For anyone who feels like their life is one disaster after another: good news–you’re not alone.
Jameela Jamil hosts a podcast called Wrong Turns where she 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.
Jameela Jamil: She was discovered at 22 years old when she was teaching English in London, UK. Her first job in media was a main host on T4, the UK’s leading youth entertainment show where she made a name for herself interviewing famous actors and musicians. She also became a journalist for Cosmopolitan Magazine and the Huffington Post. After 2 years she became the face of Maybelline and Nails Inc and in 2012, she released her own clothing line after much success in the fashion industry and having shot for both British and American Vogue, Glamour Magazine, Cosmopolitan Magazine and Japanese teen vogue. 2012 also saw her nominated for the PPA and BSME awards for her writing. Later that year she was recruited by BBC Radio 1, to host her own show on their network, which would lead to a promotion in 2013, where she made history as the first woman in its 60 years on air, to host the Official Chart on the esteemed radio station. With much success, including several awards for radio and a growing DJ career she stayed on at the network until 2015, when she left to pursue a writing career in the United States. After signing as a comedy writer at 3ARTS and being taken on by UTA, in spite of never having acted before, she was sent to audition for Michael Schur’s latest project on NBC, The Good Place (2016), to star opposite Ted Danson and Kristen Bell. The comedy series will air in the fall of 2016 for 13 episodes.
This is the episode that made Jameela feel more at home around fellow sociopaths. She welcomes comedians Leslie Liao (Netflix, Tonight Show) and Skyler Higley (Conan, the Oscars).
Leslie proves the extent to which she will flip on her friends, and Skyler reveals how ill-equipped he is to handle a kiss.
Sklyer Higley: Skyler Higley is a comedian, writer, and one of the youngest rising stars of the Chicago comedy scene. Skyler drove across the country from Salt Lake City, Utah to pursue his dream of being a stand-up comedian, and he soon learned that the Chicago comedy scene would be the best home he’s ever had. With an eclectic viewpoint and youthful energy, Skyler brings every joke to life as he takes the audience on a journey through his world. Skyler is a co-producer of the Young Hustle Show, the dopest young show in Chicago comedy. He has produced comedy shows at Annoyance Theater, Second City, and all across Chicago. He can be found as a regular performer at Zanies, shows at the Laugh Factory, and many local independent shows in Chicago.
Leslie Liao: Leslie Liao is a stand-up comedian, actress, and writer. Audiences around the world have been drawn to her relatable, introspective, and matter-of-fact style of humor which is often anchored around her experiences as a single Chinese-American woman living in Los Angeles. Leslie was recently selected to be a New Face of Comedy at Montreal’s prestigious Just For Laughs Comedy Festival 2023, and her debut set on Don’t Tell Comedy platforms, “Fixing Straight Men,” debuted boldly on YouTube with clips from her set going viral on Instagram and TikTok.
