Fortune Feimster PT 1: Chelsea Handler to Netflix with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Alanis Morissette!

Описание: FULL TITLE: Fortune Feimster PT 1: From Chelsea Handler to Netflix with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Ironic with Alanis Morissette and Oh My That J's in MY Cup!

It's part one with Netflix's Fortune Feimster so get ready to laugh, cry, and clutch your coffee cups because the iconic comic joins us in the Beverly Hills boutique for a hilariously heartfelt time. From sipping “Armenian cocaine” (ahem, coffee) to unpacking childhood traumas, closet contents, and even literal chandeliers, this is a warm hug wrapped in flannel and served with a side of sass.

We kick things off with a classic mix-up: Fortune calls her coffee “Turkish,” and Pol’s Armenian soul is (jokingly) scandalized. That leads us into a conversation about identity, culture, and the funny politics of naming things—like calling Turkey “Former Armenia.” You’ll laugh, you’ll learn, you’ll wonder why Google hasn’t updated its maps yet.

Fortune shares how she’s been making us laugh since 2005—nearly 20 years of comedy gold. She dives into her early influences, growing up in North Carolina as a self-proclaimed tomboy in a world of debutante balls, parasols, and frilly dresses. With a girly-girl mom and two older brothers, Fortune navigated expectations while finding her voice—eventually turning those awkward moments into stand-up magic. Spoiler: her childhood closet was not runway ready.

We trace her comedy roots from a $50 gig at a lesbian bar (by the stripper pole, naturally) to her breakout on Last Comic Standing and four-year writing stint on *Chelsea Lately*. Her Netflix specials followed, catapulting her from comedy clubs to global fame—and yes, the stripper pole is long behind her.

As the episode unfolds, we peel back even more layers of Fortune’s journey. We learn that her birth name is Emily, but “Fortune”—her great-grandmother’s maiden name—was her grandmother’s gift and the name that truly resonated with her. The name change becomes a powerful tribute to the woman who gave her unconditional love and confidence.

Then things get even more *undressed*. Pol’ performs a signature cup reading for Fortune and delivers a spiritually spooky revelation: a small antique chandelier, packed away in her garage, is the key to finally grounding herself in her new home. Turns out, the chandelier once belonged to her beloved grandmother—proof that sometimes, emotional light fixtures hold the answers.

We wrap with reflections on unexpected life pivots, family reconciliation, and even a surprise moment where Fortune sings “Ironic” live on stage with none other than Alanis Morissette. (Yes, really.) From red carpets with Anna Nicole Smith to voicing cartoon characters and starring in hit series, Fortune’s done it all—on her own terms and with a heart full of humor.

This is *Fortune Feimster*, fully undressed: the stand-up star, the Southern girl with a flannel soul, and the chandelier keeper ready to shine.
