Our Favorite Celebrity-Hosted Podcasts of 2022
1. Funny Cuz It’s True with Elyse Myers
I love Elyse Myers. If you don’t yet follow her on all the socials, you are missing out on some serious hilarity!
In case you don’t know Elyse, she first went viral on TikTok after telling the story of how she got stuck buying 100 tacos on a first date. Since then, it’s been a wild and crazy ride. With one hilarious tale or happening after another!
Each week on Funny Cuz It’s True with Elyse Myers, Elyse sits down with her favorite creators, friends and comedians to find the stories that have stuck with them and changed their lives in small ways. Not so funny moments that have become funny over time. Her guests share how they handled these situations and learned to laugh about them years later.
What fellow fans are saying…
“I love that she made it her own. I’ve loved Elyse since her viral video about tacos, but this podcast is next level amazing. She’s normal and cool and relatable.”
“Most relatable content- love it! Elyse is unbelievably talented. She has the skill to be transparent and relatable while also sharing entertaining and uplifting stories. She somehow finds the good every awkward moment and it feels like listening to a friend”
2. Off Menu
Looking for a laugh? Look no further than Off Menu! This podcast is always a treat! Hosted by comedians Ed Gamble and James Acaster, each episode sees a special guest visiting Ed and James’ magical restaurant. The guests get to choose their favorite starter, main course, side dish, dessert, and drink.
A simple premise, but it packs a seriously hilarious punch! All the interviews are of the highest caliber, featuring an impressive array of guests. Each episode is loaded with enjoyable small talk and thought-provoking discussion! And with six seasons, there’s plenty to feast upon! A fun-filled funny podcast perfect for the holidays!
What fellow fans are saying…
“Michelin starred podcast! I can’t recommend this pod highly enough. Every episode has me laughing out loud, which is fine when I’m listening with other people but looks a bit weird when I’m on my own, walking around town with earbuds in, especially when they’re hidden under a hat! The first episode I listened to was Martin Freeman and I’ve been hooked since then. I’ve gone back to episode 1 so I don’t miss anything. You owe it to yourself to get this, download every episode, share, rate (5 stars of course) and enjoy.”
“This surely cannot get any better. The best podcast by a mile. Just when I thought it couldn’t get any better, Paul Choudry comes on and he, Ed & James deliver 1:15 of the best comedy I’ve ever heard. What a format. It will never ever get old. Genius.”
3. Inside of You with Michael Rosenbaum
Michael Rosenbaum (Lex Luther from Smallville for those in the know) has graced our screens for the last two decades, but perhaps his greatest achievement is his podcast, Inside of You with Michael Rosenbaum.
During his candid conversations with industry bigwigs, it’s evident that they’re just like you and me. They have anxieties. They face battles in their mental health. They have the same insecurities and flaws that we all deal with every day. By having these open and honest conversations, where both Michael and his guests share their personal experiences of hardship, it offers a great source of solace to those who are facing similar difficulties.
For all these reasons, and so many more, this podcast, especially in these strange times we are facing, is a real gem.
What fellow fans are saying…
“Sincere and down to earth. I am loving this podcast so far. Only listened to a few episodes and look forward to catching up with old ones. I like the down to earth overall tone and love Michael’s sincerity.”
“Best podcast available!! Inside of You is hands down my favorite podcast to listen to. Michael Rosenbaum not only welcomes diverse and appealing guests onto his show, but he meets each guest with a genuine empathy and sincere intellectual curiosity that drives the conversations forward. Michael has an innate ability to create a safe and comfortable space for his guests to open up about personal conflicts they face which can be difficult for anyone, let alone celebrities where admitting to anxiety or depression can seem taboo. Hearing how his guests not only face the same challenges and personal difficulties that all people do, but doing it in a positive and productive way must be as therapeutic for his guests as it is for us as listeners. Definitely a show you’ll want to listen to every episode of.”
4. Films To Be Buried With with Brett Goldstein
For all the Ted Lasso fans, you can get your fill of the hilarious Brett Goldstein when you check out his podcast, Films To Be Buried With with Brett Goldstein.
We are born. We die. In between we watch a lot of films. And some of these films shape the people we are. This is a podcast about those films. (And a bit about death.)
Join comedian, actor, writer and swimmer Brett Goldstein and an extra special weekly guest as they go all the way into life and death by way of movies, to ultimately pick their Films To Be Buried With!
What fellow fans are saying…
“Great podcast!Thanks for this podcast Brett! I started listening about 2 months ago and have been binge listening to only this podcast ever since. Normally I skip episodes of things where I don’t know the guest, but I’ve been introduced to some great new comics and love hearing what they’ve got to say.
Brett’s genuine curiosity and friendly interview style are a delight to hear, and I’m so glad I started listening!”
“Just Stunning! You’d think by now the format would wear thin but Brett’s enthusiasm and genuinely terrific guests with great chat & great film recommends make it a podcast favourite. Special shoutout to the live Phil Dunster episode which shows the format is still as dynamic as ever. Keep it up.”

“My high school heart is happy! As someone who owns and still watches all 4 seasons on DVD, had watch parties with my best friends every week, and still quote the show to this day; I am beyond enjoying rewatching with you two! Reunion show would be amazing!”
“Amazing! The 16 year old me who was (and still is) OBSESSED with the OC is just screaming inside. I recently rewatched the entire series and decided to follow you guys on IG where I saw Melinda talking about this podcast and I was so excited! I just wanted to talk about the OC with someone and this is giving me my fix. Y’all’s episodes are getting better and better. And I love the tea.”
