Set: Chevy opened with disability and disability-adjacent humor, including a joke about being denied entry to the Special Olympics due to a felony, and material about selling cocaine in Youngstown, Ohio.

Set: Yusuf discussed the lack of dollar stores in LA compared to Cleveland, fake plastic wrap, and his work wiping elderly people's asses at a day health care center.

Interview: Tony and panel explored his job as an ass wiper, discussed pay and conditions, and ultimately suggested he should focus comedy material on the ass-wiping job rather than dollar stores.

Set: Todd opened with Idaho potato/meth jokes, then discussed his mother comparing him to Matt Damon and being called 'Todd risen gay' as a kid.

Set: Vanessa performed dark material about white phosphorus chemical weapons used in Iraq and their birth defects, compared the imagery to Monsters Inc, and made a joke about suicide bombers needing talent.

Interview: Tony and panel suggested her Iraq/white phosphorus material is too dark without the context of being funny, and encouraged her to develop punchlines more carefully and explore different topics beyond current news.

Set: Ali performed about having a sex dream involving her father, awkward hugging, wet dreams about microwaved mac and cheese, and a callback punchline about eating mac and cheese off her dad's body.

Interview: Discussion of her 21-year-old age, Long Beach origin (562 area code), whether her mom watches the show, Tony's impression of Kurt Cobain, and her building a comedy streak.

Set: Tam performed in an unusual format where Jeremiah Watkins mouthed/voiced the jokes while Tam performed physical comedy, covering Asian suicide rates, iPhone ownership, and a fetus-unlocking-phone joke about determining baby gender.

Interview: Discussion of the bit format, Tam's father being an animatronic, Vietnamese heritage, and continued physical comedy performance with Brody Stevens joining in commentary.

Interview: Moshe discussed his New Year's Eve show in Bay Area with various comedians, his recent marriage to Natasha Leggero, his involvement in Portlandia sketch (sign language/Jehovah's Witness bit), and provided coaching feedback to performers throughout the episode.
