Prue Leith – on late-in-life fame, scandalous love, and why ‘Bake Off’ is ‘a piece of cake’
'The Great British Bakeoff’ and ‘The Great American Baking Show’ Prue Leith joins the show. Over escargot, we talk about her incredible life before TV: growing up during apartheid in South Africa, falling in love with her mother’s best friend’s husband, and becoming a celebrated chef, novelist, and memoirist. Plus, Prue shares how it feels to be thriving in her 80s, and the lemon curd cupcake she still remembers from my time in the tent. This episode was recorded at L’Escargot in Soho, London.
Ps. Don’t forget to see me (alongside Prue) in The Great American Baking Show: Summer Special – out August 16 on Roku!

Dinner’s on Me with Jesse Tyler Ferguson
I’m breaking bread with big-name friends—old and new—for a delicious meal and candid convos that can only happen over a glass of wine. We're getting out of the studio and into my favorite restaurants across Los Angeles and New York City with people like Julie Bowen, Kristen Bell, Fred Armisen, Jesse Williams, Niecy Nash-Betts, and so many more. I know, a celebrity-interview podcast, who’s doing that? No one. Which is why I needed to.
We’ll get vulnerable about everything from relationships and family history, to mental health and imposter syndrome. We’ll laugh about my attempted modeling career and being starstruck by Beyoncé. Look, am I saying a chocolate soufflé is going to get me to reveal all my secrets? Yeah. Yeah, I am. So, join me… dinner’s on me.
