<P> Faris and Mom co-star Allison Janney hosted the 41st People's Choice Awards, which were held January 7, 2015 . In November, she launched Unqualified, a free - form advice podcast; along with producer Sim Sarna, she is the host of the show, which consists of interviews with celebrities and cultural figures, followed by personal phone - calls to listeners asking for relationship and other advice . Faris was inspired to create the podcast after listening to Serial, and explaining the evolution of the idea, she said: "I love to talk about relationships; that's all I want to talk about with my friends . And then I just thought, I kind of want a hobby (...) So I started asking around to some friends, and I asked this technical producer guy what equipment I should buy on Amazon . And I just started recording my friends when they would come over . And then with my dear friend Sim, we started flushing out the whole thing, which clearly there's still a lot more flushing out to do . It started out as a dinky hobby". As of May 2018, 122 episodes have been released . </P> <P> Faris reprised her voice - over role in The Road Chip, the fourth installment in the Alvin and the Chipmunks film series . The movie was released on December 18, 2015 by 20th Century Fox . In 2016, she had a brief appeareance as an exaggerated version of herself in the action - comedy Keanu, and starred in the music video for the song "Hold On To Me" by Mondo Cozmo . In 2017, Faris voiced one of the lead characters, Jailbreak, in the 3D animated science - fiction comedy The Emoji Movie, which was universally panned by critics . </P> <P> Faris published her first book, Unqualified, in October 2017; it was described as part "memoir--including stories about being "the short girl" in elementary school, finding and keeping female friends, and dealing with the pressures of the entertainment industry and parenthood--part humorous, unflinching advice from her hit podcast ". The memoir became one of the "top 20 blockbuster books of autumn", according to Amazon, and received a positive critical response; The New York Times found the book to be "goofily self - deprecating, casually profane and occasionally raw, earnest and blunt, like Ms. Faris herself", and The Ringer remarked: "Unqualified is observant, sharp, and startlingly revealing, not only about Faris's romantic history, but of the broader discrepancies between modern male and female Hollywood stardom writ large". </P> <P> In Overboard (2018), a remake of the 1987 film of the same name starring Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell, Faris took on the role of a single, working - class mom who convinces a spoiled wealthy playboy (Eugenio Derbez) suffering from amnesia that they are married . While publications such as Indie Wire and Film Inquiry praised the chemistry between Derbez and Faris, most critics felt that the film made "poor use of the ever - charming" Faris . Her first leading film role since 2011's What's Your Number, Overboard was a commercial success, grossing over US $43 million to date . </P>
