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 Chloe Radcliffe (The Tonight Show, Command Z, Is This Thing On?) and Tone Bell (Survival of the Thickest, Coyote Versus Acme, Fam) join Jameela for an hour of bodies malfunctioning at the worst possible moments, in front of the worst possible audiences.
Tone explains the fertility surgery that left him with an unfortunate mullet situation south of the border. Chloe dishes on the film set she left almost as toxic as the non-alcoholic beverage she was there to advertise. And a house party takes a turn for the kinky and extremely public after an under-21-year-old Tone Bell resolves to avoid the dirty ice.
Plus, a Misery Loves Company confession involving a Hawaiian party, an airborne bikini bottom, and an unplanned night sleeping pantsless on a cardboard box.
Chloe is on tour now and brings her solo show Cheat to Joe’s Pub in New York this August. Tone is on tour now too, with a new podcast with his mom, Valentone’s Day, launching in August on iHeartRadio.
