Show Notes

When you mention MTV, there are two types of people: those who like the music and those who enjoy reality television (and a very select few who only know the channel for its endless reruns of Ridiculousness). Yet, whichever category you fall into, there is one household name that brings all of those people together: Snooki! 




Reality star and businesswoman Nicole Polizzi (aka Snooki) joins Kennedy for Happy Hour this week to discuss her "Messy Mawma" wine, what it was like to be a part of MTV's reality renaissance, and how she balances her work with family.
