Claim 9: “Their local AU Review wrote “…[Aukerman] interviews a person of note, who appear as themselves, alongside a line-up of comedians who appear as characters. What happens is unscripted, and in the case of this evening, saw Scott and his four guests – who he gradually introduced to the set – beautifully play off one and other and go down a variety of roads – some involving incredibly, deliberately drawn out stories (see Mike Hanford’s Calvin Redding unnecessarily detailed bank robbery), and others surprisingly… let’s say, perverted, for lack of a better word (Lauren Lapkus’ Traci Rearden and something involving feet and orgasms?).””
