Podcast appearances and mentions of Laverne Cox

More than a decade ago, Katie asked a question she now regrets—one that sparked a meeting with her guest today, Laverne Cox. In this deeply personal conversation, the two revisit that moment and the friendship that grew from it. Laverne shares why she believes transformation is still possible–even under the Trump administration—if we’re willing to be uncomfortable and to listen. They also tackle the rising wave of anti-trans legislation, the right-wing propaganda machine, and how fascism takes root. It’s part masterclass, part catch-up, and a powerful reminder that teachable moments can change more than one life—they can change the culture.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

President Donald Trump and Elon Musk's fallout is just the beginning. MSNBC political analyst Alexi McCammond and New York Times White House Correspondent Tyler Pager join The Weekend to look into the possible repercussions from the feud. Plus, presidents have used the autopen for decades, including Trump. But now, an investigation has been launched by Trump into former president Joe Biden's use of the pen, stating he used it to cover his “cognitive decline.” And, it's World Pride Day in Washington, DC.  As Americans join in on the celebration, the Trump administration is continuing its fight against LGBTQ+ communities. Laverne Cox joins The Weekend to share her thoughts.

She's one of the most famous drag queens on the planet and Peppermint is pouring all of her powerful rogue energy into her activism work in the trans and LGBTQ+ community. From why the New York Times is on her naughty list to the real reason Laverne Cox is her ultimate idol, she updates fans on her reality tv career and the one show she'd love to be a part of.

This week on Queer News with Anna DeShawn — we're talking legal wins and loses, representation on-screen, and unmatched excellence on the basketball court. A U.S. federal appeals court deals a blow to Trump's anti-trans military ban, affirming the right of our trans siblings to serve with pride. But across the pond, the UK Supreme Court drops a devastating ruling stripping trans people of legal recognition.  In culture, we lift up the groundbreaking TLC show Jay & Pamela — a love story breaking barriers around disability, queerness, and visibility. We mourn the cancellation of Clean Slate, Laverne Cox's bold sitcom, and celebrate WNBA icon Candace Parker as the LA Sparks announce her jersey retirement this Pride Month. And to close, we honor Black lesbian poet Pat Parker for Lesbian Visibility Week with her searing classic, my lover is a woman. This episode is a ride through pain, pride, power — and the poetry that keeps us grounded. Let's get into it, family.

Brenna and Joe return with their first book to film adaptation episode with a discussion of Scott Westerfeld's 2005 dystopian novel Uglies and the long delayed 2024 film adaptation by McG.This is...a miss. The book has extremely shallow commentary and has editing issues, while the film has (yes) ugly CGI hoverboard action and an unconvincing love interest. And then there's Laverne Cox as a villain who forces children to undergo surgery, which is just unfortunate considering the current political transphobic moment. Yikes! Wanna connect with the show?

Known for his sharp wit and timeless humor, George joins the show to talk about his brand-new Amazon Prime series, Clean Slate, where he stars alongside Laverne Cox. The series follows an old-school car wash owner in Alabama who gets the surprise of his life when his long-lost child returns home—now as a proud trans woman. Watch Clean Slate now on Amazon Prime: Amazon Prime Link. Beyond his new show, George and Gentry take a trip down memory lane, reminiscing about the golden era of comedy in the 70s. He shares stories about performing alongside legends like Robin Williams, Eddie Murphy, and Richard Pryor, offering firsthand insights into the comedy revolution that shaped stand-up as we know it today.

Get ready for a hilarious and insightful conversation with one of comedy’s greatest storytellers, only on Backstage Pass with Gentry Thomas!

Comedian George Wallace has finally become the lead of his own sitcom at 72. And all it took was convincing Norman Lear to reimagine ‘Sanford and Son' with Laverne Cox as his character's trans daughter in the TV legend's final project. In this episode, Wallace talks about everything that went into making his new series ‘Clean Slate' happen—and what he hopes it teaches the most ignorant members of MAGA nation. The stand-up comedian also looks back at his more than 50 year career in show business, from the racist undertones of his early appearances on Johnny Carson's ‘Tonight Show' to his lifelong friendship with Jerry Seinfeld, who he says he still competes with for laughs to this day. The prolific tweeter also takes time to sound off on Elon Musk, who he believes should “go to jail just for creating that Cybertruck.”Follow George Wallace on X @MrGeorgeWallace and Instagram @therealgeorgewallace Follow Matt Wilstein on Bluesky @mattwilstein Follow The Last Laugh on Instagram @lastlaughpod and Threads @lastlaughpodHighlights from this episode and others at The Daily Beast Hosted on Acast.

It's our Season TEN premiere AND our ONE HUNDREDTH EPISODE! Thank you to all of our listeners! We are thrilled to be back with our third Abortionpalooza, but much less stoked about the fact that thanks to the overturning of Roe V. Wade, uterus-owning Americans currently have less bodily autonomy than they did in Nineteen Hundred and Seventy Three.  We kick things off with a brief history of abortion depiction on television and examine season 3, episode 5 of the teen cop drama, 21 Jump Street, "Whose Choice is it Anyway?". It originally aired on December 11th 1988 on the Fox network. It stars Holly Robinson-Peete, Stacey Edwards, and Dana Ashbrook (Twin Peaks). The teleplay by Michelle Ashford (Masters of Sex, Cat Person), is surprisingly progressive and they even go so far as to make an anti-choice terrorist the villain.  Then we tool around with Lily Tomlin and Julia Garner in 2015's "Grandma", directed by Paul Weitz (American Pie, About a Boy), and co-written by Tomlin, who put a lot of her own voice in it. Garner plays a high school girl who asks her free-wheeling grandmother (Tomlin) to help her scrounge up enough money to make it to an abortion appointment by 5 pm. Judy Greer, Marsha Gay Harden, Laverne Cox, and John Cho round out a fun supporting cast.  We touch on themes such as who *needs* to be involved in deciding what to do about a pregnancy (*spoiler alert* it's pretty much just the person carrying the fetus), where should kids get information about pregnancy and birth control, and why women should be valued for more than just their fertility.  On the Lunchtime Poll, we reveal some information we wish we had never received.

Gen Z is finally getting their YA movie mania. Or, sorta. They got this one. This singular movie. Starring Joey King, Laverne Cox, Keith Power, Chase Stokes and Brianne Tju, we deep dive into this dystopian hell where you're insecurities are highlighted. But don't worry, when you turn 16, before you can drive a car, you get to consent to major plastic surgery and change anything you want about your appearance. Not only do you GET to, you're required to. The other option is living in the woods with a bunch of Uglies who are objectively hotter that the Pretties.  Don't worry, we're confused too. 

Daddy Gang, it's time to change the way we think about aging. Hear from Alex and three iconic women - Heidi Klum, Laverne Cox, and Aly Raisman - about how their perspectives on getting older have evolved over the years and why we shouldn't be afraid of aging.

This month, Laverne stars in the Netflix film “Uglies,” a dystopian story set in a future society where everyone undergoes extreme cosmetic surgery at the age of 16 to become “pretty.” Laverne joins the Bright Side to discuss her latest role, her changing perceptions of beauty standards, and how at 52, she is saying “yes to life.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"Serving Aces" with Alexandra Stevenson and co-host Hugues Laverdière discuss the winners of the US Open titles - Jannick Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka.  The Sinner-Fritz match was straight forward because Fritz didn't use his legs or the whole court to force Sinner out of position.  Sinner just kept coming - even in the third when it appeared Fritz was going to give the crowd more energy and win the set at 5-4, serving.  Some errors and mishits gave the game to Sinner - and that was really the match.  Sinner wins 7-5. Pegula-Sabalenka was two sets.  It was the Sabalenka power and serve that took over the match, though Pegula had chances in the match.  Pegula has shown that her climb up the ladder has been steady - Sabalenka was just better.  Alexandra talks about the Nick Kyrigos controversy over his former girl friend, Kalinskaya, and now girl friend to Sinner.  The funny triangle gives tennis a soap opera tone that it desperately needs to keep social media happy. Many celebrities including Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, Patrick Mahomes, Matthew McConaughey, Seal, Anna Wintour, Katy Ladecky, Laverne Cox, Simone Biles.

He also talks about interviewing such Field devotees as Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Catrall, Vanessa Williams and Michael Urie. Other topics include: Field's long love affair with a much younger woman, the queer icons who once worked at Field's NYC boutique including Laverne Cox and Candace Cayne, shooting with drones in Manhattan, Michael's previous narrative feature Fixing Frank--which is coming to streaming soon--and that time Patricia complimented his outfit, which totally made his day. https://greenwichentertainment.com/film/1731-2/
