Episode 104: Al Madrigal

This week, Sara and Nikki reannounce the renewal of their really great TV show Nikki & Sara LIVE (thanks for watching!) before quickly introducing their guest, comedian Al Madrigal (The Daily Show, @almadrigal).  Al's new standup special Why is the Rabbit Crying? premieres on Comedy Central this Friday April 26, making this episode the perfect opportunity to reflect upon the grueling road sets and iffy TV spots that have gotten him this far.  It's "gratitude and caution", Sara points out, that keep a comic sane as he strives through those early days, dreaming of a time when he'll have earned the respect and admiration of both his peers and his cussing kid cousins.
