205 - Chance Made Us Sisters, Love Made Us Friends with Maulik Pancholy

Ask Ronna

Now wait a minute. We've been trying to get this guy on the show for, literally, years. He's a very dear friend of many of us on the Ask Ronna staff, and now he's finally here! It's Barack Obama's best friend (we assume) Maulik Pancholy!

You know Maulik from TV shows like 30 ROCK, WHITNEY, PHINEAS AND FERB, and a million others, but he's also a very accomplished author! His books THE BEST AT IT and NIKHIL OUT LOUD are out now. And, if that wasn't enough, in 2014 he was named to President Obama's Advisory Commission on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders and has since helped create the anti-bullying non-profit ACT TO CHANGE.

Maulik joins us to give advice on a throuple dilemma and dealing with an ex who's moved on to date a major Hollywood nepo baby.
