About this episode
In this snack chat, Ophira Eisenberg talks to legendary comedian Wendy Liebman, master of one-liners and misdirection, who has graced the stages of nearly every late-night show in history—except for one! Wendy reflects on her fascinating journey through comedy, sharing anecdotes from her time on iconic shows, the best green room snacks, and what it was like performing for the likes of Jay Leno and Jimmy Fallon. Wendy also talks about the balance between truth and fabrication in her act and how her stepchildren reacted to her jokes—especially one that made her son question reality.
