When you're "in bed" with someone it generally has one of two meanings. The first would actually be "in the sack" i.e. having sex. The second would be in cahoots with or supportive of. This show is the latter. Joan only asks, or has her daughter Melissa ask, people whom she knows and admires and who know and admire her on this <30 minute show that is available as a free download on iTunes. So it's basically a mutual admiration society. That is not to say the show is not without its charm. Joan asks her guests a series of predictable questions with a few zingers thrown in just to add spice. The answers are not always what one would expect and are sometimes revelatory and often humorous.
