DC Pierson (of Derrick Comedy) wrote a coming-of-age sci-fi novel, The Boy Who Couldn’t Sleep And Never Had To. It’s great, and he’s currently adapting it for film. This week on The Jeff Rubin Jeff Rubin Show we discuss the process of turning books into movies, who did it best, who did it worst, and also MF Doom.

Books covered include The Godfather, Game of Thrones, True Grit, Ender’s Game, Catcher in the Rye, Fight Club, L.A. Confidential, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, Starship Troopers, and many many more.

Advanced apologies that I forgot about Prometheus.

I had so much fun doing this. When I showed up Chris and the producer JD kept reassuring me that the audience wasn’t allowed to touch the guests, even though I never asked.

TCGS #28 - Ruin This Show

Chris has to deal with the consequences after going on national television and announcing on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon that he wanted everyone to come to the next taping of TCGS and attempt to ruin the show. No touching the panel. No touching equipment. Everything else was fair game. What resulted was a cacophony of chaos as performers and audience members alike came out in droves to ruin the Chris Gethard Show. Chris’ only ally for the night was CollegeHumor’s Jeff Rubin who made his first appearance on the show and waded through the insanity with Chris. Aside from Jeff the only other rest from the chaos were the amazing and hilarious dance routines of the bad-ass Cocoon Central Dance Team. In the end, Chris asked the audience to ruin the show, and the audience delivered. Consider this show ruined.
