Fortune Feimster PT 2: Flipping Out for Jeff Lewis, Falling for Madonna, Singing with the Chicks and the $6M Banana!
Manage episode 479889675 series 3599373
It's part 2 with Comedian, actress, and Netflix star, Fortune Feimster and she's back overflowing with wild stories, deep moments, and Hollywood surprises.
She kicks off with a musical confession that she once performed Goodbye Earl live with The Chicks and raves about vocal queens like Kelly Clarkson (the slimmed-down version) and Alanis Morissette, earning massive diva points. We had no idea Fortune could sing until she shocked everyone at Chumpaoke. But, she swears she’s not releasing an album, but now we know there’s a voice under that comedy crown.
From coast to coast, Fortune has done over 200 cities and 150 shows annually. She opens up about the grind of tour life and how acting—like filming Netflix’s FUBAR with Arnold Schwarzenegger—gives her room to breathe. Season 2 is wrapped and packed with more action (and more Fortune!).
But what happens when Fortune invites reality design king Jeff Lewis into her home? CHAOS. What began as a quick two-week makeover turned into four months of filming Hollywood Houselift and poor Jax (Fortune’s soon to be ex-wife) was not thrilled. "Jeff pokes the bear." Fortune laughs, revealing the duo’s dynamic clash—funny, never nasty. And yes, Jeff once called Pol’ “the worst f***ing client imaginable. Badge of honor?
Then boom—Madonna. Jax, a die-hard fan and fellow Michigan native, finally got to meet her idol at a private, no-phones-allowed event. And get this: Madonna knew who Fortune was and had seen her comedy. “She was kind, gracious… everything,” Fortune says, holding back tears. Jax got to thank Madonna personally for her lifelong LGBTQ+ advocacy. Total bucket-list magic.
It’s not all emotion—there’s fashion shade ahead in “Runway Rundown.” Fortune reacts to Harvey Guillén’s ruffled Critics Choice look (also worn by Chris Perfetti) and Hannah Einbinder’s vintage couture moment from Hacks, drawing comparisons to Lucille Ball meets Paris runway. “It’s exaggerated, it’s bold, and she’s serving,” Fortune says.
Then: trivia chaos. Fortune plays “It’s a Fortune After All” and tries to guess:
- Who bought a banana for $6.2 million? (New York)
- Who made $100M for one movie?
- Who owns the most expensive yacht? (It’s not Trump)
She aces it. Then we dish on viral hecklers like Natalie Cuomo, Fortune’s own nightmare heckler during her Sweet & Salty Netflix taping, and the absurdity of Mandy Moore dragging Amazon for delivering to her burned-down house.
Then things turn emotional. Pol’ gives Fortune a powerful coffee reading, guiding her through something long buried—a personal hurt she’s carried silently. He encourages her to release it and reclaim her full self. Put the chandelier back up, he tells her, metaphorically and literally. It’s a deeply moving, soul-illuminating moment.
In the final moments, Pol’ offers a stunning insight: Fortune may be holding onto something from her past—a moment she stayed silent, something she needs to release to truly level up in her life and career. “It’s about coming home to yourself,” he says, bringing the conversation full circle.
💬 “Fortune, you’ve been undressed by Pol’ and Patrik—how do you feel?”
✨ “Exposed… but in a fabulous way,” she laughs.
