This one’s for the books. Actor Gio Johnson returns to The Midday Live Show—and this time, he’s not alone.

Joining us is the one and only Giovonnie Samuels, the iconic actress you know from All That, That’s So Raven, Bring It On: All or Nothing, and more.

We dive into:
🎬 Her decades-long career in Hollywood and growing up on our TV screens
🔥 A heated debate on which music artist’s entire catalog has to go

You won’t want to miss

Real talk, laughs, nostalgia, and a whole lot of culture — this episode is pure gold.

We Educate. We Elevate. We Entertain.

Live from iHeart Radio Chicago, this episode stirs up conversation, controversy, and cocktails!

We kick things off with Phil Wills, expert bartender and mixologist from the hit TV show Bar Rescue. He drops gems on bar culture, high-pressure hospitality, and what it really takes to “rescue” a failing business. 💼🍸

Then we shift gears to the trending topic of B. Simone, whose recent comments on reality TV and relationships have the internet in flames. Is she speaking facts or just out of touch?

And of course, it wouldn’t be summer in the city without talking about Summertime Chi — but is what we see on IG really what’s happening in real life?

We break down the difference between reel life vs real life in Chicago.
