The Other Chair

You follow them. Now hear what’s on their minds.

The Other Chair takes you inside the Paraluman Newsroom, where two celebrities sit across from each other, ask the questions that matter, and let the conversation go where it wants. Expect real talk and plenty of laughs as you get to know the people behind the familiar faces.

Thirty minutes. Two celebrities. Every week.
