Greg Proops is an actor and comedian, perhaps best known for his years on Whose Line is it Anyway? He’ll tell us how he came up with the title and why he decided to improvise his entire set. You can hear Greg on his podcast “The Smartest Man in the World.” His new comedy album, Purple Shasta Raccoonis available now.

Sherry Cola has appeared in shows like Good Trouble on Netflix and films like Joy Ride. But she actually got her start on the radio, thanks to Carson Daly. She’ll tell us why it was a bit of a humbling, but important, experience and explain why she’s not a competitive person.


Greg - 1980s San Francisco Giants

Sherry - the film 'The Sweetest Thing'
