It's Bullseye. I'm Jesse Thorne.

Look, I've been in what we call The Biz for a long time.

And if there's one thing that I know, it's that you have some crazy days.

bonkers days at work in the entertainment industry.

It's a segment called The Craziest Day of my entire career.

Our guest, Mike Drucker, is a comedy writer and stand-up who just wrote the book,

Good Game, No Rematch. It's part memoir, part exploration of the history of video games,

a topic which Drucker knows like the

back of his hand. And Drucker has some real stories. He's written for full frontal with Samantha

B. Bill Nye saves the world. Adam ruins everything, Saturday Night Live. As a stand-up, he's toured

the country, played more venues than he can count. Lots of successes, lots of opportunities to see and experience wild stuff.
