About this episode

This week, Tommy is joined by actress Sarah Drew who is best known for playing the fan-favorite role of Dr. April Kepner for 9 seasons on Grey’s Anatomy. This role catapulted Sarah into becoming a household name and even a trending hashtag (#JAPRIL) week after week. Now she is bringing some holiday cheer, starring in and executive producing the series, Mistletoe Murders out now on HALLMARK+. Sarah stars as Emily Lane in a series that blends the mystery and intrigue of Veronica Mars with the festive charm of Hallmark’s holiday programming. Today, Sarah opens up about what she’s most proud of from her long-running character on Grey’s Anatomy, the ways she transformed as a person throughout her time playing April, how she worked through the pain of being let go from the series, the important lessons she learned through that difficult time, her thoughts on returning to Grey’s Anatomy, why her heart is singing with her latest project, Mistletoe Murders, if working on a Christmas project is as magical as it seems, why she feels that she is in the greatest chapter of her career, the sobering lesson she learned about the importance of being present, how a Pixar movie allowed her to really acknowledge the good and bad of her emotions, if she agrees that Mariah is the queen of Christmas, and so much more.
