Podcast appearances and mentions of chris witherspoon

On this week's episode of 'The Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart': Showtime. President Trump is set to give his first address to a joint session of Congress after a chaotic and cruel start to his second term, including his embarrassing Oval Office ambush of an American ally. Sen. Chris Van Hollen joins me to discuss how the Democrats will respond and how this week changed everything. Crackdown: Trump signs an Executive Order making English the country's official language, a largely symbolic gesture in a nation with 42 million Spanish speakers. I'll ask Maria Hinojosa if this is really about policy or just political theater. Plot Twist: As we count down to tonight's Academy Awards, Chris Witherspoon, joins me with his predictions and details on a surprise special guest. Hint, It's Kamala Harris! All that and more on “The Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart.” 

Joy Ann shares her shock and delight to seeing herself portrayed on SNL! Also the Play Cousins chime in on the backlash Snoop, Nelly and others are facing for performing at Inauguration activities.

On this week's episode of 'The Saturday Show with Jonathan Capehart': Pardon power. Before he leaves office, President Biden has the constitutional authority to pardon anyone he chooses for federal crimes. Some Republicans argue that pardoning Donald Trump would "heal" the country. Biden could also pardon his own son, Hunter, although he's vowed not to. I'll ask Ankush Khardori and Kimberly Atkins Stohr who they think could and should receive presidential pardons. And, raising alarms. Health experts warn that confirming Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as HHS Secretary could actually cost lives. We'll talk to Gov. Josh Green of Hawaii, a medical doctor who has first-hand experience with the consequences of RFK Jr.'s misinformation and conspiracy theories about childhood vaccinations. And the Watch List. "Wicked," "Gladiator 2" and the "Moana" sequel fueled a Black Friday box office bonanza, but what else should you be watching? Chris Witherspoon joins me with best movies and TV shows to put on your holiday watch list. All that and more on “The Saturday Show with Jonathan Capehart.”

This is one of my favorite evergreen episodes. Chris Witherspoon is an entertainment journalist, producer, entrepreneur and CEO of PopViewers who taught me how his career soared to the next level when he unlearned the importance of seeking approval. Instead of looking outward he focused inward on his approval matrix: Feeling happy, great in his own skin, confident and loving his work. As a recovering people pleaser I know firsthand how much time and energy is wasted seeking approval. Chris has overcome enormous challenges to create his life and career. Therapy, digging dip and doing the hard work helped Chris learn to let go of needing approval. So did listening to the sage advice of two very wise women: Sister Harden (14:17) - one of the church muthas at his congregation growing up in Ohio - told Chris before he left for college, “If you don't see the example, be the example." Oprah has a soft spot for Chris as an interviewer and shared with him how, when the chips are down and you feel you're at rock bottom, go sit under a tree, get settled and at peace with the moment so you can receive the answers you seek (21:13) and how early in her career she  sacrificed her authenticity and integrity in exchange for approval and never made that mistake again (25:54). Bonus tip: Oprah always repeats your name when you interview her. So does Barack Obama.  More key takeaways: Ask what makes you happy? Ask what makes you feel alive? Ask what makes you jump out of bed in the morning? Ask for help - it's an act of bravery. Chris is the founder and CEO of PopViewers, the platform that helps you find what to watch next, invites you to react to the TV and movies you've watched, and encourages you to share the experience with fellow content-lovers.

Chris Witherspoon has become a powerful entertainment journalist who has interviewed top-level celebrities throughout his career. He also appears as a regular on MSNBC, the TODAY show, the Wendy Williams Show, and NBC's Nightly News giving his insights on entertainment news. But his latest project shows his entrepreneurial side. He has created PopViewers, a website and an app. According to its website, https://popviewers.com/, “PopViewers is the platform that helps you find what to watch next, invites you to react to the TV shows and movies you've watched, and encourages you to share the experience with fellow content-lovers.” Witherspoon's intent is to give the common person a voice in content creation and the direction of entertainment media…just like the established critics. PopViewers democratizes public opinion about media content. He also wants to give a forum for diverse voices to be heard about media produced by major media companies and register those diverse opinions.

We can give approval, we can receive approval and very often we put too much time and energy into seeking approval. As a recovering people pleaser, I know this well.   My guest for this episode of Camera Ready & Abel, entertainment journalist, producer, and entrepreneur Chris Witherspoon, gets raw and vulnerable sharing how his quest for approval stalled him from getting to his next level of greatness in his career until he focused on what made him truly happy and listened to two very important women in his life.   Sister Harden - one of the church muthas at his congregation growing up in Ohio - told Chris before he left for college, “If you don't see the example, be the example."   Oprah - no last name needed - has a soft spot for Chris as an interviewer and that early in her career she sacrificed her authenticity and integrity in exchange for approval and never made that mistake again.   Key takeaway - besides always listen to Sister Harden and Oprah - tune out the noise and tune into your own internal approval matrix:   What makes you happy? What makes you feel alive? What makes you jump out of bed in the morning?   Tapping into this led Chris to become the founder and CEO of Popviewers, the platform that helps you find what to watch next, invites you to react to the TV and movies you've watched, and encourages you to share the experience with fellow content-lovers.

Chris Witherspoon, an entertainment journalist regularly appearing on The Today Show The 3rd hour Today, and Wendyshow. But an even greater accomplishment is Chris's current venture, Pop Viewers app where he is the founder and CEO. This app is a platform that helps viewers find what to watch next, invites them to react to the TV shows and movies watched, and encourages them to share the experience with fellow content-lovers. We sip on fan favorite, Bulleit Bourbon a whiskey that is near and dear to Chris's heart.
