John Henson (Talk Soup, Wipe Out) stops by the show to talk about his start in comedy, growing up in a chaotic household, getting kicked out of public high school, dabbling in illegal activities, finding himself in a Bahamian crack house, his relationship with his parents, his tenure at Talk Soup, turning down America’s Funniest Home Videos, Wipe Out, marriage and fatherhood, getting back into stand up, The Knicks, the guy who got a John Henson Project tattoo and so much more. We also took your questions over Twitter and did a round of Just Me Or Everyone.

what a fantastic episode. Never knew there was so much behind John…I loved talk soup throughout the 90’s
Though Talk Soup totally passed me by, I enjoyed watching him with my daughter on Wipe Out and on Worst Cooks Celebrity Edition (even though it only caught my eye because of Mindy Cohn). What a great interview. Just want to give him a big hug.
