Hey Spirit! with Theresa Caputo

General Hospital Snark Podcast

He grew up watching General Hospital with his mom. Now he's sitting down with us on the Snarkcast.

Paolo Presta, creator and host of the 7x Telly Award-winning, Webby-nominated talk show A Spoonful of Paolo, joins Mama Snark and Snark Jr. for a conversation that is equal parts inspiring and genuinely fun. Paolo's story is one for the books: a Chicago kid from a big Italian family who wrote letters to Oprah until she showed up at his dad's grocery store and changed his life forever. He went on to work behind the scenes at The Ellen DeGeneres Show and The Talk, then appearing on General Hospital as a multi-episode character, before launching his own celebrity interview show, now in its 15th season. / @aspoonfulofpaolo

But don't let the showbiz origin story fool you -- this man is a GENUINE GH fan. We go into the Brook Lynn and Chase foster storyline, the Who Shot Drew mystery, and his love for the legendary Jane Elliot and the incomparable Laura Wright. Plus, Paolo shares what it meant to him to interview Anthony Geary, the one, the only, Luke Spencer, for A Spoonful of Paolo.

We also talk about the art of the celebrity interview and what it felt like to finally sit across from Oprah herself -- as the interviewer.

Please enjoy meeting this delightful man!
