If we’re friends, you know that SmartLess celebrates its third birthday this month. And I think it’s safe to say that Jason, Will and Sean’s Covid baby has grown up to be the most successful toddler in the podcast game. As the self-appointed President of the Jason Bateman Fan Club, I’ve honestly been feeling a…
I survived a close encounter of the Jason Bateman kind last Monday at the opening night of Good Night, Oscar on Broadway. If you followed my Instagram stories that day, you watched it all unfold in real time at the Belasco (Tabasco?) Theatre. For the rest of you, I’ll recap here and share some photos…

While I still haven’t fully recovered from the unbelievable lineup of shows I hit over the course of one jam-packed week earlier this month, I need to share the highlights with y’all right now. My winning streak started with the first preview of Summer, 1976, starring Laura Linney and Jessica Hecht. The draw for me…

Happy New Year! Hard to believe it’s already February, and I’m just now sitting down to reflect on my 2022. It’s my own fault, of course…there’s always something happening somewhere in NYC, and it’s hard not to get caught up in the constant FOMO of it all. So this year, one of my goals is…
Jason Bateman hit the NYC talk show scene hard last week to promote the upcoming Ozark series finale. Starting with an appearance at Good Morning America, he unexpectedly ended up at The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon later that day. And then the cast and crew of Ozark gathered at Paris Theater for a premiere event Thursday night.
I’ve definitely been living my best life so far in 2022, from the Jason Bateman weekend of weekends to seeing some of the biggest shows on Broadway. The one thing I hadn’t thought twice about in years has raised some eyebrows from the people around me, though. Could I really be doing these things alone?…
If you’ve been following my adventures, you know this weekend was essentially my Super Bowl. I may be utterly exhausted, but my heart is bursting with joy. And unlike the actual Super Bowl, everyone’s a winner. The weekend was such a whirlwind that it’s all starting to blur together and the individual stories from each…

I’ve come down enough from last night’s event to actually put together a coherent recap, so let’s do it. Jason Bateman was named the Hasty Pudding Theatricals (Harvard University’s theater group) Man of the Year for 2022. The event was held at Farkas Hall on the Harvard campus. The theater was tiny, I think it…
