Perez Hilton puts self-improvement centre stage

You may know him as the curator of the most salacious celebrity gossip the internet has to offer. But these days, Perez Hilton is more focused on self-improvement than site hits.

The infamous blogger has been attempting to transform himself over the past few years after deciding to — as he so delicately puts it — "stop being so much of a d-bag."

It's an effort he largely attributes to fatherhood — and he's embracing that role outside of his personal life as well, stepping out from behind the screen and into the spotlight portraying beloved dad Danny Tanner in Full House: The Musical.

He joins guest host Candy Palmater to talk about the musical, but also opens up about his struggles with anxiety, his journey to shed the persona he became notorious for, and how becoming a parent changed him as a person.
