Teresa Strasser (Voted #1 Ep of 2011)

Adam Carolla’s former sidekick comes guns blazing to the fear-off. Holy shit she brings it. This one gets dark. From her being vanquished by a stepmother at age 3 to seriously considering suicide earlier in the year. Touching and funny. She is also the author of the critically-acclaimed pregnancy memoir Exploiting My Baby. Paul made a mistake when he uploaded the first version of this interview. Though an editing error, a reference to another female guest (with a book), sounded like Paul was talking about Teresa. Hopefully this version clears that up! Apologies to T for the mixup.
