Jameela Jamil

For anyone who feels like their life is one disaster after another: good news–you’re not alone. Jameela Jamil (The Good Place, She-Hulk) gathers her funny friends and they share their most mortifying and embarrassing stories. Crucially, there are no morals and no silver linings.

I Weigh with Jameela Jamil

Comedians Shapel Lacey (Three Dads Two Moms special, current tour dates) and Aaron Branch (Unstable on Netflix, The Kevin Langue Show, The Forehead Tour) for an unforgettable episode full of wiener stories.

Shapel bravely recounts the worst gig of his life, the cheer-camp sex he may never recover from, and the moment a stranger declared that his penis is the joke. Aaron, meanwhile, brings story after story that make him look sweet, hot, successful, and this week's valedicktorian.

Accidental grandpa kisses, cheerleading-camp injuries and school-wide scandals that probably belonged in a teen drama, Jameela tries her best to keep the show on the rails until Aaron challenges her to share a story of her own.

Jameela's Substack is A Low Desire To Please, you can also find her on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube.

Comedy troublemakers Dan Schreiber (No Such Thing As A Fish, The Museum of Curiosity, author of The Theory of Everything Else) and Andrew Hunter Murray (No Such Thing As A Fish, The Naked Week, writer for Private Eye, author of A Beginner’s Guide to Breaking and Entering) join Jameela for an hour of friendship chaos, gig disasters, and stories that make you grateful for every bad choice you didn’t make.

Dan kicks things off with childhood misunderstandings, a karaoke nightmare involving his kid and the unedited lyrics of Grease Lightning, and one of the most catastrophic date-night micro humiliations we’ve ever heard. Andrew brings the bouncer years, the book festival where Jude Law mistook him for staff, and a zoo gig so bad the audience preferred to stare at fish.

Plus, a Misery Loves Company story about a disastrous hook-up with a neighbor.

If you like friendship that borders on warfare, ancient fish upstaging comedians, or men questioning their entire identity in front of Jude Law, this one is for you.

Comedy powerhouses, Aparna Nancherla (BoJack Horseman, Corporate, Mythic Quest) and Eliza Skinner (The Late Late Show with James Corden, Drop the Mic, and Earth to Ned), join Jameela for a perfect storm of humiliation, soft chaos, and stories that instantly make you feel better about your own life choices.

Aparna kicks things off with a micro humiliation involving an aggressively friendly date, a forced smile, and the kind of social panic only she could navigate with total deadpan grace. Later, she unpacks a Big Wrong Turn that somehow manages to include a disappearing audience, a disappearing sense of self, and a disappearing will to continue. We’ve all been there.

Eliza brings her own signature spiral, including the world’s worst party choice, a Disney meltdown, and one of the most impressively committed social misreads we’ve heard on this show. Together, she and Aparna form a tag-team of comedic self-exposure that warms the soul and singes the eyebrows.

Plus, Jameela reads a Misery Loves Company submission that proves sometimes the only way out is to laugh harder than you want to cry.

Come for the comedy, stay for the solidarity. If you’ve ever said “I'm really honest, I just like to tell it how it is,” then listen to hear why we're swiping left on you.

Aparna Nancherla has her very first hour-long standup comedy special, HOPEFUL POTATO, premiering December 15th on streaming service Dropout as part of its “Dropout Presents” series. It's directed by Eliza Skinner.

Actor and writer Mary Elizabeth Ellis (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Licorice Pizza, New Girl) and actor, writer, filmmaker, and "everyone's sexual awakening", Lake Bell (Bless This Mess, In a World, Harley Quinn) join Jameela for a gloriously unfiltered session of tiny humiliations and lifelong cringes.

Mary Elizabeth shares the on set moment a costumer quietly asked if she'd braided her pubic hair, plus the C section experience where she tried to keep everyone comfortable by joking about the smell of her own burning flesh. Lake relives the day she introduced herself to Brad Pitt in a way that could not have landed worse, along with the colonoscopy story that still makes her sweat with embarrassment.

Together they unravel convertible rage spirals, postpartum clothing fails, and the universal effort to look put together while feeling anything but.

Catch Mary Elizabeth Ellis in the Netflix series Man on the Inside and Lake Bell in The Chair Company on HBO Max.

Jameela welcomes actor Penn Badgley, with his Podcrushed co-hosts Nava Kavelin and Sophie Ansari (podcast: Podcrushed, new book: Crushmore: Essays on Love, Loss and Coming of Age) for a truly chaotic and hilarious hour of wrong turns. From Sophie’s doomed West Village romance and Jameela’s on-set “fart coffin,” to Nava’s accidental Ambien-induced text to Ariana Grande’s manager and Penn’s near-collision at the Met Gala, this one spirals delightfully out of control.

Confessions, catastrophes, and exactly the kind of laughter-therapy Wrong Turns was made for.

Comedians Ian Fidance (Bein’ Ian with Jordan podcast, Wild, Happy and Free special) and Nathan Macintosh (Tonight Show, Down with Tech special) bring two of the most chaotic Wrong Turns we’ve ever had: a near–loss of virginity on 9/11, a $600 phone sex bill, getting banned from a friend’s house for porn searches, coke-fueled job interviews, and the childhood moment that ended in a full-blown piss emergency in class.

Jameela tries to referee as Ian defends the Spice Channel “squiggle” era and Nathan relives the four-second first time, the broken bed frame, and the dog watching from the corner. There’s also soaking, psychics, frozen Haagen-Dazs theft, and a surprisingly heartfelt debate on whether shame makes you funnier or just stranger.

Comedian and author Danny Wallace (Yes Man, Join Me) and writer-comedian Sofie Hagen (Will I Ever Have Sex Again?) join Jameela Jamil for a conversation about the chaos, coincidences, and canine catastrophes that make life unforgettable.

From dogs with terrible timing to the unexpected moments that change everything, they share stories of embarrassment, empathy, and the strange comfort of realizing everyone’s a little bit ridiculous sometimes.

Jameela Jamil is joined by comedy icon Margaret Cho (New album Lucky Gift, All That We Love movie in theaters November) and social worker turned standup comedian, actor, and writer Brandi Denise (Vulture Top Comics 2024, LOL! Live with Brandi Denise, Hulu) for an uncomfortably funny chat about their biggest personal disasters. 

This isn’t a pep talk, it’s a pile-on. From terrible diets and onstage mishaps to the mortifying moments you can never unsee, the three trade stories that remind us no one’s got it together (least of all them).

Together, they and Jameela trade stories about growth, boundaries, and choosing laughter over shame.

Jameela finds out what it's like to be on the business end of the comedy duo that is Jason and Randy Sklar (Sklar Brothers, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Better Call Saul, Dumb People Town podcast). Together they discover the extent to which a hot air balloon ride can go wrong, what dirty joke your uptight neighbor would rather not hear, and why Jameela will never be allowed to have another dinner in the dark.

Comedians Erin Jackson (Late Night with Seth Meyers, Grudgery special) and Josh Gondelman (Desus & Mero, Positive Reinforcement special) join Jameela Jamil to swap their most undignified disasters.

Erin relives the day she was booed off stage at the National Mall - on two jumbotrons, in front of her parents, and the time she literally fell off the stage at her home club’s grand reopening. Josh recalls a Thanksgiving so disastrous it ended with puking in the tub before meeting his in-laws, and a college romance derailed by an overly enthusiastic Bon Jovi-themed care package.

Jameela shares her own humiliations - including breaking her nose on live TV - as the trio find catharsis in failure, fart jokes, and the fine art of refusing to let go of a grudge.

Canadian activist, podcaster and writer Clementine Morrigan joins Jameela this week and they dive right into the human impact of cancel culture, why it erodes trust and why it's bad for us to dehumanize ourselves. Clementine & Jameela cover ethical vulnerabilities, celebrities, and ask: are you outsourcing your integrity? This is a raw conversation that invites you to set boundaries and command your own world view but also this is an open discussion that covers topics such as domestic violence, abuse and touches on suicide.
