We're Interviewing Who?! - Élodie Yung for The Cleaning Lady
The Cleaning Lady star Élodie Yung is here to chat about parental sacrifices, charting her own professional course, and the international power of E.T.
More about The Cleaning Lady:
The series follows Thony De La Rosa (Élodie Yung), a whip-smart Cambodian doctor who comes to the U.S. for a medical treatment to save her ailing son, but when the system fails and attempts to push her down, Thony refuses to be marginalized, and instead takes matters into her own hands.
The stakes in Season Three of The Cleaning Lady are higher and more intense than ever, from the mystery of Arman’s whereabouts to Thony’s efforts to bring Fiona back to the US after she was deported to the Philippines. As Thony’s journey continues to unfold, she is completely alone. Her world is turned upside down as she fights to protect her family, forcing her to take steps that deepen a new association with a dangerous Cartel.

We're Interviewing Who?! - Clair Titley and Nasubi for The Contestant
It's The Truman Show meets Naked and Afraid meets Extreme Couponing? We welcome documentary director Clair Titley and the prizewinning participant himself, Nasubi, to talk about their stranger than fiction look at The Contestant.
More about The Contestant:
This true story of a Japanese reality TV star left naked in a room for more than a year, tasked with filling out magazine sweepstakes to earn food and clothing, prompts innumerable questions about our culture of oversharing.Before the onslaught of reality television in the West, there was an ominous harbinger in Japan of what was to come in our oversharing-obsessed culture. The Contestant traces the experience of aspiring comedian Tomoaki Hamatsu, nicknamed Nasubi, who unwittingly became an extreme case study.In 1998, Nasubi thought he was attending an audition when a successful Japanese TV producer, Toshio Tsuchiya, enlisted him to take part in a challenge. Tsuchiya led Nasubi into a room, ordered him to strip naked and left him with a stack of magazines. Nasubi’s task was to fill out contest coupons in order to win what he needed to survive — food, clothing, appliances, etc. — until he reached the prize goal of one million yen.
Although Nasubi could have left at any time, he stayed for months with a fierce determination to complete his mission. He was cut off from all contact with his family and the world except for occasional interactions with Tsuchiya.
What Nasubi didn’t realize was that his experiences were being broadcast to over 15 million people in a TV show called Denpa Shonen: A Life in Prizes. Without his knowledge or consent, Nasubi became the most famous television personality in Japan.
The Contestant is streaming now on Hulu.
