Tig’s guest is her co-star on “Star Trek: Discovery”: actor and singer Anthony Rapp. Anthony is known for his performance in the classic comedy “Dazed & Confused” and originating the role of Mark Cohen in the award-winning rock opera, “Rent.” Tig and Anthony swap stories about preparing to become parents and offer fun suggestions to a mom trying to come up with ideas for her kid’s birthday party goody bags. They also advise a listener about how to use comedy to come out of the closet and help a fan embrace her inner “crazy cat lady.”
