Viva Betty: An Ugly Betty Rewatch

Ben Silverman

Executive Producer Ben Silverman is in the studio to talk about how Ugly Betty really got made from its inspiration in the Colombian telenovela, to ideas that didn't quite get off the ground, to building the team and cast that truly believed in the show and created the world of “Betty the Ugly” as we know it.

S1E8 After Hours + Mark Worthington

Happy New Year! We're starting off 2026 with a bang as Ana and Mark dissect a very hot and heavy episode, S1E8 "After Hours", including the very first appearance by Santos, and what MYW stands for. Then, they're joined by production designer Mark Worthington to talk about creating the world of Mode and the New York of Betty's imagination.

Tony Plana PT2

As a special Christmas gift to our listeners, La Familia Suarez is back together again for Mark and Ana’s extended interview with Tony Plana. He talks about growing up in the shadows of the major studios in Hollywood, fighting for the part of Ignacio, and all of the delicious (and very real) food that came out of the Suarez kitchen.

S1E7 Trust, Lust, and Must + Tony Plana PT1

Ana and Mark love today's episode and its rhyming title: Trust, Lust, and Must. They express their concern for the Bandaged Woman and her too-long healing journey, meet the iconic Debi Mazar, and learn Ignacio's heart-wrenching immigration story. Finally, they reunite with their on-screen dad Tony Plana (with more to come next week!). See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

Christopher Gorham PT2

The conversation continues with our dear friend Christopher Gorham, also known as Henry Grubstick and Betty's true love. He tells us how Henry got his glasses, America Ferrera's blunt feedback on set, and the storyline he wishes he could change.
