Casey is a dream TMAI guest. First of all, she, like me, is fluent in Real Housewives and dropped the most shocking Housewives truth bomb in this episode that absolutely shook me to my core. Secondly, she wrote one of my favorite books, The Wreckage of My Presence, in which she generously details ALL of her cringiest moments and bad feelings. She also shines a light on a formative childhood experience that she and I both went through and commiserated about extensively. 
 
We talked about getting fired from SNL, losing her mom, finding love after rejection, the mystique and rulebook of the “cool girl” and how we have both nurtured (...and resisted) our undying and unwavering devotion to bed. 
 
Casey Wilson is an actress, writer, director and podcaster. You know her from Happy Endings, Saturday Night Live, The Shrink Next Door, Marry Me, Black Monday, Mrs. Fletcher, and Curb Your Enthusiasm, as well as films such as Gone Girl, Julie and Julia, and Always be My Maybe. Casey co-wrote and co-starred in the movies Bride Wars and Ass Backwards with her longtime collaborator June Diane Raphael. Alongside Danielle Schneider, she co-hosts the hit podcast Bitch Sesh. Her directorial debut, Daddio, premiered at SXSW and TIFF. Casey lives with her husband and two young sons in Los Angeles.
 
Seriously, go buy The Wreckage of My Presence. I cannot recommend this book enough. You’ll feel like you’re hanging with your best friend who has the best stories, and you won’t want it to end.
