Oh this is fun! This week, S.E. gets to spend an hour with the hilarious and delightful Phil Rosenthal, TV writer, producer and host, best known for the long-running sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond and his Netflix food/travel series, Somebody Feed Phil. S.E. and Phil get into his early acting desires, how 'Raymond' came to be, and how he manages the rejection inherent in the business (not to mention the business's rocky evolution). He shares some of the real-life stories that made his beloved sitcom so relatable and talks about his love of diners (and why he recently opened his own.). Also, Phil and his daughter, Lily, just released their second children's book, Just Try It! Someplace New (available now), a picture book about anxiety and change.
