Stay in the White House or Binge HGTV? (with Alyssa Mastromonaco)

When Alyssa Mastromonaco was Deputy Chief of Staff in the Obama Administration, there was a point in time when she was averaging two hours of sleep per night. After a doctor’s visit confirmed she was exceedingly sleep deprived, she decided it was time to leave the White House after working for President Obama for nearly 10 years. Sam asks Alyssa what it was like to go from that high-stakes environment to watching HGTV all day, what made her decide that she’s never wearing Spanx again, and how she got deep into the world of jam making.    Follow Alyssa Mastromonaco @AlyssaMastro44 on Twitter and @mastro175 on Instagram.   Keep up with Samantha Bee @realsambee on Instagram and Twitter.
