Earwolf Synopsis[]
The co-creator and co-stars of the new Netflix original series LOVE, Paul Rust and Gillian Jacobs return on this week’s Comedy Bang! Bang! They’ll talk all about their new show in full detail (including how many butts we will see), Gillian shares what was appealing about her role as an actress, and Paul brings some fresh New No-Nos. Then, composer and lyricist Alan Thicke of Growing Pains arrives to write a theme song for Paul and Gillian’s show LOVE.
New No-Nos[]
Paul explains this segment is a take on Bill Maher's New Rules segment but Paul has taken it to another level because he is snottier and cheesier. Scott insists throughout that Paul has forgotten how to do New No-Nos properly.
