| 0:00.0 | Well, hi, welcome back. Now, this week we've added something special into our schedule or schedule. I am easy with both. We're looking back at some of the biggest Hollywood names in comedy and acting. We're revisiting Michael Serra, who shares with us how he found acting as a child. |
| 0:24.3 | Also, David Harbour, on how he landed his role in the phenomenally popular stranger things. |
| 0:30.8 | And last, and not least, one of the funniest and loveliest men in the world. |
| 0:38.4 | The huge will fell. |
| 0:40.7 | It's time to sit back, relax, and enjoy Briden and the best of Hollywood. |
| 0:50.2 | Before you joined us, we've had a technical emergency is not too strong a word oh boy it doesn't affect your end |
| 1:04.0 | oh great because but but i don't even know if i need to hear the rest yeah i justed with Michael, I just lost him when I said, didn't affect him. |
