Jackie Tohn Talks 'Nobody Wants This' Season 2, Comedy & Playing Esther! | Melissa Rivers Group Text

In the role of Esther on the Netflix mega-hit rom-com “Nobody Wants This” (now streaming and renewed for a second season!) Jackie Tohn is many things: a devoted mother and wife, a fiercely loyal friend, and a pot-stirrer extraordinaire. Jackie brings a level of humanity and humor to the role that must be seen to be believed. On this episode she discusses the insanity of dating in L.A.; the intricacies of interfaith relationships; the poetic nature of Yiddish, and reveals the original working title of “Nobody Wants This.” Dive deeper into the Group Text:    • Melissa River's Group Text   Melissa Rivers’ Group Text merch: ► https://shop.hurrdatmedia.com/collect...
