Summary

This week, host Jesse David Fox is not only back in the hosting seat, but he's back in the studio, too! Recorded live and edited later in New York, Jesse is joined by musical comedian Craig Robinson. Known for his roles on The Office, Eastbound and Down, and more, Craig made his mark in stand up with his trademark suits, keyboard, and deadpan delivery. Now he's the star of the new Peacock Original series, Killing It: a comedy about class, capitalism, and one man's quest to achieve the American dream. Together, Jesse and Craig chat about coming from a musical family, what it was like to play Def Jam, Will Ferrell's famous Eastbound and Down bloopers, and more. Craig even breaks out into song once or twice! Watch Killing It on Peacock. Follow Craig on Twitter and Instagram. Follow Jesse David Fox on Twitter and Instagram. Learn more about your ad choices.
