Michelle Buteau Dishes About Survival of the Thickest and More on Skip Intro

Michelle Buteau chats with Krista Smith in New York about the return of Survival of the Thickest Season 2. Buteau stars as the vibrant and charming Mavis Beaumont — a resilient stylist determined to pioneer a space for the women too often ignored in a world of high fashion.

On Skip Intro, Buteau shares what it took to overcome rejection in her own life, how to stand in your power, and her commitment to always “make it fun!”

Buteau also catches us up on her last five years as a mom of twins and what it was like to make history as the first woman to film a stand-up special at Radio City Music Hall.
