Totally Rad!
Hosted by Ben Cassil, Alyssa Sabo · EN
Live from the year 1996, it’s the comedy talk show Totally Rad! Host Alyssa Sabo and sidekick Ben Cassil play character versions of themselves (Alyssa’s character is 16 and loves rollerblading and evangelism, Ben’s character is 37 and married), and welcome real comedian guests for interviews, jokes, and games. It’s a fun, silly talk show that will leave you feeling upbeat–as long as you don’t mention Alyssa’s sister, Jackie!
