Chris Grosso Talking With NPR’s Colin McEnroe

This week, The Washington Post published “The 20 defining comedy sketches of the past 20 years” covering television sketch comedy of the 2000s. It includes a lot of what you’d expect it to include: SNL‘s “More Cowbell” and “Black Jeopardy with Tom Hanks,” Inside Amy Schumer‘s “Last F—able Day,” Chappelle’s Show‘s “Frontline — Clayton Bigsby.”

And: For only the second time ever, The Nose has read a book. This time it’s Stephen King’s latest, The Institute. It’s a kind of science fiction horror thriller with kids in it that harkens back to a lot of classic King.
