Summary
President Trump told reporters he might bomb Iranian oil facilities for the fun of it, Pete Hegseth is mad at the media for accurately reporting on the war, and the president is having trouble remembering his favorite catchphrases. Tony-winners Trey Parker, Matt Stone and Robert Lopez created an obscenity-riddled Broadway musical so funny that even the Mormon Church itself got in on the joke. GRAMMY-winner Andrew Rannells shares his personal recollections about auditioning for the role of Elder Price in the original Broadway production of “The Book of Mormon,” and says audiences never get upset by the spicy lyrics. Check out our YouTube page for a performance by Andrew Rannells and the Broadway company of “The Book of Mormon!”
