A Long Tradition of Excellence
Now that the Great American Talk Show has had two successful episodes, I think it is safe to say that TGATS can offer you a long tradition of talk-show excellence. Our host Alexander Doubet and his cohorts Alasdair Wilkins and Kevin Burrows brought an exciting thirty minutes to the table in today's episode. It was out of control. Missed it? Never fear. You can listen to it in its entirety here: TGATS 10.5.08.
Special thanks to our producer, Alyce de Carteret.
Today's topics included hip-hop ballets, an upcoming Muppets movie (interrobang?!), and fine fettles.
We also aired an interview with Forgetting Sarah Marshall director Nicholas Stoller. Check it out!
