We Should Never Have Ben Left Unsupervised (ft. Allira)
This week on It’s Ben A Week, Ben is catching up with one of his oldest and dearest friends from his Los Angeles days, Australian actress and longtime partner-in-crime Allira. Ben and Allira met nearly a decade ago in acting class, where they quickly discovered they shared two things: a love of acting and an inability to keep a straight face around some of their classmates. What followed was years of questionable decisions, ridiculous adventures and the kind of friendship where neither person...

It’s Ben a Gay Man’s Summer (ft. Brian & John)
Brian and John from Out Loud & Laughing are back on It’s Ben A Week, and apparently a few months apart gave everyone a lot to discuss. Ben catches up with the boys on everything that’s happened since their last visit—from The Traitors: New Blood and Ben’s increasingly recognizable cowboy hat to weight-loss shots, gay body standards and why Ben considers himself a “six-foot-three petite person.” The conversation somehow moves from GLP-1s to protein, farm animals and the uncomfortable reali...

Everything Has Ben a Scam
Apparently, everything is a scam. This week, Ben is solo—and he has a few things he needs to get off his chest. It starts with a routine service appointment for Ben’s electric vehicle, a tire-protection package that was supposed to make tire problems worry-free, and the discovery that apparently tires can be too worn out to qualify for the protection Ben specifically purchased for his tires. What follows is an increasingly ridiculous lesson in warranties, loopholes and why Ben is convinced we...

The System Has Ben Failing Survivors (ft. Trisha LaFache)
This week’s It’s Ben A Week is a little different—and considerably more serious. Ben is joined by returning guest, friend, acting coach and criminal defense attorney Trisha LaFache for a conversation about sexual assault, college campuses, the criminal justice system and what happens when survivors believe the institutions designed to protect them have failed. The conversation was prompted in part by renewed national attention surrounding allegations that a former Cornell University student w...

Fear Has Always Ben His Superpower (ft. Corey Eubanks)
What does it take to survive more than four decades getting paid to crash cars, jump motorcycles, work with fire, horses and helicopters—and occasionally die on camera? Apparently, being scared. This week, Ben sits down with legendary Hollywood stuntman, stunt coordinator, actor, director and author Corey Eubanks, whose career spans more than 160 movies and over 1,200 episodes of television. From The Dukes of Hazzard and Pee-wee’s Big Adventure to Fast & Furious, Transformers, Rush Hour, ...

It’s Ben a Long Road (ft. AJ & Joy)
Joy is back at the ranch—and this time AJ is joining the entire episode. Fresh off Ben’s Traitors: New Blood premiere party, the three chat about a week filled with friends, cocktails, cookies with Ben’s face on them, cakes with Ben’s face on them and, apparently, just about anything else they could possibly put Ben’s face on. But Joy’s visit brings back one particularly chaotic memory: the time she helped Ben and AJ move from Los Angeles to Texas during COVID. After U-Haul informed the...

It’s All Ben Leading Up to This
It’s officially premiere week. After months of filming, waiting, keeping secrets and counting down the days, Ben is just two days away from the premiere of The Traitors: New Blood—and it’s finally starting to feel real. This week, Ben reflects on what it feels like to finally reach a moment he’s spent years working toward. From seeing himself on billboards and magazine covers to getting recognized in public, becoming a meme and discovering just how deeply Traitors fans will investigate ...

There’s Ben a Tumor Named Bubba (ft. Risa August)
This week on It’s Ben A Week, Ben sits down with author, speaker and endurance athlete Risa August for an incredible conversation about what happens when the life you carefully planned suddenly takes a completely different road. For nearly seven years, Risa knew something in her body wasn’t right. Despite unexplained weight gain, headaches, changes in her body and eventually debilitating symptoms, she says she was repeatedly told by doctors that she was fine. Finally, Risa insisted on a...
