Comedian Grace O’Malley is returning to podcasting with a new series that launches today (Feb. 20) via Alex Cooper’s The Unwell Network. Called Disgraceful, the series will feature O’Malley tackling weekly news and other topics through what Unwell says will be “unfiltered conversation and deep dives.” And a different guest each week will appear with the premise of whether they have what it takes to become her show’s co-host.
“Not to sound like a dummy, but the only word that comes to mind is ‘stoked.’ I guess it makes sense that a network named ‘Unwell’ would want me under their roof. It’s astounding that they have given me full creative control to prove to the world once again that I have no idea what I’m doing,” O’Malley says. “My goal with this podcast is to amplify like-minded clueless voices and simply make people laugh in such a bummer news cycle.”
O’Malley, who signed with The Unwell Network in December, is an experienced podcaster. Before joining the Unwell Network, O’Malley co-hosted the PlanBri Uncut podcast for Barstool Sports until she exited the show in December. She has also made a name for herself in the comedy industry and will soon be headlining her first tour, The Down For Anything Tour. It has earned her nearly 1.5 million followers across social media.
“Signing Grace to Unwell was the natural choice. She is everything that the network embodies in terms of culture and authenticity, knowing exactly how to entertain our audience,” says Rory Armstrong, Head of the Unwell Network. “Her quick wit, relatability, and ability to be in tune with her fans is exactly what makes her perfect for this new endeavor and we are excited to see where this goes.”
The Unwell Network, which launched in August 2023, is a subsidiary of the Gen Z media company, Trending, founded by Cooper and her partner, Matt Kaplan of ACE Entertainment. The Unwell Network produces content focused on pop-culture, beauty, fashion, and lifestyle.
