Parent and Kid Reviews
What's the Story?
TURNING THE TABLES WITH ROBIN ROBERTS is a talk show starring Good Morning America anchor Robin Roberts as she hosts multigenerational female icons for tea and conversation. Each installment of the series features Roberts talking to women who have made a name for themselves in the entertainment industry. They share some of the struggles and successes throughout their careers and their personal lives. They also reveal the life lessons they've learned along the way.
Is It Any Good?
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.
