The Second Column is a weekly comedy podcast that features four improvisational actors who trade stories and jokes with their favorite comics, actors, writers and musicians in Los Angeles. The show is driven by its cast – Michael Costantini, Joe Donatelli, Carlos Jaime and Sean Kearney. The longtime friends and improvisers have a chemistry that makes each episode fun for that week’s guest – and the audience.
Episode 67: How I Almost Choked To Death On Salad Dressing With Alysia Wood
Second Column host, Joe Donatelli, asked on air how Alysia’s date with another cast member went. No one in the studio thought things would go where they did. This clip is after Sean stepped on a landmine… Mike left the table… Alysia and Sean both rip off their headphones… Alysia hyperventilates from laughing and crying… while Joe tries to maintain order and Carlos continues to stir the pot.
It was edited before it aired (so at points it may not make sense why the entire cast is in hysterics) but it’s still certainly worth a listen. One crucial edit, is the song referenced, is replaced with another song, making the “big deal” rather confusing.
