With the focus of a cat chasing a laser pointer, "This American Wife" host Eric Martin tracks down the people who make the cat videos that distract you from your work. From AWTV in Los Angeles, it's "This American Wife."
From the creators of the hilarious podcast "This American Wife," a popular parody of "This American Life," comes a hilarious parody of the Showtime series of the same name. Each week the TAW team shines a spotlight on something annoying, amusing, and American in pop culture. This week: public radio pledge drives. They're long, they're tedious, and they occasionally involve Robert Siegel naming a cocktail.
