This week, S.E. challenges her cardinal rule here on Off the Cupp (no politics!) with a most delightful and very much politically engaged guest, Bradley Whitford. It's not just Bradley's tenure as White House Chief of Staff Josh Lyman in Aaron Sorkin's beloved drama the West Wing that makes him particularly political. Bradley is also putting himself in the mix every chance he gets — advocating for political candidates, policies, and social justice issues. He just can't help himself. S.E. and Bradley talk about his childhood as youngest kid, "the mistake's friend," finding his people through theater, and some incredible near misses in his illustrious career. They also talk about the sometimes debilitating power of confidence, monitoring their media intake, stimulation overload. It's also a very presidential lightning round!

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.
