On this Throwback Thursday, we revisit this episode from 2012 with actress and writer Illeana Douglas. Jay and Illeana discuss their time on Action, swap behind-the-scenes stories involving Buddy Hackett, Keanu Reeves, and network insanity, and dig into what it was really like navigating TV writing rooms, power dynamics, and creative frustration in a very different era.
