Emmy-winning actor Kristen Johnston joins Kevin Fallon on Obsessed to look back on her iconic career, from Third Rock from the Sun and Austin Powers to Mom and her unforgettable role as Lexi Featherston on Sex and the City. Johnston opens up about becoming a viral meme thanks to the legendary “New York City is over” scene, the wild reality of ’90s fame, her friendship with stars including Sarah Jessica Parker and Andy Cohen, and the unaired Absolutely Fabulous pilot she made with Kathryn Hahn. She also gets candid about addiction, sobriety, her memoir Guts, how recovery changed her comedy, and why her new Netflix sitcom Leanne is proof audiences are ready for funny, relatable stories about women and life after 50.
