  • The Dream Team of David and Tony 5

    This show is amazing, I believe David fills in for Jim but if Jim ever decides to move on, it should be give to these two! I mix of serious discussion, interviews and then surreal with his foreign correspondent. Always entertaining, sometimes irrational but always hilarious!
