Yvonne Orji on ‘Bamboozled by Jesus: How God Tricked Me into the Life of My Dreams’
Larry is joined by actress, comedienne, and author Yvonne Orji to talk about her memoir, ‘Bamboozled by Jesus: How God Tricked Me into the Life of My Dreams,’ which was recently released in paperback. They begin their conversation by reminiscing about their time together working in television. Next, Yvonne shares how she maintained her devout Christian faith within the chaotic world of show business, and the inspiration that drove her to write her book (19:09). She then discusses her experiences growing up as a Nigerian-born immigrant, the support she received from her father, and the challenges she faced during the pandemic (43:31). They end the pod with Yvonne’s best advice from the book and some life lessons from Larry on making distinctions rather than definitions when applying creativity to your craft (55:17).
