The Break Room with Tommy, Duffy and Kimmy is...well, what can you say about this show? This is the show Rochester turns to when it wants to laugh, to look at the real world situations going on all around us and get a real perspective. How they get away with some of the things they say and do is something the FCC is still looking into, and a reason why their boss has gone prematurely grey.
