Well, 'hosting' used loosely, of course. I guess I meant more how he can dial things up or down depending on who he's talking to/what about, i.e. the more serious tone of the most recent Todd Glass episode.

Yeah, can't say I agree with any of this generally, and some of the examples you chose are frankly bizarre: you're seriously looking to HARRIS for sincerity? And Andy Daly is one of the few who Scott DOES consistently try to throw off with bits/irrelevant side questions, purely cos he knows Daly can handle it. I'm a bit surprised how anyone could call themselves a fan of the show and not give kudos to Scott for his mercurial hosting abilities, tbh.

Glad to see the Tony Macaroni love...on balance may be my fave of the year, or at least tied with Sex Party Season, both of which I've relistened to multiple times. My full list: Ep #263 - Hollywild (Ben Schwartz, Horatio Sanz) Ep #266 - The Calvins Twins (Taran Killam, Paul Brittain) Ep #272 - Sex Party Season (Gillian Jacobs, Paul F. Tompkins) Ep #286 - Time Bobby 3 (Bobby Moynihan, Paul F. Tompkins) Ep #289 - The Exorcism of Cake Boss (Paul F. Tompkins, Matt Gourley) Ep #300 - Oh, Golly! You Devil (Jason Mantzoukas, Andy Daly) Ep #301 - They're Twins Jonah! (Jonah Ray, Kumail Nanjiani & Brendon Small) Ep #309 - Tony Macaroni (Nick Kroll, Jimmy Pardo & Claudia O'Doherty) Ep #310 - Little Button Puss (Kevin Allison, Pamela Murphy & John Gemberling) Ep #320 - Charging Kids (Alex Borstein, Brendon Small & Molly Bretthauer) - a late favourite, narrowly edging out Only Tones, the most recent Benny Schwazz/Horatio Sanz and the Birthday Womptacular. Seeing them all together like that only highlights what a phenomenal year IIIIIIT'S BEEN for the show - and I thought nothing could've topped last year's stellar run. Thank you, CBB, for many years of joyful Mondays!

Except clearly it wasn't clear to you from the robot, since you then typed out the longest post I've ever seen on this forum - which you clearly did want/expect him to read. Sure, it would have been nice to have a better opponent (Matt was right, he lost the whole thing with his very first point) but Case Closed means case closed.

Wow, AMAZING episode. Alex was on fire. Have her back asap! Also, anyone else catch Victor's "Always a pleasure to see Jew" at the end?

The wanting an episode scrapped in-joke pretty much has to be the Mohr one, right? And could the turning up early to a party be directed at Besser himself too? Or a mutual acquaintsch at one they were both at?... So many questions! This ep needs a Commentary Special.

Ooh, snap! Yeah, the accents were a wee bit suspect - kind of wish Pam Murphy had been there after she demonstrated her near-flawless brogue on CBB last month!

Phew, for a moment there I thought that read C-. Which would obviously have been madness.

I am! (Would be interested in hearing from others too!) It was indeed very good, as were some of the expressions she used which seemed very "authentic Irish Granny" (Grandma)

This was for sure the giddiest episode I've heard in some time - but thankfully also genuinely hilarious all the way through. Gemberling's wholly unexpected "United 93" line (and the subsequent reaction in the room) slayed me!!

Something like 90% of the comments on The AV Club's review of the album seem to UTU2TM? references - and I fuckin' love it http://www.avclub.co...e-its-pr-209161 AMAZING ep!

Parts of Dublin were under lockdown yesterday to shoot a new music video by Mark Romanek - many suspect the lovable lads from Liverpool may have been involved...

Just to add my voice to the chorus: this really is peerless podcasting, my favourite episode out of insanely strong contenders. Bravo to all involved.

Just reached the halfway mark; thought Horatio seemed a bit off? But Zach Woods was (as always) ON FIRE - that judge line slayed me!

I think you're conflating a couple of different ones; the bad comedian @ the child's birthday party was Andy Daly's (now deceased) Ben Alterman character; the episode with "THE END" was the much more recent Coco Marx/Ben Schwartz episode - the first of this year, I believe...

What a tour de force from Andy Daly!! He IS God

I hereby wish to propose that the Choctaw and PFT star in a U.S. remake of The Trip... you know it makes sense!
