A Spoonful of Paolo: Recent Episodes
Paolo Presta
An award-winning online talk show. Paolo Presta was discovered by Oprah Winfrey and brings his passion for talk shows and dreaming BIG to you in his celebrity interviews.
On July 13, 2024 the world lost an icon… Richard Simmons. Richard brought so much joy and love to his fans. He was America’s fitness guru who made us all feel seen and loved. I know this firsthand because Richard was a guest on A Spoonful Of Paolo on June 20th 2013. It was a big moment for our show because this was our 50th episode. A dear friend of mine made this interview possible and I am eternally grateful. I couldn’t believe we were going to tape my chat with Richard Simmons at his iconic studio, Slimmons in Beverly Hills. Not only that, but I was able to take his class right before the interview, and it was one of my favorite workout experiences ever. I can’t tell you how much fun this was seeing so many people working out led by Richard himself. There was a moment where Richard called me to the middle of the floor and we were surrounded by his students dancing and cheering us on. After class, we started the interview and what I loved about Richard was his openness with his feelings. I could tell he loved the interview because we had a real connection. I was really proud of this episode. It’s moments like this that I am so glad I didn’t give up on my dreams. This day, this experience, this episode will never be forgotten. I grew up watching Richard Simmons and seeing him be his authentic self was the best gift he gave me and everyone else who loved him. RIP Richard and keep spreading your joy and love with everyone else in heaven. Say hi to my heavenly mom and I love you both. 🥄🥄🥄❤❤❤ #aspoonfulofpaolo #richardsimmons

Ending season 13 of A Spoonful of Paolo with the super-talented Mandy Moore reminds me that dreams do come true when you do the work and never give up. For the past 25 years, Mandy Moore has been a perfect example of that. I can't tell you what an honor and privilege it was to speak with her. A huge part of my life was spent listening to Mandy’s music, watching her movies & being mesmerized by her brilliant performance on the Emmy award-winning show This Is Us. Mandy and her two This Is Us co-stars, Sterling K. Brown and Chris Sullivan have a new fantastic podcast called That Was Us where they go back and revisit each episode of the iconic series. I truly loved this conversation with Mandy. We laughed, we cried, and I gave her a VERY special surprise that left her speechless. It was a first for our show and a first for Mandy Moore! I hope you all love this episode and may you never stop dreaming BIG!

The last time I talked with Valerie Bertinelli was 2 years ago, which was a pretty dark time in both of our lives. I can't tell you how JOYOUS it was to reunite in person and see just how much we both have been able to heal since then (after putting in lots of hard work, of course). We had such a meaningful and fun conversation about her new cookbook Indulge, how she deals with grief, and how Valerie got to a place where she truly loves herself. I can’t tell you how much I loved this episode and I know you will too. Oh and I promise you that after this interview, you’ll want to order her fantastic cookbook Indulge. I can’t stop making recipes from it and, let me tell you, her dishes are easy & delicious! 😋🥄❤️

Here it is, folks - our 200th episode of A Spoonful Of Paolo with the one and only Gayle King! I met Gayle for the first time 20 years ago when Oprah made my wildest dream come true. It was an honor and privilege to interview Gayle decades later at the CBS Mornings studio in Times Square - a true full circle moment. Gayle showed up to play and this special episode is filled with lots of fun, heartfelt and surprising moments. Patrick and I thank you for being a part of this amazing Spoonful journey and I hope my interview with Gayle inspires you to always dream BIG! 🥄🥄🥄

TLC's My Big Fat Fabulous Life starts it's 11th season today, and it's the first without Whitney's beloved mom Babs.

The new season of her hit show is going to be full of raw tears and healing, and so was this conversation. It is an honor to kick off A Spoonful Of Paolo season 13 with my friend Whitney, and I hope you enjoy our chat as much as I did!

I've watched Kathie Lee Gifford since "Live with Regis & Kathie Lee" - and I was late to the party... She's been entertaining people since she was 10 years old! I had so much fun talking to her about her tenacious personality that made all her wildest dreams come true (and got her kicked out of Sunday school). The story of how she fought for what she deserved during the launch of "Live" is absolutely inspiring. I hope you enjoy our chat and she reminds you to have faith, dream big, and not to sell your joy! 🥄🥄🥄

Today I am beyond honored to talk with a true movie STAR: the one and only Geena Davis! In her new memoir "Dying of Politeness", Geena tells the story of how being polite almost killed her, and the rocky road to becoming a badass in Hollywood (while remaining one of the kindest people you will ever meet). We can all learn a lot from her journey and I can not recommend her book strongly enough. I don't know how, in less than 20 minutes, we were able to chat about everything from her iconic films to her unfortunate experience with Bill Murray to Geena Davis drag queens to how she is quite literally changing the world, but we DID. Thanks for listening and I truly hope you enjoy this episode much as I did!

The world knows her as Sporty Spice, Mel C or Melanie C. She is one fifth of one of the most successful bands of ALL TIME and a solo star in her own right. I have dreamed of interviewing a Spice Girl for over 10 years, and today that dream finally comes true. Melanie has a gorgeous new memoir out called "The Sporty One: My Life As A Spice Girl", and it is a stunning recollection of the highest highs and lowest lows of her life and career. She shares her intense struggles with anxiety, depression and eating disorders, and takes us along on her journey of healing. She says she is "rebranding vulnerability as a super power", and I have no doubt that she will help countless readers and fans find healing in their own lives.

The recent loss of Olivia Newton-John shook the world and brought a tidal wave of grief and appreciation for this talented and beloved superstar. Back in 2017, I was fortunate enough to have her come into my home studio for a very special interview. I just can't describe what it feels like to have Olivia Newton-John walk into your house! She was one of the kindest, most genuine people I have ever met. No stranger to grief and loss in her own life, Olivia and I talked about her album for those experiencing grief called 'Liv On' with bandmates Amy Sky and Beth Nielsen Chapman. We are also, of course, chatted about 'Grease', her iconic career, played a super fun game and got a mini performance at the end. Every moment of that day was a dream come true. Rest well, sweet Olivia. As you soar with the angels, we hope you feel the outpouring of love and gratitude for your phenomenal spirit and iconic art. I, along with countless others, honestly love you.

Joy Reid picked a heck of a time to have a front row seat to history and report the news. I can't even explain how excited I was that she found the time to sit down with me while hosting her nightly show "The ReidOut" on MSNBC and being a part of the network's ALL STAR panel recapping the January 6th Hearings. She has had a remarkable life, and I loved talking to her about her complicated path to living her dream.

My interview with Valerie Bertinelli was an interview I will never forget and will always hold a special place in my heart. Her new memoir “Enough Already: Learning to Love the Way I Am Today” is so beautiful, vulnerable and raw. Our conversation about the painful loss of Eddie Van Halen helped me remember that even though my mom isn’t physically here, her spirit and love is with me always. Valerie and I had such a heart connection in this interview and I truly hope it inspires you to heal and love yourself no matter what you are struggling with. This episode is dedicated to the memory of my beautiful mother.

"Blending Christmas" premieres this Sunday (12/12) and I am talking to two of the stars of the movie - Aaron O'Connell and Peter Brady himself, Christopher Knight.

I love daytime television, I love "The View", and I LOVE Debbie Matenopoulos! I honestly could have talked to her for three hours so it took all my self control to keep this interview under 30 minutes. We had so much fun talking about her early days at MTV (anyone remember "The Grind"?!), her magical journey of getting hired at "The View" and her fantastic skin care line Ikaria. Being the kids of immigrants, Debbie and I have so much in common and I loved talking with her about her family and the American dream. Stick around until the end for a very special and emotional surprise!

10 years ago today we released our very first “A Spoonful Of Paolo” episode. One day, I came home and asked Patrick to help me bring this long awaited dream to life. We’d never thought in a million years we’d be here 10 years later having interviewed icons, legends and super-talented guests who’s stories have inspired us all to dream big. In honor of that, we are looking back and made a fun vlog sharing some personal experiences, both good AND bad over the last 10 years. Enjoy and thank you all for your love and support! 🥄🥄🥄

We could all use some laughs right now, so I have some good news. "The Other Two" is back for season 2 on HBO Max! Today I'm talking to Broadway veteran Heléne Yorke who is absolutely hilarious in her role as Brooke. I can't even tell you how much I loved talking to her about how she chased her dreams to places she never could have imagined. She also shares the amazing advice she got from co-star Molly Shannon, and what it's like working with the comedy legend. Oh, did I mention Heléne is about to get married? Of COURSE, I had to get her a wedding gift! Enjoy!

Joanna Kerns will always be one of my all time favorite TV moms! I was a huge fan of the classic sitcom "Growing Pains" and I was so thrilled to get the chance to speak with her about the show and her chemistry with the late, great Alan Thicke.

Elisa Donovan won our 90's hearts in classics like "Clueless", "Sabrina the Teenage Witch" and "Beverly Hills 90210". Now she has released a beautiful new memoir detailing her journey from heartbreak to healing after everything in her life seemed to be falling apart. This is truly one of the most personal, touching conversations I have ever had in an interview. The insights she has gained after caring for her sick father has been unbelievably helpful to me as I go through a similar journey with my mom. I am so grateful to Elisa for having the courage to be so open and raw and creating a space for transforming pain. I hope you will pick up a copy of "Wake Me When You Leave". Reading it was the best decision I have made all year.

Last month, I was honored to be the keynote speaker for my friend Sally Lou Loveman's Love Wins House Party. It was a virtual event celebrating all of the good things that came out of a really difficult year. Sally Lou was the audience producer for The Oprah Winfrey Show, and one of the most dynamic and memorable people I encountered when I went to tapings. In my keynote, I share everything from my experience as a wildest dreams guest on The Oprah Show to coming out to my Italian Catholic family to how I started my very own talk show. I hope you will come away from this feeling inspired to dream BIG and motivated to let love win in your life every single day. ❤️
