Celebrity Interviewer: How to Ask Better Questions, Be Yourself, and Have Fun | Jenelle Riley

A year ago, I started watching a ton of celebrity interviews, hoping to understand how actors, directors, and producers built successful careers in such an oversaturated industry. What I didn’t expect, though, was to be captivated by the person interviewing them all.

Today, I connected with Jenelle Riley, an Emmy-winning journalist, playwright, and editor at Variety. She started out in Oregon with no industry connections but built her career through her brilliant writing and natural ability to connect with people.

Today Jenelle shares with us how to become an exceptional interviewer, from research and preparation to making a real connection with A-list guests. Whether you're aspiring to be a professional storyteller or just need some encouragement, you'll love this conversation with Jenelle Riley.
