Shownotes Transcript

Legendary comedian Darrell Hammond joins Adam today with a fascinating discussion on his many years on SNL, and his spectacular impressions of Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Trump and so many more. He shares how being naturally talented with the comedic gene, and the fortuity of being cast on SNL, likely saved his life, due to severe PTSD from a severely abusive mother and childhood growing up. Next they play the Rotten Tomatoes Game, where they guess the popularity or lack thereof of various movies.

Chris introduces the news, discussing the current chaos in Hollywood with the actors and writers striking for better pay, AI concerns, and more. Plus a spectacular video showcasing a side of the actor, Ron Pearlman that no one would want to be on the receiving end of. We also get to witness Adam and Dr. Drew break down an interesting Newsweek article that’s targeted towards Adam.
