S21E05: Joey Lawrence

Actor and musician Joey Lawrence roared into Americans’ consciousness at the tender age of 5, when he tap danced his way into our hearts on Johnny Carson’s Tonight Show in 1982. From there, everything was coming up Joey for most of the next two decades: Gimme a Break!, Blossom, and Brotherly Love set his high water mark, but he’s worked steadily in his industry ever since. He’s also been through two divorces and a bankruptcy – and Stacie thinks he may have benefited from taking some “me time” in between his fast-moving relationships.
