TIFFANI THIESSEN on Fame in the ’90s, The Hardest Rejection & Reinvention

This week, Tommy is joined by actress Tiffani Thiessen, who you know and love as Kelly Kapowski on Saved by the Bell and Valerie Malone on Beverly Hills, 90210. Now, she’s channeling her inner witch in Coven Academy. In this episode, Tiffani opens up about what she wishes she’d known early in her career, the moment she realized Saved by the Bell was becoming a massive hit, and why she was drawn to playing Valerie after years as Kelly. She reflects on growing up as a working actress, the role she didn’t get that broke her heart, and how she’s learned to handle rejection. She also shares how Coven Academy challenged her, whether she’d want her kids to become actors, how she turned her love of cooking into a business, how fame has changed since the ’90s, why you should always eat the bread, and so much more. And don’t miss Tiffani's mini rapid-fire “Hot Takes & Hangouts” interview, our part 2 to this conversation where she’s answering burning fan questions, dropping Thursday, October 1!
