episode was so much more laid back in a real, interesting, fun & smarter way. Please, more like this!

Who hurt you?🤔

What does that even mean in relation to my comment?

​@@growingheart8039 you must be one of those old Jewish people Kirson talked about in one of her stand-up comedy clips lmao

[@isabelateixeira3713]

Jessica Kirson is one of my favorite comedians, when I saw the notification I nearly screamed

[@amyf5069]

I love her podcast, too. She’s so wild on stage but also a sweetheart who loves her comic friends. You can tell from her interviews.

[@DCo923]

Funny story about Bethany. Way back I used to watch Imus in the morning. She was promoting a book and was late to be on his show. He went Off! He didn't let her on, said that she showed up with 15 people in her posey, he went on she's some housewife and not even, who did she think she was blah blah, and he did it for the next 2 hours. HILARIOUS!

[@18Callahan]

She’s another unrefined human with money. Meh.

[@sylviawoods6650]

Jessica is crazy talented and I enjoyed this interview.

[@bekkylove742]

u ve got that right 😊

[@mindy561]

Also-- re Bethenney...I always thought it was so tacky that when her talk show was canceled she didnt accept it gracefully but rather blamed it on a bunch of things...production/concept etc which made me wonder if Ellen was like ugh what did I get myself into with this partnership. It would have been much cooler if she had just said we tried hard and you cant succeed at everything. Also I just heard her on a clubhouse talk...she was so obnoxious and sucked the air right out of the conversation. She needs to pipe down sometimes.

[@DCo923]

Her talk show was awful. She is good i snipits, but a whole hour jumping around? Its like watching someone on a trampoline.

[@Alexandra90210]

I actually went to the taping of the very first talk show she filmed. It was SO boring and it took so long we had to leave before they got through a whole segment. She is not really daytime material. I think she's really smart and funny but she's too hard on people in her comments to be a flavor everyone likes.

[@HH-gv8mx]

When I was a young girl, these were the type of women my mom hung around with and that I babysat for. To me, they represented a successful, confident independent women. It’s very much an East Coast thing and not for people with thin skin. I wish I had more girlfriends like this. It’s better than being meek and fake and weak.

[@bekkylove742]

Kirson, i cannot get enough of you! I've just discovered YOU! all the years... I'm so lucky to have the opportunity to explore your whole comedic career.

[@mirandam5746]

Bethany is just toxic. She might’ve had a bad childhood but doesn’t mean she can be cruel to everyone around her.

[@matzohgirl]

Wow what tea!

[@G_mpDWLe111]

I agree 100%: Heather needs a talk show!!

[@JessicaNicoleFaust]

This was such a great conversation!! Love her!! And good for her for walking off of Bethenny’s show!

[@JessicaNicoleFaust]

I was a fan of Bethany until that Meghan tweet. That was BS. She’s jealous just like she was of Carole & now I see that

[@robinmorelli8759]

Don’t you know that women are the meanest to other women??? Even in grade school - girls were mean so I stuck with the boys.

[@amandaletendre601]

I can never get enough of Jessica! She tells it like it is.

[@colleendaumen136]

Bethenny has had an ego issue for YEARS. I met her while she was still on Housewives and she was so rude to me and my group of friends at a restaurant... we were such HUGE FANS too, so that sucked.

Lol it’s obviously just you. She’s NEVER had a reputation of being rude anywhere else. Ever. How dare you say how big of a fan you are!

[@Nicole-Beezu]

I never heard of Jessica Kirson but I really liked her interview AND her tweet to Bethenny was friggin hilarious. Honestly I find female comedians like Kathy Griffin, Sarah Silverman and Heather much funnier than men. But like Heather said, it’s who you relate to.

[@danielnascimento6300]

This is unexpectedly soooooo JUICY! Not surprising about Bethany......... so fake. Jessica is way funny and great covo.

[@HH-gv8mx]

Bethany has the personality of a strong, independent, successful career woman who came up in NYC. She’s a bulldozer. She doesn’t let anything get in her way. Her personality is not for the thin skinned not everybody gets it.

[@amyf5069]

The comic who did that brave set in front of Harvey Weinstein is KELLY BACHMAN. It was filmed by Amber Rollo, her friend/also a stand-up, so pls google it to find the clip & watch. Harvey & his ppl were horrible/heckling her/trying to get the comics thrown out, etc..., but she was powerful, unfazed & GENIUS. Woot!

[@joannarnold50]

Hi Heather, how did I miss the discussion on Sharon, Mia, Woody, Theresa portion. I listened twice...🤷🏻‍♀️

[@micheledowney3884]

Was just going to ask if it got cut :) Such a great interview though - thanks Heather xx

[@Partypooperfanmade]

the episode is longer on stitcher or wherever you listen to podcasts.she must not have uploaded the beginning of the show

[@michellefg792]

The beginning of the show was just audio bc she was in a hotel room. I listened on the podcast app.

[@joannarnold50]

Ok found it ~ thank you so much!👍🏻😁

[@CJ-xq3ie]

What did she tweet Bethenny? She never finish that story

[@kronut7806]

She basically tweeted “cry my a river”, “this is what you get when you are famous. Don’t cry about it” and didn’t know that Megan was suicidal, was talking about systematic racism etc. It was really tacky. She watched the interview and then tried to take it all back.

[@kepik4714]

I think I missed it - did they ever say what Bethenney said and what Jessica's response was? haha.. Heather just couldn't stop talking long enough to let Jessica tell that story. But this was one of my favorite juicy scoops ever, she is a great guest. [Brandy & Julie are my all time faves tho]

Until she turns on you

[@HH-gv8mx]

I’m just curious, does Bethany have any real good girlfriends? I haven’t really paid much attention to her since she was on RHONY. She’s so beautiful and successful and has a quick tongue. It would take an equally confident, successful THICK SKINNED woman to be friends with her. @@courtneybrubaker9738

[@karinalombrozo3257]

heather’s character from Facts of Life on Chelsea lately omg !!! potential cancelling

[@evag7862]

The story with Bethenny happened such a long time ago. She was just starting out and her abrasivness is literally a part of her personality and appeal to some. With all she does for people in crisis, I'm pretty sure she has grown and changed in the past 7 years since the tall show.

[@Cmon_Nah123]

All she does for people in crisis always seems to involve cameras. Those who truly want to help others don’t use the crisis for their own fame. It doesn’t cancel out her bad behavior towards others either.

[@HH-gv8mx]

@@Cmon_Nah123 there were cameras following all of the fuel in the planes and the food that she donated to Puerto Rico? And the South Carolina? And the Haiti? And all the other millions of people that she’s helped that were victims of some environmental disaster? I didn’t see any of that.

[@davidwoodbury2320]

Very few pseudo celebrities I feel this way towards ??? Miss B who is engaged 😖 Which I'm sure will end in divorce. Just saying ! I like her during the early years, Respected the hustle. Not so much now. She could have resolved her divorce 8 years ago If she wanted to. Obviously ego got in the way. She's not a very sympathetic nor likable person I think she's incredibly unkind fundamentally she is not a lady. Some people are slow to learn perspective and she needs a monumental dosage of graciousness and humility.

[@nicolelooton6134]
