Jamie Denbo is an actress, comedian, formerly a writer and producer on Grey’s Anatomy (yes, that Grey’s Anatomy), and creator of The Beverly Podcast! Oh, you may have also seen her on Curb Your Enthusiasm and How I Met Your Mother.
We talk to Jamie (and Beverly) about comedy, Hollywood, Jewish moms, what we can learn about antisemitism from 12-step programs, and what happened post-October 7th in the writer’s room of a hit show (unfortunately, nothing good).
Also:
Can we talk about The Pitt instead of Grey’s Anatomy?
Whispers of support, public silence.
Turns out people don’t know what Jews are.
Your coworkers posted what on Instagram??
You can learn a lot from the antisemites.
An abundance of anger.
One righteous man in the writer’s room.
How can there be antisemitism when Donna Martin from 90210 is Jewish?
How much is real estate in the Shtetl?
Beverly is for everyone! (and thank you to the Jewish Writers Institute)
Everyone has an inappropriate, overly-sexualized aunt.
Which kind of Jews are more annoying - women or men?
Call your mother!!!

Thank you for listening to Ask A Jew! We love you all equally, but our non-Jewish listeners are more equal. We want to send some love and welness vibes to listener Jonathan Campbell, who is going through some rough shit and currently on a healing journey. Jonathan, get better soon. We can’t afford to lose any listeners <3
