You all know Mary Lynn Rajskub from her indelible performance as Chloe O'Brien on the long running hit series, 24. We were so glad to have her on Don't Tell My Mother! because if terrorists attack, we could rely on Mary Lynn to hack our iphones and save the day. Or, perhaps, she can just tell a hilarious story about her stalker girlfriend and keep the terrorists laughing while we all escaped. Either one works for us, thanks Mary Lynn!

Welcome to the very first episode of the Don't Tell My Mother! podcast. DTMM is a live show in Los Angeles, California where writers and performers from film and television share true stories they'd NEVER want their moms to know. Created and hosted by Twentieth Century Fox producer Nikki Levy (Epic, Frost/Nixon), DTMM is where the funniest, brightest and most insane minds in the business share stories that'll make you laugh, blush and cringe. The perfect guest for our first episode is the wickedly funny Jen Kober. An actress and comic from Louisiana, Jen can be seen in The Mindy Project, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Showtime's Fierce, Funny Women and American Reunion. While Jen has many stories she'd prefer her mom not know, this is one of our favorites. We're so excited to share it with you as our inaugural episode. Our theme song was written and performed by Steve O'Reilly with lead vocals by Karen Rockower Glass. Sit back as Jen regales us with the dangers of mixing drugs and Christians. We hope you enjoy and don't forget to leave comments in our talkback!
