Actress and author Kristen Johnston needs no introduction but we’re giving her one anyway: the Emmy award-winning star of Third Rock From the Sun who’s now starring on TVLand’s The Exes (Wednesdays at 10 pm!), Johnston is also the New York Times bestselling author of Guts: The Endless Follies and Tiny Triumphs of a Giant Disaster, which details her struggle with and recovery from addiction. Here we talk about the nitty gritty details of her stomach exploding (that’s what taking too many pills will do to you), the part fame played in her addiction, her plan to start up sober high schools in New York and much more.
