Doug E. Doug and I "chop it up," as they say, about Hollywood, the media, and the entertainment industry as a whole. This is a world that holds deep fascination and mystery for the layman—but from the inside looking out, this Tinseltown neighborhood can be quite costly to the soul.

It’s an exclusive place, often filled with unfriendly neighbors frolicking through the streets as if nothing ever goes wrong on these cutthroat cul-de-sacs. In this hood, morals often go missing, ending up on milk cartons like back in the late ’90s… except, since we’re in Hollywood, they’d be almond milk cartons, of course.

Doug has traversed the streets of the entertainment industry for over 30 years, so it's no surprise he came armed with a wealth of experience and insight into the social psychopathy of the various character types that keep this town spinning. Perhaps his sharp perspective comes from his multi-faceted journey as a comedian, writer, actor, director, and author.

Whatever the case, Doug didn’t hold back. He brought an arsenal of truth about the entertainment game and showed no hesitation in shooting his mouth off—in the kindest of ways—still managing to find an empathetic path through his words. He was definitely on a roll, and my job was simply to let him cook.
