From Akeelah and the Bee to True Jackson, VP to Scream Queens to Nope — I could literally go on alllll day — my girl has the credentials honey! Singer, actress, podcaster, Broadway star, talk show host, game show host, she's a pure talent. And she's also just a very entertaining, very funny person, naturally. After watching videos of her interviews, how could you not wanna be her best friend?
