This third-generation Yenta talks about dating rules in the social-media age, how practice dates are essential to landing a partner, working with billionaire clients, the unique experience of finding love (and sex) in L.A., and searching for love herself.

Cut to 2024 and Skeet is starring as Colin, a loyal ex-con trying not to get swept up in New Orleans’ seedy criminal underworld in “Parish” (Sundays at 9/8c on AMC).

If tragedy plus time equals comedy, then it’s no surprise the four-year estrangement between my guest Mayan Lopez and her father, comedian George Lopez, yields sitcom gold in “Lopez Vs. Lopez” (new episodes Tuesdays at 8/7c on NBC and streaming on Peacock). As the show begins its second season, Mayan shares how she mines laughs from heavy subjects like infidelity, alcoholism, and race; how a TikTok video led her to network TV stardom, and how she blazed her own trail in the entertainment business through improv and sketch comedy.

In 2022, Mark Ford and Erica Hanson, the executive producers of the revealing new docuseries, “Where is Wendy Williams” (now available on Lifetime), set out to chronicle the return of one of daytime’s loudest and most popular voices. What they found was a lonely woman in crisis despite being placed under guardianship by New York State. Ford and Hanson discuss remaining nimble in their approach to documenting Wendy Williams’ struggle with alcoholism and her descent into dementia; being stonewalled by the system allegedly in place to protect her; earning the trust of the Williams family, and filmmaking as a form of health advocacy.
