from Dinner’s on Me with Jesse Tyler Ferguson · host Sony Music Entertainment
‘The Rookie’ star Jenna Dewan joins the show. Over pizza bianca and gooey garlic bread, we bond over the grief of losing beloved pets — I recently lost my dog Leaf, who Justin and I got when we first started dating. Then, of course, we gotta get to Jenna’s career. She tells me about the pressure to pick a lane – dancing or acting – after her breakout role in the film ‘Step Up.’ We also get into how she cut her teeth dancing alongside Janet Jackson and why she considers ‘The Rookie’ the best job she’s ever had.
