Summary

Hollywood doesn't run on red carpets; it runs on assistants. Behind every headline is the person who booked the car, confirmed the call time, and packed the snacks. In Hollywood, assistants aren't background; they're the operating system. From mailroom gigs, set runners and first feature films to all the chaos behind closed doors, Clyde Confidential lifts the curtain on the industry's most defining (and sometimes mortifying) early career moments. Hosted by Meghan Grimm, founder of the elite entertainment staffing agency Clyde, this podcast brings together the movers and shakers of Hollywood: clients, creators, and ex-assistants turned power players to dish on the real stories from their career journeys and biggest lessons that came out of them.

  • The Secret World of Celebrity Hair & Makeup in Hollywood with A-Frame
    Apr 30 2026

    Welcome A-Frame! Meet Alexandra Feldman, Noelle Keshishian, and Samantha Tyler — the trio behind A-Frame Agency, one of Hollywood's premier hair, makeup, and nail talent agencies. In this episode, Meghan sits down with all three founders to hear the wild origin story of how they went from agents to launching their own company with just 24 hours notice, two of them secretly pregnant, and the entire world in the middle of a global pandemic. They talk about what it really takes to build something from scratch, why their growth has always been organic and people-first, and what it means to create a workplace where the staff is the business. Plus, they close out the night with a hilarious prank call that you have to hear to believe.

    Apr 23 2026

    Welcome Jake Fleischman! Meghan sits down with her good friend Jake, talent manager at Untitled Entertainment, for a conversation that's equal parts career masterclass and chaos. From bluffing his way into UTA's mailroom to booking his boss on a no-Wi-Fi flight so he could secretly sign his first client, Jake doesn't exactly follow the rules — and it's working. They get into the hustle behind breaking into Hollywood, the power of mentorship, why listening is the ultimate power move, and what it actually means to ride for your people.

  • Behind the Producer of It Ends With Us: Alex Saks
    Apr 16 2026

    Welcome Alex Saks! This week, Meghan sits down with powerhouse film producer Alex Saks and her assistant of three years, Carly Swift — a pairing born from a movie set, a mutual friend, and a little bit of fate. From living together on the set of It Ends with Us to navigating the boss-assistant dynamic with radical honesty, Alex and Carly get into what it really takes to build trust in this industry. Alex opens up about the years she wasn't a great boss, why the entertainment industry has long undervalued its support staff, and what she believes separates the people who make it from the ones who don't. Plus — a truly unforgettable story involving the Holland Tunnel, food poisoning, and a white outfit. You've been warned.
