The Mortified Sessions


THE MORTIFIED SESSIONS
Artists. Entertainers. Innovators.
Peek Into the Past of Your Favorite Pop Culture Personalities

UPDATE: Download season one today on iTiunes.

We've teamed with Sundance Channel to create an exciting new addition to the Mortified family. The Mortified Sessions is an unusual interview series that invites some of our favorite pop culture personalities, from celebrities to CEOs, to unearth their childhood artifacts (old diaries, letters, art, lyrics) and discuss what those items reveal about the person they've become. Each half-hour episode, Mortified founder Dave Nadelberg sits down for an offbeat, intimate, and unflinching conversation that examines: are the secrets of success buried in the awkward pages of our past?

Guests for season one include:

  • Ed Helms (The Office, Hangover, The Daily Show)
  • Bryan Cranston (Emmy winner, Breaking Bad)
  • Cheryl Hines (Emmy nominee, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Suburgatory)
  • Eric Stonestreet (Emmy winner, Modern Family)
  • Blake Mycoskie (Founder of TOM's Shoes, Bestselling author)
  • Mo'nique (Oscar winner, Precious)
  • Paul Feig (Bridesmaids director, Freaks & Geeks creator)
  • Alanis Morissette (7x Grammy winner)
  • Nick Offerman (Parks & Rec)
  • Megan Mullally (Will & Grace, Party Down)
  • Jennifer Grey (Dirty Dancing)
  • Ed Burns (Sundance award winner, Brothers McMullen)
  • Ricky Schroder (Silver Spoons, The Champ)
  • Danny Pudi (Community)
  • Will Forte (SNL, 30 Rock, MacGruber)
  • & more!

SERIES FAQ
Q: Is the TV show like the stage show?
A: The Mortified Sessions is not intended as an adaptation of our stage show, Mortified Live. As with our books or other projects, The Mortified Sessions is intended as a companion piece that exists as its own thing. We are saving the stage show's screen debut for an upcoming documentary (see below).

posterQ: Will there ever be a screen adaptation of the live stage show?
A: YES! The stage show is the focus of Mortified Nation, a traveling documentary that captures our live readings in various cities. We are very excited about this, as it marks the first time we'll be able to truly shared the stage show, in all its awkward glory, with a wider audience. Even better, the film is an independent production so we remain in full creative control.
