Two late night hosts! Jesse talks to John Oliver about why it’s sometimes weird to make jokes about American politics when you’re a Brit, and how he got used to living in New York. Then Jesse sits down with one of the most iconic late night hosts ever: Arsenio Hall. He’ll explain why he’s back after almost 20 years. Plus, the folks from Wham Bam Pow will talk about why you should go back and watch ‘Cloud Atlas’ and ‘Back to the Future 2’. Tim Simons, the actor you might know as Jonah on HBOs ‘Veep’, will explain how he got The Part. Lastly, Jesse will tell you about a charming song that’s tough to find on CD. But that’s OK because we’re going to play the whole thing for you.
