This intimate series offers lots of quotable moments as celebrities share their personal stories about the life lessons they've learned as they've navigated the entertainment industry. But while it's billed as an interview series with Hollywood success stories, and features actresses like Sophia Carson, and Josie Totah, comedians like Tig Notaro, and musicians like Sheila É., it also showcases female groundbreakers outside of the biz, including tennis legend Billie Jean King and fashion designer Betsey Johnson. Overall, Turning The Tables with Robin Roberts offers some empowering messages about acceptance, strength, and life.
