Jennifer Tilly is an actor who's dazzled in dozens of films, including her Oscar-nominated turn in Bullets Over Broadway. She's also voiced characters in everything from the Chucky franchise to Family Guy. But the most difficult thing she's ever done is appearing as herself on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. She'll explain why, and tell us all about her championship poker skills.

Adam Savage is best known as one of the hosts of Mythbusters. Along with his co-host Jamie Hyneman, Adam tested hundreds of myths to determine their plausibility. He'll tell us about some of his favorite experiments and why the show was such an intense production. Catch Adam now on Tested.com.


Jennifer - The Beatles

Adam - Raymond Chandler

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.

But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.

We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.

Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
