Greta Schmitt was the first person to come in-studio and just hang out, and even though there’s some initial hesitation it’s clear how hilarious and natural this element of the show was going to be. I’d heard her talk about Hocus before, and thought it was such an absurd story that it had to be told on air. I love how genuine these moments are: someone telling something mildly embarrassing from their life that simply couldn’t be made up, like a clown who comes to your house once a year and performs the same tricks over and over. The point where Greta’s sister is actually asking for Hocus not to come is beyond funny to me, and him selling phones at Sam’s Club. It’s sort of heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time.
