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. They are simply here to revel in each others’ misfortune. Wrong Turns: where dignity goes to die.

Please share your own Wrong Turns with us for possible inclusion in the show, just email a voice memo to PersonalDisasterStories@gmail.com. Wrong Turns takes over from iWeigh and Bad Dates as Jameela’s home in podcasting. You can still find the entire archive of I Weigh right here.

Wrong Turns was created and produced by Jameela Jamil and Stewart Bailey, our consulting producer is Colin Anderson.

 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I Weigh with Jameela Jamil

Actress, author, producer, and model Garcelle Beauvais (Coming to America, Spider-Man: Homecoming, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills) and comedian, writer, and actor Ron Funches (Curb Your Enthusiasm, Black-ish, Season 4 of The Traitors) join Jameela to discuss the many ways a recycling bin, a mushroom gummy, and a fashion show introduction can lead to public humiliations.

Garcelle once cost herself a major modeling contract by asking a question you should never, ever ask a woman. Ron arrives with a curated menu of humiliations - one fight story, two poop stories, one involving a famous person - and Jameela insists on all of them. Ron's Big Wrong Turn involves Eric Andre's birthday, a first-time mushroom experience, and one bathroom for the entire house party.

Jameela shares her own psychedelic disasters, including a Bjork concert that nearly killed her, and a hotel encounter with one of the Franco brothers that looked considerably worse from the outside. Plus: Ron accidentally drugs his mom, and she emerges a completely different woman.

In Misery Loves Company, listener Violet describes the day she shared lemonparty.org (don't look it up) on a company-wide call and somehow kept her job.

Ron is touring the UK, Netherlands, New York, and Boston, catch him at ronfunches.com. Garcelle's audiobook Protecting My Peace at All Costs is on Audible now.

Comedian and actor Rachel Feinstein (Inside Amy Schumer, Crashing, Trainwreck, Big Guy on Netflix) and comedian, actor, and writer Ben Gleib (Chelsea Lately, Ice Age: Continental Drift, Good Night with Ben Gleib on YouTube) join Jameela to share their most catastrophic life moments, and things go off the rails almost immediately.

Ben reveals what happens when Chelsea Handler gets bored on a private jet and peer-pressures you into propositioning the flight crew, while Rachel recounts the Christmas she tried to impress her future in-laws and ended up with a mouthful of candle wax. Both agree: the key to surviving humiliation is to just keep going.

Later, Ben's attempt to save $37 on an Uber spirals into a full parking lot brawl involving a surprise Coffee Mate attack, and Rachel takes us to the saddest hotel in New York City, where every channel is porn, and her date packed matching Giants pajamas.

Along the way, Jameela shares the time a therapist dumped her after one session, and the gang discovers they are all furiously, passionately angry about geography. 

Watch Ben's (and producer Stewart's) new show Good Night with Ben Gleib on YouTube, and stream Rachel Feinstein's special Big Guy on Netflix.

Comedian Rory Scovel (Physical, Babylon, Rooster) and actor, comedian, and impressionist James Adomian (Netflix, Comedy Bang Bang, Rick and Morty) join Jameela for an episode that goes completely off the rails, including an Alex Jones/Seth Rogen mashup that Jameela calls one of her favorite moments in the history of the podcast.

James's Big Wrong Turn is one of the greatest heckle stories ever told on this podcast: opening for Joan Rivers at a 3,000-seat casino in South Florida, facing a mutiny of elderly audience members, and discovering a side of Joan you've probably never heard. Rory's involves a pool party at age 12, an unfortunate bodily betrayal, and a decades-long cover-up that a childhood friend recently confirmed was not as secret as he thought.

In Misery Loves Company, listener Armando shares a college dorm sleepwalking incident that unlocks a fear none of us knew we had.

Laura Peek (Comedy Central, The Tonight Show, After Midnight) and Audrey Stewart (Just for Laughs New Face, Netflix Is a Joke Festival, Don't Tell Comedy) join Jameela for an episode that goes places no one anticipated.

Laura's eighth-grade country club pool day goes catastrophically wrong thanks to one forgotten detail and a high dive. Audrey finally hooks up with her dream college crush only for him to ruin it all with two devastating words the next morning. Then the Big Wrong Turns get even wilder - Audrey's best day of second grade takes a turn that has to be heard to be believed, and Laura's post-vocal-cord-surgery sorority era involves a whistle, a dry erase board, and a frat party bunk bed disaster.

Jameela confesses to mistakenly calling Oaxaca "Waxico," the group debates whether the purple pool pee dye was ever real, and a Misery Loves Company listener learns that Nair and romance do not mix.

Comedian and actor Gianmarco Soresi (Thief of Joy comedy special, Netflix, The Downside podcast) and comedian Raanan Hershberg (The Tonight Show, Comedy Central, Your Favorite Movie Sucks podcast) join Jameela for an episode that encompasses the Middle East peace process, the American healthcare system, and fraternity hazing rituals involving marshmallows.

Gianmarco's micro humiliation takes us back to college, where four years of anxiety about cracking during a song culminated in exactly that, on the final note of an eight-minute Rodgers and Hammerstein soliloquy, in front of everyone, with absolutely no way to play it off. His Big Wrong Turn begins with a gig booked through his uncle in real estate: a private roast of a 50-year-old stranger at his second bachelor party in a New Jersey steakhouse. He shows up in a suit. They're in shorts. They're sitting in a circle. And it only gets worse from there.

Raanan's Big Wrong Turn is less wrong turn, more system failure. His girlfriend has an eye stroke, and what follows is an ambulance with no siren, insurance paperwork filled out in the back of said ambulance, a doctor appearing via video call from her kitchen, and a transfer to a second hospital in a storm immediately after taking blood thinners. America!

In this week's Misery Loves Company, a listener named Edward recounts a fraternity initiation involving a marshmallow relay race that is exactly as bad as it sounds, and makes the only sane decision anyone in this episode manages.

Follow Raanan at @RaananComedy and watch his podcast Your Favorite Movie Sucks on YouTube. Follow Gianmarco at @GianmarcoSoresi and catch him on tour across the US, UK, and Europe, his special Thief of Joy is out now on YouTube.

Comedian and TikTok creator Caroline Baniewicz (Homeschooled Freak musical, No Thanks, We're Good podcast) and comedian and actor Lea'h Sampson (LOL! Live Hulu, YouTube, The Tamron Hall Show) join Jameela to swap stories of strict Texas upbringings, spiritual awakenings at Chick-fil-A, and the kind of bodily betrayals that only happen when you're trying to impress the cool girls. Caroline explains what it's like to be your own school bully, and Lea'h reveals why you should always secure your wig before a date goes further than planned.

Comedians, writers, and co-hosts of the legendary podcast Guys We F****d, Krystyna Hutchinson and Corinne Fisher join Jameela this week for an episode that gets intimate, unhinged, and deeply relatable in equal measure.

Corinne shares what happened when she tried to set the mood on a COVID-era Zoom date with Post-it note talking points, deli container margaritas, and a candle that set her hair on fire. Krystyna's Big Wrong Turn takes us inside Hurricane Sandy, a flooding apartment, a boyfriend who promised to throw out his ex-porn-star's Fleshlight collection, and the moment she discovered he had not. 

Jameela, meanwhile, reveals that her inner self on psychedelics turned out to be a very boring white lady who shops at Erewhon, and recounts the full catastrophic chain of events leading up to her Good Place audition, including curling her hair with her roommate's dildo and spending ten minutes alone in a casting director's bathroom using her teeth as a wrench.

This week's Misery Loves Company comes from listener Josie, who declared her love at a prom after party, spent ten minutes arguing with the guy that he did love her actually, and ran into him the next morning looking like Beetlejuice.

You can find Krystyna and Corinne's podcast Guys We F**ked wherever you get your podcasts. Follow Krystyna at @krystynahutch, Corinne Fisher is @philanthropygal, find her political podcast Without a Country on YouTube.

Comedian, writer, and producer Ian Lara (Tonight Show veteran, HBO special Romantic Comedy, new free special Material Boy on YouTube) and writer, producer, and director Michael Blieden (The Daily Show, Broad City, forthcoming Mitch Hedberg documentary) join Jameela with stories that will make you feel significantly better about your own life choices.

Ian once decided the best path to fame was an original rap performed acapella in coordinated outfits in front of his entire elementary school. Michael once accidentally played a podcast that opened with "Are white people special?" to his Black driver and just... kept it on. Jameela once performed a full Sally Bowles striptease routine from Cabaret at her all-girls school aged 12, and was bribed by her headmistress not to do it again.

Also: an exploding chili dog audition, Larry David, and a listener who learned that "Fiona" sounds like Italian slang for something you really don't want your name to mean.

You can follow Ian at @ianlara on Instagram and TikTok and watch his specials on YouTube and HBO. Keep an eye out for Michael's Mitch Hedberg documentary, coming soon.

Comedian and actor Kat Bird (Tigerbelly, Sideboob podcast, Netflix Is a Joke Festival May 8th) and comedian and actor Ava Bunn (Scrubs on Hulu, JFL’s 2025 New Faces, Late Bloomers at Netflix Is a Joke Festival May 8th) join Jameela this week with stories that will make you feel significantly better about your own love life.

Kat shares what happened when she re-entered the dating world after seven years, including one encounter set to some extremely ill-chosen background music, and another involving a life-sized pillow of Michael B. Jordan and thirty-five minutes of shimmying politely in the background. Ava, meanwhile, shares what happens when you answer a phone call mid-hookup convinced it's a casting director, and what happens when the entire contents of a large coffee decide to make their exit during a Zoom audition with Mindy Kaling.

This week's Misery Loves Company comes from listener Jess, whose very enthusiastic sex life managed to send a firefighter back into a second round of ACL surgery, and inspires the team to ask: "Should we have signature moves?"

You can follow Kat on Instagram at @katbirdcomedy and find her tour dates at katbirdcomedy.com. Catch Ava in her monthly show Late Bloomers in LA and New York, find her online at @avamariebun, and watch her every Wednesday on Scrubs on ABC and Hulu.

Writer, comedian, and actor Olivia Lee (Balls of Steel, T4, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno) and writer, actor, podcaster, and comedian Cariad Lloyd (Griefcast, Sara & Cariad's Weirdos Book Club podcasts, Austentatious, and new book Where Did She Go?) for an episode that asks, where even are the neurotypicals?

Cariad shares about her days doing character comedy, specifically her alter ego the Sanitary Bag Lady - a woman dressed as a bathroom disposal bag who screams at men about periods - and the night a man in the audience stood up to fight her. 

Olivia tells us about a perimenopause-induced sleep crisis, a celebrity neighbour's black market melatonin, and no memory of whether she'd dropped her children off at school.

Jameela tells the stories of a lamp falling out of the sky and splitting her head open at 19, her caffeine withdrawal hallucinations during her own T4 days, and why marshmallow crocodiles will always be her #1.

Plus high speed childbirth, music festival flatulence, 50 hour marathon improv psychosis, and a husband who was still holding his salt beef sandwich when the crash team arrived.

You can find Cariad on Instagram at @cariadlloyd. Austentatious perform regularly in London's West End and on tour. Cariad's new children's book Where Did She Go? is out in May 2026 and available for pre-order now.

You can find Olivia on Instagram at @olivialeetv. Her special, Mindful Mum "was the first album of its kind, featuring x-rated angry meditation tracks." She is currently performing live comedy, writing scripts and staying away from Planet Organic.
