This week, S.E. chats with friend, author, journalist, political analyst (honestly, so many things) Molly Jong-Fast. S.E. and Molly talk about the last days of magazines, making friends in cable news, and how not to be the person other people complain to their therapist about. The pair also dive into Molly’s literary family, her grandfather the communist, her mother’s complicated ambitions, and some very stubborn family grudges. And then of course, the conversation wraps with a lightning round covering everything from the worst fashion trends today to Molly’s pick for the best novel of the 21st century.

S.E. Cupp needs a break -- from the news, from politics, from the triggering headlines and heated discussions … from the mental load of it all. Off the Cupp is just that. It’s a place to get loose and personal, to talk about what’s going on in our lives - beyond (and, yes, maybe because of) the news. Through a lens of mental health, S.E. invites her famous guests — celebrities, athletes, authors, journalists, politicians, reality stars — to share their life stories, their trials and tribulations and to talk about what it’s like living in this world, even when this world can feel like a lot.

This week, S.E. brings in comedian Brad Garrett! Brad talks about growing up with very encouraging parents who also struggled deeply in their own ways. He shares some fantastic stories about opening for Sinatra, being the youngest comic to appear on Johnny Carson and why Ray Romano didn't want him to play his cop brother, Robert, on the hit sitcom, Everyone Loves Raymond. And S.E. divulges the super random connection they have to a little art gallery in Boston. And find out if Brad Garrett can choose between Albert Brooks or Billy Crystal in a comedy-themed lightning round. 

You can also see Brad perform at his own comedy club (Brad Garrett's Comedy Club) at the MGM in Las Vegas. Or check him out in the new Pixar movie, Elio, coming out summer 2025.

If you know S.E. at all you'll know that Bravo is her happy place. And she's not alone. The Bravo network of Housewives and reality TV shows is a joy destination for its diverse community of fans who look to it as an escape from whatever ails them. S.E. sits down with Bravo King Andy Cohen to talk about what it's like to be at the center of that joy and how he got there in the first place. They also talk about parenting, his own parenting models and what little Andy was like growing up. And don't worry, there's plenty of Bravo goss throughout!

It’s a two-fer on Off the Cupp! S.E. sits down with two friends — who happen to be politicians — Rep. Eric Swalwell and former congressman Adam Kinzinger. S.E. and Rep. Swalwell talk about his childhood, growing up the son of a cop and the oldest of four active boys and how the pressures of sibling rivalry sent him on a different path. Adam Kinzinger and S.E. talk about the trills and fears of flying airplanes, how he manages an intense fissure in his family, and in a fitting lightning round, Kinzinger is forced to choose between two beloved action aviator movies (can you guess which?).
