    Erich Bergen Returns to the 90s for “Love Story: JFK Jr. & Carolyn Bessette”
    Mar 10 2026
    When Erich Bergen, who played Blake Moran for six seasons on “Madam Secretary” was asked to audition for the role of John F. Kennedy Jr. in “Love Story” (new episodes air Thursdays at 9pm ET/PT on FX, streaming the next day on Hulu) he decided to pass. Luckily he was cast as Anthony Radziwill, best friend and cousin to JFK Jr. Erich talks with me about the challenges of playing a real-life character; growing up in NYC in the 1990s during the height of the city’s obsession with Carolyn and John-John; the magic of shooting on-location in the same places the power couple existed in, and how he prepares for eight-shows-a-week as a song-and-dance man on Broadway.

    Traitors! Betrayals! Murders and Housewives! Monet X Change Spills The Tea
    Feb 24 2026
    When Monét X Change was murdered on The Traitors (new episodes stream Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT on Peacock), my strategy-game obsession lost more than just a savvy player. It lost someone who was hilarious, fashion-forward, and fabulous to boot. Monét sits down with me in person to talk about how he was cast on The Traitors, why vibes—not just “evidence”—matter when deciding who’s a Traitor or a Faithful, and his deep love of strategy games. He also opens up about being betrayed by a certain Potomac Housewife and reflects on how his drag has evolved so successfully over the past decade. 00:00 Melissa’s Traitors Obsession 01:38 How Monét Got Cast on The Traitors 03:04 Being Devastated Not Becoming a Traitor 05:05 How Strict Production Rules Really Are 06:10 Strategy vs Vibes Inside the Castle 07:55 What You Actually See of the Castle 09:14 Meeting Housewives & Celebrities 11:00 Strategy Falling Apart Immediately 13:20 Real Red Flags vs Random Theories 15:06 Calling Out a Traitor — Too Soon 16:41 Discovering Who the Traitors Were 17:22 Reaction: “I Was Gagged” 18:20 Reality TV Strategy Mistakes 20:52 Talking in Code & Chess Moves 22:24 Traitors Fashion & Outfits 23:22 No Glam Teams Allowed 26:03 Getting Ready in Drag at 6 AM 27:14 How Drag Started 29:47 Quitting Her Job to Follow Passion 30:50 Career Explosion After Drag Race 31:22 Traitors All-Stars Dreams 31:45 Final Thoughts This is another Hurrdat Media Production.
