However, never fear John will continue to have specials and those will now be announced in time for you to write down your own questions for John and his guests and get them in.
Be sure to sign up for John’s newsletter on Straight Talk and you will get the list of each Sunday night guests on Thursday of that week before they are listed on the site.
Buckle up, the coming series of shows will have you laughing; wondering about things and people, hearing the no holds bar attitude in John’s assessment of Hollywood shenanigans; but also in tears at some of the specials John will be having from now until the end of the year.
