Saddle up! It’s the marvelous Tawny Newsome (Bajillion Dollar Properties), an amazing improviser and actor who might be just as at home in a rodeo competition or in a Pixies lip-synching contest. Oh, and Mandy Patinkin… LOOK OUT!

We know what you’re thinking- “Did Janet start a new All Dogs All the Time podcast?

And watch out, Cyndi Lauper! You’ve got competition!
