Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard

Jackie Tohn Returns

7/13/20262 hr 1 min

Jackie Tohn (Nobody Wants This, The Boys, GLOW) is an actress, comedian, and musician. Jackie joins Armchair Expert to discuss growing up on Long Island with two gym-teacher parents, discovering her BRCA mutation after her father’s cancer diagnosis, and becoming an advocate for genetic testing and preventative care. Jackie and Dax talk about clawing through Hollywood as a musician and comic, learning to pivot instead of wait for permission, and finally being able to calm down after Nobody Wants This. Jackie explains the exhaustion of making life-or-death choices, how anxiety changes once the thing you fear actually happens, and the freedom of not having to be “on” for every room.

    Yeah, returning guest, Jackie Tone. Jackie Tone is an actor and a musician. Nobody Wants This, Glow, The Boys, Gen V. We didn't even talk about The Boys with her. I love seeing her on The Boys, 'cause I'm obsessed with The Boys.

    I forget she's on it. Yeah, so she pops up, and it's a pop out, and I love it.

  10. Monica Padman· Host0:26

    That's fun. Pop outs are fun.

  11. Dax Shepard· Host0:27

    Yeah, and she's here today, and, um, she's telling a very, very personal story that she's gone through, uh, simultaneously to all this wonderful stuff.

  12. Monica Padman· Host0:35

    Yeah.

  13. Dax Shepard· Host0:35

    Uh, and it's a harrowing tale. Please enjoy Jackie Tone. This episode is brought to you by American Beverage. We've probably all had that moment where someone says something about an ingredient in your drink, and you're like, "Should I be worried about that?" And then you look it up and immediately end up in the wildest corners of the internet with completely contradicting information. All I want is clear, transparent information, and I bet you do, too. That's why American Beverage launched Good To Know. It's a site where you can look up over 140 common beverage ingredients, what they are, how they're used, how they've been reviewed for safety. No spin or judgment, just facts. You can decide for yourself. Visit goodtoknowfacts.org for more information. We get support from Quince.

  14. Monica Padman· Host1:22

    Have you been wearing the Quince linen shirts?

  15. Dax Shepard· Host1:25

    Uh, yeah. I've been wearing them a suspicious amount. Yeah.
