Summary

Late-night talk shows adhere to a form: a host behind a desk, pre-produced interviews, and tightly choreographed bits. Chris Gethard wants to break that form apart. With absurd gags like getting dunked in ice water or staying awake for 36 hours, Gethard wants to disarm his celebrity guests and put his viewers in charge. Gethard's new season of The Chris Gethard Show airs Thursday nights at 11 p.m. Eastern on truTV. In the Spiel, the fatberg of London. Learn more about your ad choices.

0:45.0	I didn't know what to think about it, because I knew there was nothing there.
0:48.2	And we had trouble finding out what was really going on.
0:53.5	And so I was just dumbfounded.
