Rory Albanese

Date: 2017-02-28 | Duration: 2h 2m

Episode Overview

Comedian Rory Scovel joins Joe for a two-hour episode packed with political commentary, dating stories, and comedy shop talk. They open with mock outrage at Kellyanne Conway putting her feet on the Oval Office couch, then spiral into riffs about how the same gesture from Obama would have generated completely different reactions. Scovel — known for his improvisational stand-up style and his role in 'The Righteous Gemstones' — shares a mortifying story about ladies' underwear discovered in his suitcase during travel, discusses the strange experience of being recognized in public by people who follow you silently rather than approaching, and debates whether Pornhub and BuzzFeed represent the majority of internet traffic. The conversation has the loose, improvisational feel of two comedians genuinely enjoying each other's company.
