	Description:		Good morning, Baltimore babies. We are delighted to be joined by actress, singer, and Tony-winner Marissa Jaret Winokur on this week’s show. You Might Know Her From American Beauty, What We Do in the Shadows, Celebrity Big Brother, Fever Pitch, Stacked, Dancing with the Stars, Retired at 35, and Hairspray on Broadway. We had a total romp with Marissa Jaret Win-oh-kurr chatting about her historic win on the inaugural season of American Celebrity Big Brother, her career-defining performance as Tracy Turbnlad, cutting her teeth as Jan in Grease in the ‘90s revival and befriending now-best friends Adrian Zmed and Lucy Lawless, and her decision to expand her career as a host and personality. We also got into her iconic scene in American Beauty (“You are so busted”), getting to don animal prints and a New York accent as Charmaine in What We Do in the Shadows, and why we believe she should play Fanny Brice in Funny Girl. This one was just, timeless to us!
