Iliza talks about her humbling experience in our parking lot before the show, having COVID twice, being close to her parents, taking her dad and stepmom to a strip club, winning “Celebrity Jeopardy!,” her new book “All Things Aside,” the amazing quote she got from Sharon Stone, and shooting her new Netflix Special “Hot Forever” in Cleveland.
Hot Forever marks Iliza Shlesinger’s sixth Netflix comedy special, tying Dave Chappelle for the most Netflix comedy specials at six.. Previous specials include Unveiled (2019), Elder Millennial (2018), Confirmed Kills (2016), Freezing Hot (2015) and War Paint (2013).
The special was filmed at the Connor Palace in Cleveland in July 2022.
Message from Iliza: “I’m so incredibly proud of this special. It’s bold, it’s real – you’ll never look at a bra the same way again…. Also, my outfit is awesome.”
In addition to her comedy specials, Shlesinger previously co-starred opposite Mark Wahlberg in Spenser Confidential, produced and starred in The Iliza Shlesinger Sketch Show, and had a supporting role in Netflix’s Pieces of a Woman. In the midst of the pandemic, she and her husband, chef and nominated James Beard Award author Noah Galuten, launched Don’t Panic Pantry, a daily social media cooking show.
Other past credits include Truth & Iliza, a limited-run talk show she hosted on Freeform; and Forever 31, a series she created and starred in for ABC Digital.
Shlesinger serves as Executive Producer of Hot Forever, alongside Kara Baker and David Martin.
Iliza Shlesinger would also announce a 2022 book tour for her new book entitled All Things Aside. The book contains a collection of essays about everyday life. In 2021, she wrote and starred in the comedy Good on Paper, based on her own real-life experience with a toxic ex-boyfriend. Now, Shlesinger, who welcomed a daughter with husband Noah Galuten in January, is spinning her new experiences into comedic gold and sage advice.
In the book, Shlesinger shares that she is “not equivocating, not beginning sentences with ‘I’m sorry.’ Just speaking as if I were a man, just saying exactly what I felt, taking the piss out of some things, making fun of myself.”
Shlesinger was intentional with the small details in All Things Aside, from her varying font choices. “If I’m going to say ‘live, laugh, love,’ it’s going to be in a tacky script,” she says, including the tiny piece of lettuce stuck in her teeth on the front cover. “I want them to see it at a Hudson News and pick it up and be like, ‘Oh, no, there’s a smudge on the cover.’ “
The six-city book tour will begin October 2nd in San Francisco, California and conclude in Chicago, IL on October 13th. Shlesinger will also host a virtual event October 4th.
Jimmy Kimmel serves as host and executive producer of Emmy®-nominated “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” ABC’s late-night talk show. “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” is well known for its huge viral video successes, with over 11 billion views and more than 15 million subscribers on the show’s YouTube channel. Some of Kimmel’s most popular comedy bits include “Celebrities Read Mean Tweets,” “Lie Witness News,” “Unnecessary Censorship,” “Halloween Candy YouTube Challenge,” and music videos like “I (Wanna) Channing All Over Your Tatum.”
