Comedian Heather McMahan joins Sam to talk about how she’s what you would get if Joan Rivers and Conan O’Brien had a baby, why she chose to self-produce her comedy special Breadwinner and the importance of being your own yes-man. They also talk about the joys of the human body, like ovarian cysts bursting on transatlantic flights, if there’s anything she doesn’t think her audience wants her to joke about (there isn’t), and why everyone is getting Plan B in their Christmas stockings this year. Plus, Heather talks about her red carpet coverage and living in the Deep South. Keep up with Samantha Bee @realsambee on Instagram and X.
