Earwolf Synopsis[]
While it is impossible to replace Scott Aukerman, Paul F. Tompkins does a better job than any. On this episode he does the whole Paul-F-Tompkins-thing until his grandma’s get there to teach us a little bit about Paul’s upbringing. Paul also brings on his friend from the highly underrated (in this nerds opinion) show It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Kaitlin Olson, who teaches us a bit about working with a depressed alcoholic version of the Gentleman Tompkins.
Summary[]
Jeremy Carter and Matt Gourley play Paul's grandmothers as characters that had previously appeared on Superego. Mark McConville's Janice Caaf character also originated on Superego .
Kelsey Grammer Presents The Sketch Show is discussed at some length. Paul and Kaitlin, both cast members on the show, agree that it was not a very good show.
