Summary

At the height of his career, country music megastar Garth Brooks took a big swing by transforming himself into an alt-rock singer named Chris Gaines, complete with eye liner, tight pants, and a soul patch. Gaines was supposed to be Brooks' ticket to Hollywood, with a greatest hits album and major motion picture to follow... the only problem was, everyone hated him. On this episode of The Big Flop, comedians Sarah Tiana (44) and Dusty Slay (We're Having a Good Time) join Misha to unfurl the saga of Chris Gaines, Garth Brooks' emo alter ego. It's not a phase, Mom!
