The show opens with actress Melissa Roxburgh discussing her new NBC series "The Hunting Party," where she plays Rebecca Henderson, an ex-FBI profiler tracking escaped serial killers.

Comedy legend George Lopez and actress Selenis Leyva follow, reflecting on the evolution of "Lopez vs. Lopez" and the real-life father-daughter reconciliation that inspired the show.

James and Charlize Hatchet discuss their reality show "Somebody's Son" on the OWN network, where Charlize serves as her son's "wing woman" in his search for love.

Newsmax CEO Chris Ruddy delivers a hard-hitting interview about the state of media, his company's planned IPO, and his long friendship with President Trump. Ruddy discusses Newsmax's growing ratings, criticizes mainstream media bias, and explains how his network provides alternative news coverage. He shares insights into his daily routine as CEO and his philosophy that true wisdom comes from recognizing the limits of one's own knowledge. Running legend Bart Yasso, author of "100 Runs of a Lifetime" published by National Geographic, shares his 48-year journey in the sport and the challenging process of selecting which runs made his book from over 200 possibilities. The episode concludes with acclaimed actor Eric Roberts discussing his role in the film "Trust in Love," available on VOD August 13th.
