Join Scott and his very special guest, comedian Jeff D'Silva, as they discuss Jeff's amazing story of getting to work at one of television's funniest late night shows. The year was 2010: At the same time Conan O'Brien was realizing his dream of hosting the Tonight Show, Jeff saw his dream of interning for Conan being realized as well, but both of those dreams quickly came crashing down with the news that Jay Leno was returning as host The Tonight Show. Listen as Jeff recounts his surreal experience of having one of the biggest shakeups in television history shape the future of, not only one of his comedic idols, but himself as well. Of course, the story doesn't end there! Jeff also talks about getting another chance, this time interning at the TBS show "Conan", and his amazing experience working closely with some of late night's funniest and most creative minds. There's also some talk about the disastrous Jay Leno Show and Jeff shares the story of his celebrity-filled brush with death (ok, maybe minor injury). Enjoy the show!
