It’s been 18 years since the premiere of Ugly Betty, but guess what? We’re Still Ugly! Who are we? We’re best friends, Michael Urie and Becki Newton, aka your favorite love-to-hate-them MODE besties, Marc St. James and Amanda Tanen. We’re as close as ever and ready to dive into each episode of Ugly Betty, dissecting storylines and character motivations, choosing our top looks, and trying not to cry (but mostly failing). Stick around for games inspired by the episode and fan segments where we will listen to fan confessions, answer questions, and give advice (or try to). Even though Ugly Betty is over, we’re….Still Ugly! New episodes will drop every Wednesday on YouTube, Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Here is a podcast that I didn’t know I needed. I love both of you so much, always have since the Ugly Betty days plus I lived in Branford, Connecticut and Beckie lived in Guilford Connecticut! Love going down memory lane on the show. I recently just re-watched it myself out of pure joy for the show and I am finding this podcast the most delightful use of time for long car rides and long work days. Hugs to you both. 🤍
Hearing the voices of Michael and Bcki as hosts, was like a hug I didn’t know I needed. Add in America as their first guest, and I literally had tears in my eyes. Ugly Betty was, and remains, such an important show. The themes and lessons remain so relevant and I’m looking forward to rewatching the series again as this podcast explores the series.
This podcast is so fun, light hearted, and interesting! As an original Betty fan from back in the day, I love getting to hear the behind the scenes stories and fun facts! I have rewatched Betty yearly (from dvds to streaming platforms) and this is making my yearly rewatch so rich! Thank you Michael and Becky for giving the fans this new “Betty”!
So excited when I saw this podcast was coming out! I was a fan of America from Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants movie (and book). Then saw the show and it was something my mom and I would watch or catch up on as I was in college when it came out. But it was this era of TV I loved and remembered being excited each week for a new episode. It was always nice when I was home and it was something to watch together. I loved everyone on the show but the two of you as Amanda and Mark had so many entertaining almost scene stealing moments! It makes my heart happy you were just as good of friends on and off the show. Loved the character arcs of you both throughout the show and loving the podcast along with it on YouTube cause I can see your faces!! PS: Obsessed with Shrinking and Lincoln Lawyer!!
