They only got eight minutes that was so rushed its fucking insane and then “real celebrities” get way more time I’d rather hear what they have to say then what celebrities do that’s wild 😮

As someone who has watched Joe since the early days, I never in a million years picture him on a late night prime time television show.

The Basement Boys! Please come to the Bay Area, CA!
Seth having them on has made up for when he had Blake Lively
on trying to gaslight us DV survivors that she's a victim too.
