Gail Rudnick, an 83-year-old glamorous grandma with over a million social media fans, and her granddaughter Kimberly Murstein, 29, are launching a new advice column for The New York Post called "Excuse My Advice." The dynamic duo, known for their popular "Excuse My Grandma" podcast, will provide no-nonsense insights and differing perspectives to help readers tackle a wide range of issues, from family feuds to money and relationships.
Why it matters
As an advice column with a unique intergenerational dynamic, "Excuse My Advice" offers a refreshing take on life's challenges. Rudnick's straight-talking pragmatism and Murstein's romantic idealism provide complementary advice that is relevant for readers of all ages and backgrounds.
The details
For the past five years, Rudnick and Murstein have been dishing out opinions on their wildly popular podcast "Excuse My Grandma." Murstein started the podcast after moving in with her grandmother during the COVID pandemic, realizing that their comic disagreements caused by generational differences would resonate with a wide audience. Their associated TikTok and Instagram channels, which collectively boast more than one million followers, have turned the two into bona fide social media celebrities. Now, with their new Post column, they're catapulting into a new stratosphere.
- In 2020, Murstein, who graduated from Cornell, was working as a producer and on-air reporter for streaming network Cheddar TV. Amid the COVID pandemic, she decided to escape New York City to stay with Rudnick in Palm Beach, where the idea of 'Excuse My Grandma' was born.
- 'Excuse My Grandma' debuted in 2021 and became an instant hit, buoyed by the pair's playful ribbing of each other on social media.
