First things first, The Mommy Show is now available internationally! If you need to get caught up, watch Taye Diggs touch my toilet, Rachel Dratch collapse my stroller, and Jackie Martling put together my breast pump.
Ok— everyone on the same page now? YAY!!!
This week, I interview Romilly Newman. I know what you’re thinking, “Who the hell is Romilly Newman? I thought this was a show about interviewing celebrities??!!”
I thought the same thing.
But then I checked my diva attitude at the door, because the girl is a 15-year-old gourmet chef and the youngest contestant ever on Chopped and if any of us had that kind of credentials at fifteen, please raise your hand now.
I thought so. That shit is IMPRESSIVE.
Also, when all was said and done, Romilly’s episode became one of my favorites. It’s the first episode where I seem like I am running the show as opposed to letting the celebrity do all the work. Turns out I can be quick witted and off-the-cuff when I am not intimidated by my guest.
Lesson learned.
From now on, I will just imagine all my guests are 15-year-old girls.
In this episode, Romilly cooks, does my dishes and babysits my kids. She was a great sport and was even able to quickly change plans from cooking gourmet toddler snacks to pureeing baby food, when Mazzy suddenly fell asleep right before the cooking segment.

To help me promote The Mommy Show, I asked a bunch of my blogger friends to write a post about which celebrity they would most like to have on their couch. (I would have gone with Ryan Gosling or John Hamm myself, but I guess most of my friends don’t think with their vaginas.)
Here’s who everyone chose:
Ellen and Erin from “Sisterhood of the Sensible Moms” take a shower while Martha Stewart repaints their front door.
Robin from “Hollow Tree Ventures” plays Candy Crush while Oprah sits on her cat.
Lydia from “Rants from Mommyland” discusses rage issues with The Incredible Hulk.
Janel from “Girls, the Care and Maintenance Of” pets Amy Poehler’s hair while pretending to be her new best friend.
Susan from “Divine Secrets of the Domestic Diva” vacuums with Jimmy Fallon.
Nicole from “Ninja Mom” entertains Matt Damon with the Rainbow Loom.
Kim from “Let Me Start by Saying” challenges Eminem to rap about “SpongeBob”.
Anna from “My Life and Kids” makes Tori Spelling dig through her couch cushions for snacks.
Meredith from “The Mom of the Year” drinks wine while Mindy Kaling reads aloud from her book.
Alicia from “Naps Happen” takes a nap with Morty and Lee from the Swiffer commercials.
Tara from “You Know it Happens at Your House Too” yells at Johnny Depp for using too much laundry detergent.
Stepanie from “Binkies & Briefcases” dumpster dives with Kristin Bell.
Rebecca from “Frugalista Blog” drinks tea with Daniel Craig while asking him questions about full frontal nudity.
Paige Kellerman makes Gwyneth Paltrow rearrange her furniture.
Andrea from “The Underachieving Domestic Goddess” does Ouzo shots with Tina Fey.
Kathy from “Kissing the Frog” makes Phineas and Ferb babysit.
Courtney from Our Small Moments relaxes while the Jolie-Pitts did all the talking.
Kelley from “Kelley’s Break Room” won’t let Will Farrell in unless he plays the cowbell.
Thank you to everyone for being so supportive and helping me promote the show!
Now, who knows Neil Patrick Harris so we can talk him into coming over? I think he’d be the perfect person to help me reorganize my refrigerator.
first time commenting, but confirmed that the video plays from japan! so excited to get to watch now!
It plays from Belgium (Europe!)
You and your kids are so adorable!
Really cute, now I can catch up on previous episodes. Yea, for getting internationally.
Ps. I would have Ryan Gosling on my couch too, gotta support Canadian actors 😉
Yeah! I get to watch too now. Congratulations to your lovely show from Germany. I loved Harlow’s positive reaction. She looked skeptical in the beginning, but then really grabbed that spoon.
So glad I can watch now…is it bad I want to watch at work?
PS – I think you need some rock star guests..starting with Adam Levine!
Plays in Canada. Loved it!
That’s pretty stinking adorable. And I would TOTALLY eat that squash stuff. Even pureed.
So I’ve watched all the episodes! Love them all, can’t wait for more. I would like to see Neil Patrick Harris organize your fridge too.
I would die if you got Neil Patrick Harris on the show. Please ask him to fly me up there so I can join. I can lick my elbow, other than that, I’m not really known for anything… I’m not really known for licking my elbow either… I can just do it and people think it’s impossible.
So happy this is now in Canada!! Just got caught up and almost died laughing at the stare down between Harlow and Idina Menzel!! The show is awesome!! Great work 🙂
i am totally making that recipe for my kid…
oh, and it’s playing in canada!
OMG… I can finally watch the shows!!!!! They are hilarious!!!!!
There are soooo many celebrities to choose from, but I would probably have George W Bush over! He is hilarious and I would most definitely ask him to read a book to my little one! 😉
Love it!! Yay for Canadian access! This one was good, but I laughed my ass off at Taye Diggs…he looked like he didn’t know whether to laugh or run away screaming at several points…
Greetings from Spain, I left my sick daughter with Dora this morning to watch ALL your episodes. Laughed out loud a few times and is it ok to be starstruck by Mazzy and Harlow instead of your celebrity guests?
That was quite awesome. I also just watched the Jim Gaffigan episode and it was hysterical. Loved his book. Having NPH over would be fabulous- hope that works out!
Plays in Australia! Nice work.
Check out the blog Raising My Rainbow. First, because it’s an amazing blog. Second, she and her family are friends with NPH and his partner and their kids. No, I’m not kidding. NPH wrote the forward to her book that was just published a few weeks ago.
Receiving loud and clear in Scotland! First time I’ve watched – loved it! My baby – who is now 19 – went through a phase of ‘white foods only’ at the age of 2-3. Challenging – consisted of mashed potatoes, pasta with butter, banana and maybe some green grapes. He’s now 5ft9 and as healthy as can be! Don’t panic – it’s a phase!
SPOILER ALERT: I can’t believe she’s never babysat before but her parents let her use a knife (a really good one, I suspect).
So cute! My kids love squash. Harlow’s facial expression is priceless. (also I just tried to lick my own elbow thanks to Ashlee’s comment above) (did not succeed)
Awesome! Can’t wait until Mazzy gets her knife. Japanese steel like a Shun? Or Japanese ceramic like a Kyocera? Or a German steel like a Wustof? Hmmm that should be great episode- Shopping for cutlery with Mazzy.
Yay! Loved watching all the shows – they’re hilarious!! From a New Zealander living in Australia
Just finished. And wanted more.
Besos from Perú,
Ana
P.S. Agree with someone’s comment above, I was a little starstruck with Mazzy and Harlow… actually all of you.
P.P.S. Yes to NPH.
OK, I finally got a chance to watch your shows for the first time since they became available in Canada. Oh my, you are a brilliant woman! Funny, entertaining and you manage to get the guests to do housework and watch the kids for you! I laughed so much watching these and can’t wait for more. Thank you!
I am so late to tune, but love this! She is so cute, and you, my friend, are beyond adorable in those pants 🙂 Fun to watch and thanks for letting all of us hang out in the coattails of your fame for a bit with our own fav celebs. xo, Ilana!
