On July 13, 2024 the world lost an icon… Richard Simmons. Richard brought so much joy and love to his fans. He was America’s fitness guru who made us all feel seen and loved. I know this firsthand because Richard was a guest on A Spoonful Of Paolo on June 20th 2013. It was a big moment for our show because this was our 50th episode.

Ending season 13 of A Spoonful of Paolo with the super-talented Mandy Moore reminds me that dreams do come true when you do the work and never give up.

The last time I talked with Valerie Bertinelli was 2 years ago, which was a pretty dark time in both of our lives. I can't tell you how JOYOUS it was to reunite in person and see just how much we both have been able to heal since then (after putting in lots of hard work, of course). We had such a meaningful and fun conversation about her new cookbook Indulge, how she deals with gri

Here it is, folks - our 200th episode of A Spoonful Of Paolo with the one and only Gayle King! I met Gayle for the first time 20 years ago when Oprah made my wildest dream come true.
