Show Notes

This week Ina welcomes the one and only Nathan Lane to her apartment in NYC for a bourbon sour and hilarious conversation. They talk about his critically acclaimed run in Death of a Salesman on Broadway, their shared love of funny dog videos, and Nathan’s experience working with comedy greats like Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Mel Brooks.

Beloved hostess Ina Garten welcomes listeners into her New York City apartment for Happy Hour with Ina Garten. Every Wednesday, she sits down with people she’d like to meet from the worlds of culture, food, art, sports, and entertainment for the kinds of conversations you would love to overhear at a great dinner party. Warm, funny, personal, and often unexpected, Happy Hour mixes in-depth conversation with stories, recipes, and, of course, cocktails. Pull up a chair, pour yourself a drink, and join the conversation.
