In this special episode of Cawfee Tawk, Tara Cannistraci sits down with actor and musician David Faustino—forever known to fans as Bud Bundy from the groundbreaking sitcom Married… with Children. They dive into what it was like growing up as a child star, whether he knew the show would become such an enduring pop culture icon, and how it flipped the traditional sitcom on its head. David shares wild behind-the-scenes stories, why Married… with Children was the second most-watched show in U.S. prisons, and why its raw humor resonated so deeply with everyday people. Tara and David also open up about growing up in nontraditional, dysfunctional families, their shared love of hip-hop, his half Sicilian roots, and his journey to sobriety. Plus, David gives the inside scoop on his upcoming documentary—all served with plenty of laughs and a side of real tawk. So grab that cawfee for a trip to 1987.
