Performer & Radio Host John Hill ("Wellness Check"): "I Thought I Had EGOT-ed At Six Flags"
Listen now
Description
Dennis is joined via Zoom by writer-performer John Hill to talk about his show Wellness Check, which is a mix of standup comedy and original songs, all overseen by John's chihuahua Pete who sits atop the piano and judges both John and the audience. John talks about the real life events that inspired the show, like getting sober during the pandemic, and the hot mic moment that nearly cost his job as Andy Cohen's daily cohost on Sirius/XM radio. He also recalls one of his earliest performing jobs, singing country music at 6 Flags in San Antonio, TX at 16 and how everyone in the show was sexed up and DTF. He also talks about working as a writer-producer on TV shows like Top Chef, Project Runway and Kathy Griffin: My Life On The D List and why he's in no hurry to return to that type of work. Other topics include: his recent fitness journey and wanting to be a "slut pig one more time before it all goes to shit," his dog Pete's naked homophobia, performing on Broadway in shows like Hairspray and The Boy From Oz, kissing Hugh Jackman, the trouble with Benzos, learning to live in gratitude, getting the doll of his dreams for Christmas and that time a fellow cast member at Disneyland told him, "You are the youngest bitter old queen I’ve ever seen in my life." @johnarthurhill on Instagram
