Actually Not Dumb

The couch has a new guest and he has never watched a single episode. Not one. We are starting there. Liz is joined by Sean Gispert, her hairdresser, her friend, and apparently someone who needed four days of reminders and still showed up completely unprepared. They met four years ago at a salon in Tribeca through what can only be described as two loud people recognizing each other across a room an...

Welcome to the Outtakes!! Liz just got out of a mosh pit. She has thoughts. Zero filter as always. This week we open on something that cannot be unseen once you see it — guys who date girls who look like their family members. You know who you are. We are not naming names. Then we get into the Devil Wears Prada era war stories. The time she threw a sweater at a coworker and said hey bitch wrap this...

The solo episodes are back and Liz is coming in hot. This week she is opening the submission box for the first time and reading your "am I actually dumb for..." confessions live with zero preparation and zero filter.

The first man has officially taken a seat on the Actually Not Dumb couch, and it had to be him. Xavier, aka X, is my husband, my best friend, and the person who is somehow both the easiest and hardest person to schedule as a guest despite living in the same apartment. We have been together for 10 years, married for two, and met as co-workers at the most iconic department store in New York City. We...

The first full episode of Actually Not Dumb is here, and we are not starting slow. I called in two of my closest girls, Keely and Kelly, two smart, beautiful, single women navigating dating in New York City. I am very much out of the dating game, but somehow between their situationships and my married life, we always have something to talk about. Turns out womanhood is the great equalizer. We sat...
