Episode 34: Lisa Ann Walter

over 9 years ago

Lisa Ann Walter is, and always has been, a very busy woman. Known for stand-out roles in features such as The Parent Trap, Bruce Almighty, War of the Worlds, Killers and Shall We Dance, Lisa also co-created, produced and starred in several half-hour sitcoms including Life’s Work for ABC, and she's the creator and judge of Dance Your Ass Off for the Oxygen network. I get tired just thinking about all of it! But wait! There's more! Lisa is also the co-creator, writer/producer and director of the hit action web-series, Gonzo Girlz as well as The Naughty Show – All-Girl Comedy Review, as well as hosting The Fabulous Lisa Ann Walter Show on KFI Radio. Still not enough? Walter’s book of comedic essays, The Best Thing About My Ass Is That It’s Behind Me was #12 on the NY Times Comedy Bestseller List. But most importantly, Lisa is a great friend and a wealth of advice and valuable information for people who strive to be as busy as she is. WARNING: this episode contains dangerous levels of genuine fun.
