  Comedian and actor Rachel Feinstein (Inside Amy Schumer, Crashing, Trainwreck, Big Guy on Netflix) and comedian, actor, and writer Ben Gleib (Chelsea Lately, Ice Age: Continental Drift, Good Night with Ben Gleib on YouTube) join Jameela to share their most catastrophic life moments, and things go off the rails almost immediately.Ben reveals what happens when Chelsea Handler gets bored on a private jet and peer-pressures you into propositioning the flight crew, while Rachel recounts the Christmas she tried to impress her future in-laws and ended up with a mouthful of candle wax. Both agree: the key to surviving humiliation is to just keep going.Later, Ben's attempt to save $37 on an Uber spirals into a full parking lot brawl involving a surprise Coffee Mate attack, and Rachel takes us to the saddest hotel in New York City, where every channel is porn, and her date packed matching Giants pajamas.Along the way, Jameela shares the time a therapist dumped her after one session, and the gang discovers they are all furiously, passionately angry about geography.

  Comedian Rory Scovel (Physical, Babylon, Rooster) and actor, comedian, and impressionist James Adomian (Netflix, Comedy Bang Bang, Rick and Morty) join Jameela for an episode that goes completely off the rails, including an Alex Jones/Seth Rogen mashup that Jameela calls one of her favorite moments in the history of the podcast.James's Big Wrong Turn is one of the greatest heckle stories ever told on this podcast: opening for Joan Rivers at a 3,000-seat casino in South Florida, facing a mutiny of elderly audience members, and discovering a side of Joan you've probably never heard. Rory's involves a pool party at age 12, an unfortunate bodily betrayal, and a decades-long cover-up that a childhood friend recently confirmed was not as secret as he thought.In Misery Loves Company, listener Armando shares a college dorm sleepwalking incident that unlocks a fear none of us knew we had.Follow Rory at @RoryScovel everywhere and listen to CrimeLess wherever you get your podcasts.

Audrey finally hooks up with her dream college crush only for him to ruin it all with two devastating words the next morning. Then the Big Wrong Turns get even wilder - Audrey's best day of second grade takes a turn that has to be heard to be believed, and Laura's post-vocal-cord-surgery sorority era involves a whistle, a dry erase board, and a frat party bunk bed disaster.Jameela confesses to mistakenly calling Oaxaca "Waxico," the group debates whether the purple pool pee dye was ever real, and a Misery Loves Company listener learns that Nair and romance do not mix.Find Laura on Instagram @laurapeek and Audrey @audreystewisart.Jameela's Substack is A Low Desire To Please, you can also find her on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube.Our consulting producer is Colin Anderson.Wrong Turns was created and produced by Jameela Jamil and Stewart Bailey.

• Gianmarco Soresi and Raanan Hershberg 07.05.2026 41мин

  Comedian and actor Gianmarco Soresi (Thief of Joy comedy special, Netflix, The Downside podcast) and comedian Raanan Hershberg (The Tonight Show, Comedy Central, Your Favorite Movie Sucks podcast) join Jameela for an episode that encompasses the Middle East peace process, the American healthcare system, and fraternity hazing rituals involving marshmallows.Gianmarco's micro humiliation takes us back to college, where four years of anxiety about cracking during a song culminated in exactly that, on the final note of an eight-minute Rodgers and Hammerstein soliloquy, in front of everyone, with absolutely no way to play it off. His Big Wrong Turn begins with a gig booked through his uncle in real estate: a private roast of a 50-year-old stranger at his second bachelor party in a New Jersey steakhouse. He shows up in a suit. They're in shorts. They're sitting in a circle. And it only gets worse from there.Raanan's Big Wrong Turn is less wrong turn, more system failure. His girlfriend has an eye stroke, and what follows is an ambulance with no siren, insurance paperwork filled out in the back of said ambulance, a doctor appearing via video call from her kitchen, and a transfer to a second hospital in a storm immediately after taking blood thinners. America!In this week's Misery Loves Company, a listener named Edward recounts a fraternity initiation involving a marshmallow relay race that is exactly as bad as it sounds, and makes the only sane decision anyone in this episode manages.Follow Raanan at @RaananComedy and watch his podcast Your Favorite Movie Sucks on YouTube.

  Comedians, writers, and co-hosts of the legendary podcast Guys We F****d, Krystyna Hutchinson and Corinne Fisher join Jameela this week for an episode that gets intimate, unhinged, and deeply relatable in equal measure.Corinne shares what happened when she tried to set the mood on a COVID-era Zoom date with Post-it note talking points, deli container margaritas, and a candle that set her hair on fire. Krystyna's Big Wrong Turn takes us inside Hurricane Sandy, a flooding apartment, a boyfriend who promised to throw out his ex-porn-star's Fleshlight collection, and the moment she discovered he had not. Jameela, meanwhile, reveals that her inner self on psychedelics turned out to be a very boring white lady who shops at Erewhon, and recounts the full catastrophic chain of events leading up to her Good Place audition, including curling her hair with her roommate's dildo and spending ten minutes alone in a casting director's bathroom using her teeth as a wrench.This week's Misery Loves Company comes from listener Josie, who declared her love at a prom after party, spent ten minutes arguing with the guy that he did love her actually, and ran into him the next morning looking like Beetlejuice.You can find Krystyna and Corinne's podcast Guys We F**ked wherever you get your podcasts.

  Comedian, writer, and producer Ian Lara (Tonight Show veteran, HBO special Romantic Comedy, new free special Material Boy on YouTube) and writer, producer, and director Michael Blieden (The Daily Show, Broad City, forthcoming Mitch Hedberg documentary) join Jameela with stories that will make you feel significantly better about your own life choices.Ian once decided the best path to fame was an original rap performed acapella in coordinated outfits in front of his entire elementary school. Michael once accidentally played a podcast that opened with "Are white people special?" to his Black driver and just... kept it on. Jameela once performed a full Sally Bowles striptease routine from Cabaret at her all-girls school aged 12, and was bribed by her headmistress not to do it again.Also: an exploding chili dog audition, Larry David, and a listener who learned that "Fiona" sounds like Italian slang for something you really don't want your name to mean.You can follow Ian at @ianlara on Instagram and TikTok and watch his specials on YouTube and HBO.

Jordan and thirty-five minutes of shimmying politely in the background. Ava, meanwhile, shares what happens when you answer a phone call mid-hookup convinced it's a casting director, and what happens when the entire contents of a large coffee decide to make their exit during a Zoom audition with Mindy Kaling.This week's Misery Loves Company comes from listener Jess, whose very enthusiastic sex life managed to send a firefighter back into a second round of ACL surgery, and inspires the team to ask: "Should we have signature moves?"You can follow Kat on Instagram at @katbirdcomedy and find her tour dates at katbirdcomedy.com.

• Daphnique Springs and Matt Braunger 26.03.2026 43мин

  Comedian and actor Daphnique Springs (Single Female YouTube special, Unapologetically Daphne podcast) and comedian and actor Matt Braunger (Black-ish, Agent Carter, comedy special Doug) join Jameela for an episode that begins with a theory about serial killers and ends in total, beautiful chaos.Matt's Big Wrong Turn takes us to a wedding he absolutely should not have attended -- the wedding of a woman he was having an on-again off-again affair with. What follows is a masterclass in how not to be inconspicuous, featuring a one-man karaoke show on a table with the bride's aunt, shots at the bar with the woman who just said her vows, and a solo retreat to a closet to contemplate his life choices. The twist at the end makes it all worth it.Daphnique's Big Wrong Turn begins as a love story: a wealthy dentist, gifts from Versace, vacations, family introductions, and what looked very much like the soft life within reach. It ends at a Beverly Hills boutique counter, where a sales associate mistakes her for someone else entirely, and the whole architecture of the relationship collapses in an instant.Along the way, Jameela recounts getting hit by a car, breaking her back, doing star jumps out of sheer adrenaline, and not mentioning it to anyone before having to spend a year and a half in bed. She also shares the story of turning down a marriage proposal by email, citing concerns of a deeply anatomical nature.Misery Loves Company this week comes courtesy of a couple in China who attempted a TikTok trend involving a fist and a mouth and ended up in hospital. Don't try everything you see on TikTok, kids.Find Daphnique Springs at iamdsprings.com and Matt Braunger at mattbraunger.com - they're both touring regularly so catch them live!Jameela's Substack is A Low Desire To Please, you can also find her on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube.Our consulting producer is Colin Anderson.Wrong Turns was created and produced by Jameela Jamil and Stewart Bailey.

• Alan Tudyk and Jade Catta-Preta 19.03.2026 37мин

  Actor Alan Tudyk (Arrested Development, Rogue One, Resident Alien) and comedian and actor Jade Catta-Preta (Modern Family, Life in Pieces, The Soup on E!) join Jameela for an episode that somehow ends up exactly where you'd expect, and nowhere you could have predicted.Alan's micro humiliation arrives courtesy of a chance encounter with a Disney executive, a case of mistaken identity, and the particular horror of confidently addressing the wrong powerful man by the wrong name to his face. His Big Wrong Turn takes us to a casual industry football game, where Alan shows up with brand new boots bought the day before, immediately starts playing what can only be described as rug-ball, gets demoted to goalie, concedes three goals, and is the only person in Los Angeles not invited for drinks afterwards.Jade's micro humiliation unfolds live on Watch What Happens, when an attempt to remove a stray hair from Andy Cohen's face reveals that it is very much still attached to him. Her Big Wrong Turn takes us back to a school production that cemented her fate as the default ethnic casting choice for every role going, from Lola in Damn Yankees to Scary Spice, not because she was the best fit, but because she was the only brown person in the building.In place of this week's Misery Loves Company, Jameela shares the story of paying for a friend's IVF to avoid becoming a godmother, only to watch that friend meet her sperm donor the night before the procedure and immediately render the whole thing completely unnecessary.Watch Alan Tudyk in Resident Alien on Sci-Fi and Peacock, and in Superman. He also co-hosts Once We Were Spacemen with Nathan Fillion, available wherever you get your podcasts.

• Taran Killam and Jenn Lyon 12.03.2026 42мин

  Comedian and actor Taran Killam (Saturday Night Live, High Potential, 12 Years a Slave) and actor Jenn Lyon (Claws, The English Teacher, Dead Boy Detectives) join Jameela and immediately reveal themselves to be two of the purest, yet most deeply unhinged people she has ever encountered.Taran opens with a micro humiliation for the ages: the time he forgot every lyric to the same Hamilton song he'd performed hundreds of times, in front of 1,300 high school kids who knew every single word. His Big Wrong Turn, however, takes us back to 2001 and a backstage encounter with Tenacious D and Dave Grohl that begins with hero worship, escalates through increasingly desperate attempts at shock humor, and ends with Jack Black delivering the most devastating possible verdict on his presence in the room.Jenn's micro humiliation is a masterclass in the cruelty of school nicknames, and how she went from "Majestic Lemon", to "Derbis", to "Two Tut" all within her fourth grade year. Her Big Wrong Turn arrives courtesy of the Atkins diet, a metric ton of sugar-free candy, and the particular horror of realizing mid-song, in full period corsetry, that something has gone catastrophically wrong inside your tights.Along the way, Jameela reveals a friend's long-running photo-bombing habit that has somehow survived the #MeToo era, and explains exactly why she could never, ever do a play or a TED Talk.Misery Loves Company comes from Greg, whose college habit of casually exposing a testicle in public went unnoticed until a woman asking for directions clocked it and offered some gentle medical advice.Watch Taran Killam and Jenn Lyon in Stumble, Fridays on NBC and streaming on Peacock.Jameela's Substack is A Low Desire To Please, you can also find her on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube.Our consulting producer is Colin Anderson.Wrong Turns was created and produced by Jameela Jamil and Stewart Bailey.

  Jameela is joined by comedian, writer, actors Guy Branum (Hacks, The Mindy Project, Chelsea Lately) and X Mayo (Loot, The Daily Show).Together they swap stories that probably should have stayed buried forever - the kind of wrong turns that begin with confidence and end in public humiliation.

• Blair Socci and Arden Myrin 26.02.2026 50мин

  Comedians Arden Myrin (The Righteous Gemstones, Shameless, and host of Will You Accept This Rose?) and Blair Socci (Comedy Central, CBS, Bob’s Burgers, and host of Spaced Out with Blair Socci) join Jameela for an episode that immediately reveals itself to be a twin flame friendship.From the very first minute, dignity packs its bags.Blair shares a laundromat incident involving a forgotten vibrator, a Catholic school gray sweatpants catastrophe, and a UTI so severe it required meeting a boyfriend’s entire extended family in the emergency room. Arden counters with a black diamond ski slope humiliation that derailed a teenage crush, plus candy theft, DayQuil disasters, and the kind of adolescent yearning that makes you believe walking past a video store sixty times a day is completely normal.Along the way, the three of them unpack bladder betrayal, edible miscalculations, shame spirals, crush delusions, and the deeply spiritual power of simply owning your humiliation before anyone else can weaponize it.It’s chaos. It’s confession. It’s extremely bonded feminine energy.And it’s what happens when you realize that common sense was chasing you, but you were faster.Jameela's Substack is A Low Desire To Please, you can also find her on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube.Our consulting producer is Colin Anderson.Wrong Turns was created and produced by Jameela Jamil and Stewart Bailey.

• Bonus: Steve Agee and Erica Rhodes 23.02.2026 9мин

  Comedian Steve Agee (The Suicide Squad, Peacemaker, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2) and comedian Erica Rhodes (Bring Back the Funny, Modern Family, Last Comic Standing) joined Jameela Jamil for one of those sessions that spiraled gloriously out of control.The conversation ran long because Steve told an extra story that was so catastrophically funny, so unnecessary, and so vividly described that it could not be left on the cutting room floor.What begins as a boisterous teenage party leads to catastrophic consequences, and one of the most graphic cautionary tales ever told on Wrong Turns. Erica nearly loses it, Jameela somehow has a worse story from the last couple of weeks that she'd forgotten to mention until now.It is gross. It is detailed. It is absolutely a warning to hydrate responsibly.Follow Steve Agee for more stories you may or may not be emotionally prepared for, and follow Erica Rhodes for sharp wit that remains impressively intact even under extreme narrative conditions.And as always, follow Wrong Turns (TikTok) for more stories that probably should have stayed inside people’s heads.Jameela's Substack is A Low Desire To Please, you can also find her on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube.Our consulting producer is Colin Anderson.Wrong Turns was created and produced by Jameela Jamil and Stewart Bailey.

  Comedians Erica Rhodes (Veep, Modern Family, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert) and Steve Agee (Guardians of the Galaxy, Peacemaker, Abbott Elementary) join Jameela for an episode that begins with dietary advice and ends… in a urologist’s office.Erica recounts the date that launched a viral moment, involving a wildly inappropriate comparison, some questionable role-play, and a man who may or may not be a pathological liar. She also shares the most humbling twist of fate imaginable after attempting to make someone jealous in New York.Steve delivers a catastrophic Hollywood Boulevard micro-humiliation involving laundry day, no drawstring, and rush-hour traffic, before taking us deep into the saga of kidney stones, shockwave therapy, and a medical procedure that will have you crossing your legs in solidarity.Along the way, Jameela reflects on early career panic, birthday disappointments, dating interrogations outside police stations, and maybe recommends morphine?This is an episode about humiliation, survival, and the strange comfort of knowing that one day, even your worst moment might make a great story.Follow Erica at ericarhodescomedy.com for tour dates.Follow Steve everywhere he appears, which is apparently everywhere.Jameela's Substack is A Low Desire To Please, you can also find her on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube.Our consulting producer is Colin Anderson.Wrong Turns was created and produced by Jameela Jamil and Stewart Bailey.

• Travon Free and Rob Corddry 12.02.2026 41мин

  Comedians Travon Free (The Daily Show, Two Distant Strangers - Netflix) and Rob Corddry (The Daily Show, Hot Tub Time Machine) join Jameela for a masterclass in public humiliation, professional disaster, and the kind of moments that will forever wake you up at 3am.Travon shares the teenage moment he thought he had twenty minutes of privacy with his girlfriend, until he very much did not, and then the career nightmare of accidentally emailing one of his scripts to the entire staff at The Daily Show, gifting the funniest people in television unlimited ammunition.Rob relives the night he bombed so catastrophically while hosting a room full of movie stars that he instructed his wife to get the car running. The crowd froze, legends stared him down, and one extremely famous comedy god enjoyed every second of the collapse.Along the way, Jameela reflects on falling spectacularly at her latest premiere, why disaster can feel hilarious mid-air, and the cringiest story of celebrity leftovers.Dignity is not recovered. It rarely is.Jameela's Substack is A Low Desire To Please, you can also find her on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube.Our consulting producer is Colin Anderson.Wrong Turns was created and produced by Jameela Jamil and Stewart Bailey.

• Ed Helms and Brian Huskey 05.02.2026 49мин

  Jameela welcomes Ed Helms (The Office, The Hangover, SNAFU podcast) and Brian Huskey (Veep, Bob’s Burgers, Community) for a masterclass in public humiliation, bodily betrayal, and the art of staying professional while everything is actively going wrong.Ed shares about his resting plane face, then revisits an Office scene that turned into a sealed-car panic situation. From there, things escalate in Bangkok, where one innocent street food decision leads to him shirtless on a red-light-district sidewalk between takes, being fed Sprite through a straw by Bradley Cooper and Zach Galifianakis.Meanwhile, Brian’s commitment to “the bit” reaches medically concerning levels, as a flirtation story becomes a full fainting incident that nobody recognises as a real emergency. Add in digestive disasters, professional embarrassment, and the delicate balance between dignity and dehydration, and you’ve got another episode of Wrong Turns doing exactly what it says on the tin. No lessons. No recovery arc. Just three people trying to survive their own bodies in public.Jameela's Substack is A Low Desire To Please, you can also find her on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube.Our consulting producer is Colin Anderson.Wrong Turns was created and produced by Jameela Jamil and Stewart Bailey.

  Comedians Jiaoying Summers (What Specie Are You? Hulu Special, Tiger Mum Podcast) and Yola Jean Lu (Help My Vagina Is Trying to Kill Me special, Patsy short film) join Jameela Jamil for an “Asian invasion,” unpacking shame, power, and humiliation in ways only Wrong Turns can.Jiaoying shares the childhood story that rewired her immune system forever, involving a roadside motel and discarded “balloons.” She also recounts the most mortifying collision of debt, pride, and gynecological exams imaginable, and explains why embarrassment loses all power once you decide not to care.Yola brings exquisitely awkward confessions, including a man who periodically asks for nudes with unsettling sincerity, and a prolonged, one-sided love story with a dentist that involved unnecessary Invisalign, a farewell card, and travel-size toothpaste.Along the way, Jameela reflects on inherited guilt, public embarrassment, private text messages never meant to be seen, and the strange ways women are taught to feel indebted just for existing.And remember next time you're having some special alone time... the ancestors are watching.Jameela's Substack is A Low Desire To Please, you can also find her on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube.Our consulting producer is Colin Anderson.Wrong Turns was created and produced by Jameela Jamil and Stewart Bailey.

• Leah Rudick and Alyssa Limperis 22.01.2026 44мин

  Comedians Leah Rudick (High Maintenance, Spiraling special on Apple, live tickets) and Alyssa Limperis (What We Do in the Shadows, Short of the Week film, No Bad Days special on Peacock) join Jameela for a conversation that begins with a “30 Day Rule” for food found on the floor and somehow escalates into concussions, sex education failures, and deeply inappropriate generosity from future in-laws.Alyssa recounts the day an intimacy coordinator stopped a sex scene to explain that she was not doing sex correctly, while Leah shares the unforgettable experience of meeting her mother-in-law for the first time and being invited to browse, borrow, and ultimately take home items from her personal sex drawer.Along the way, Jameela traces the long arc of repeated head injuries, a childhood with zero sex education, and the strange humiliations that shape how we move through our bodies as adults.No silver linings. No dignity. Just three comedians comparing notes on shame, consent, and why some rules really should have an expiration date.Jameela's Substack is A Low Desire To Please, you can also find her on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube.Our consulting producer is Colin Anderson.Wrong Turns was created and produced by Jameela Jamil and Stewart Bailey.
