This includes things like: life-long insecurities, traumatic childhood experiences, complicated relationships, disorders, past drug experimentation, etc.īut the genuine curiosity and respect Shepard shows towards his guests as he delves deep into these conversations and debates, while still maintaining a light-hearted tone, are the qualities of him that make him a truly impressive interviewer.

The show usually lasts one to one-and-a-half hours.

But he apparently still has time to create an award-winning podcast. He just wrapped the ABC comedy pilot Bless This Mess which he stars and executive produces and is in production on the game show Spin the Wheel for ABC which he hosts. Last seen in his Warner Brothers’ feature CHiPs which he wrote, directed and stars in, Shepard can currently be seen in Ted Melfi’s El Camino Christmas on Netflix.
