347. Clowning Around with Natalie Palamides & Chad Damiani

First the bad news: the network has decided to cut the Office Hours budget and therefore has let host Tim Heidecker go. The good news: they've decided to bring in comedy legend Paul Scheer (Dark Web, Piranha 3D) to be the new host because he works cheap and is a team player. DJ Douggpound and Vic Berger remain co-hosts. The first episode of the revamped show still features your favorite segments including some incredible Dopps, a double Wellness Check with President Trump and Richard Dreyfus, and of course you on zoom!
