Stop Everything!

It’s the 10th inning! Triple play! Send in the special teams! I don’t know hockey, maybe! SORRY. New Best Thing is tomorrow and the show is coming along swimmingly. One issue though. Turns out Sean O’Connor will not be joining us as he is an extremely busy man up in Hollywood. We are definitely bummed but you will be seeing him soon enough in the coming months! For now,...

Holy smokes, new videos! This month Sam and Dan were approached by a big time TV executive, John Executive. Assuming that as comedians they have plenty of material waiting to be produced, John presents them with the opportunity of a lifetime: their very own television network.
