Harvey Fierstein: Heartfelt and Funny

On this episode, Donny sits down with four-time Tony Award-winning, actor, playwright, and now best-selling author, Harvey Fierstein. Harvey and Donny jump right into discussing his memoir, I Was Better Last Night, and Harvey shares some fascinating stories including some background into his 20/20 interview with Barbara Walters, and how he became a part of an exciting experimental art movement while working with Andy Warhol during his very first gig. They also dive into how things have changed from the fight against AIDS to the fight for marriage equality, and now for gender inclusivity, and why these profound societal shifts keep life exciting. But first, Donny dives into this week's headlines, dishing out his "ups" and "downs" to brands like Michael Cohen, Starbucks, Big Tech, and Pickle Ball in his weekly "Brands of the Week" segment.
