Emmy Winner Niecy Nash-Betts Reacts to Critics Who ‘Hated’ Her Show

On this episode of Obsessed, Matt Wilstein is joined by producer Rachel Passer to kick things off with a lively conversation about the Super Bowl, Bad Bunny’s highly anticipated halftime show, and how politics, pop culture, and criticism collide on TV’s biggest stage. Then, Matt sits down with Emmy-winning icon Niecy Nash-Betts for a candid, funny, and deeply personal conversation about her career—from Reno 911! to Getting On, Ryan Murphy collaborations, and that unforgettable Emmy win. Niecy opens up about navigating critical backlash, supporting Kim Kardashian amid All’s Fair reviews, and trusting her own path despite the noise. It’s a joyful, honest reflection on longevity, ambition, and why the critics don’t always have the final word.
