Anna Faris Is UnqualifiedHost Anna Faris

Celebrities hosting their own podcasts isn't exactly a new concept. However, Anna Faris joined the growing medium and quickly dominated the comedy-podcast charts with her refreshingly candid opinions and self-deprecating conversations with famous friends. What initially began as a show about listeners getting “not-great relationship advice from completely unqualified Hollywood types” has become a modern-day variety show of sorts, with a who’s-who of guests each week (including an occasional cameo by husband Chris Pratt). Faris exudes an infectious charm in awkward bits and far-fetched improv exercises, like when she makes her guests pitch hilariously awful movie remakes to the eccentric studio-head character she’s developed named Karen Sarducci (who is mother to two children named Milo and Ventimiglia). But beyond the funny, it is the window into Faris’ life away from the cameras — and the actress’ knack for making each listener feel like one of her best friends — that gives her podcast such an intimate feel. For someone who doesn’t think she’s skilled enough to dole out sound advice, Faris has proved she’s well worth a weekly standing appointment.
