Everything you need to know about me
Well now that ABC has made it official, I can announce it here: I’m going to play on The $100,000 Pyramid!
Episode airs Sunday, August 19, at 9 P.M. on, obviously, ABC and I get to play with Jon Lovitz and Bobby Moynihan. Make sure to watch but if you miss it, I’ll be updating on here of course. And follow me @mikejanela on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook for updates as they happen there too.
For like 25 years, the only Broadway show I’d ever seen was C.A.T.S. — which I went to on a sixth grade field trip.
But since I moved to New York back in 2010, I’ve actually gotten really into theater…when I can afford tickets or go for free, obviously. In just the last couple months, I’ve seen Aladdin, A Bronx Tale, Frozen, and Hamilton, so yeah, I’m on a bit of kick.
Which made it really cool to cover the Tony Awards for The Hollywood Reporter. From Robert De Niro F-bombs to Mean Girls making the kind of history no show wants, here’s everything you need to know from the biggest night on Broadway.
If anybody’s got the Springsteen on Broadway hookup, there’s a comments section right under this k thanks.
He’s the biggest guest in show history and talking about a lot more than Pitch Perfect. Skylar Astin shares how he was guilted into doing the pod (2:45), the only times he doesn’t like taking pictures with fans (9:17), when he knew acting was his meal ticket (18:45), what’s most fun between theater/TV/movies (28:12), breaking his own golden rule to meet Anna Camp (35:44), and if Anna watches WWE with him (42:22). Then the guys trade their drunkest stories (52:43) and Skylar answers the Fun Five (57:51).
Listen and you’ll learn fun facts like the first wedding Skylar ever attended was “Macho Man” Randy Savage to Miss Elizabeth.
Keep up with Skylar on Instagram and Twitter. Then follow me on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook too!
Make sure to download, review, and subscribe to the pod on Apple Podcasts right here, in the Google Play store, or on Spotify.

I had a lot of free time the last month between traveling and the holidays, and knew I’d be spending a lot of it sitting on planes or trains and having already watched every movie/TV show out there.
So I decided to go through my video archives and whip up a few different new reels for the new year. Check ’em out and let me know what you think. Like, here’s proof I’ll try pretty much anything on camera.
