Amanda Payton

Daughter of a Black, Christian father and White, Jewish mother; the early death of her father and the emotional and spiritual struggles that ensued; how she and her mother adapted to his death; her newfound relationship with God; and she puts me on the hot seat!

 

Amanda Payton (Trial & Error, The Big Bang Theory, Workaholics, Modern Family) joins the show, and Nicholas cuts right to the chase, digging deeper into Amanda's Splenda addiction, her love of nut butters, and their shared affinity for Spanish-speaking late night hosts who dress as a clown (Noches con Platanito!).  Amanda is generous and open about her life, telling an extraordinary story about the history of her parents' relationship (a Black, Christian father & a White, Jewish mother), her emotional and spiritual struggles regarding her fathers' passing, and her newfound relationship with God.  She even finds a way to put Nicholas on the hot seat for a minute!  #Savvy 

 

Something Amanda helped me clarify: The term "gaslighting". 

Something I needed to Google: What's the difference between white and dark chocolate? (Answer: There's no cocoa powder in white chocolate!!)
