This past spring, the podcast host and entertainment journalist Josh Horowitz was interviewing Ryan Gosling for Project Hail Mary when the star interrupted with an important request.“Can I come on the dog cast?,” Gosling asked, on behalf of himself but really his black-haired Doodle named Magic.He’s hardly the only one.Since it debuted in February, the podcast — an, ahem, bite-sized video pod in which Horowitz talks to boldfaced names (and their pups) at a dog-friendly house in Los Angeles or near their homes — has become something of a favorite among entertainers.Stars ranging from Bob Odenkirk to Ginnifer Goodwin to Dylan O’Brien, Johnny Knoxville and Zoey Deutch and Patrick Wilson, have brought their pup on the show for a protein-based treat and the Mike Wallace treatment (but really the first one).
O’Brien had a notable episode with his “megamutt” Tony, the fastest chihuahua in Tribeca. Goodwin showed off her English Springer Spaniel Digby and his reading proclivities (but odd discomfort with windshield wipers). Johnny Knoxville’s chosen topics of conversation … you don’t want to know.
A new season of Good Guest will launch July 22, with Jake Johnson, Chase Stokes, Alexandra Daddario and their adorably imperfect canines among those scheduled to appear.
