Adam has a decent Ebola/downtime intro from Dawson and Lynch, Alison’s “Soul mate Yay” drop is of course the #TopDrop and Adam welcomes Tom Cotter to the show.
Adam is trying to explain the essence of comedy and how positive comments don’t fly when trying to get a laugh.
Alison explains that Howie asked her about her marriage off air and she wasn’t enthusiastic enough so he deiced her marriage was jeopardy.
