Samantha Shahi On Why Timelines Are A Fallacy Explicit

Hosted by Bridget Phetasy

Samantha Shahi (aka Sammy Flap-n-Folds to the Dumpster Fire crowd) finally, finally sits down with Bridget to discuss her journey from Texas to LA, being a marching band nerd, how she fell in love with producing, and the shocking secret reason she minored in Women’s Studies. They cover the litany of jobs Sam’s had since she moved here, what she’s learned along the way, where her true passion lies, and Bridget makes Sam tell the story that demonstrates how Type A she actually is. What do you do when your brain commits hate crimes against you? Did Bridget actually rescue Sam from a cult? Was Sam a sacrificial virgin thrown into a volcano in a past life? It’s all covered in this week’s episode.

“Join or Die” with Craig Ferguson and various guests “chat about historical topics, current events and provocative ideas.” Per the promo at History.com , it will be based on facts, “unlike the news.” Ferguson’s late night show was too late for me, but this history show might be fun.

After David Letterman made the announcement yesterday that he’ll be stepping down from the Late Show next year, Twitter was abuzz with both tributes to Dave’s reign and speculation about his successor.

I’ll demur somewhat on the former point. I have extremely fond memories of Dave during his Late Night days at NBC and the earlier years of his CBS gig, but, on the occasions when I’ve watched in recent years, it’s hard to escape the conclusion that the man’s famous penchant for misery has infected the entire show. The Late Show seems increasingly like a chore. (By contrast, I’d recommend Letterman’s recent appearance on Jerry Seinfeld’s web series, “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee,” where he came off as surprisingly loose and funny).
