We're Both Gonna Be Really Embarrassed (with Caleb Zeringue)

About this episode

Comedian Caleb Zeringue joins Rory to discuss his new show and the art of roast jokes.

This week, comedian Caleb Zeringue (pronounced like lemon meringue!) stops by to talk about his new show Luigi: The Musical. Rory and Caleb take turns putting their feet in their own mouths and ponder how they may both be too good at writing roast jokes. Plus, Chelsea Handler crushes at the Kevin Hart roast, the joy of writing for other people, and the importance of punching up not down.
