Get Up On This goes deeper

from Samantha Bee joins Katie Couric for a frank and unapologetic conversation · host Hollywood Handbook

Three weeks ago on their excellent Brandon Wardell episode, Hayes Davenport and Sean Clements had a notable segment where they did their own version of Get Up On This. The bit comes full circle as the host of Get Up On This, writer and comedian Jensen Karp, joins the boys for an episode that further explores the mimicry. As the three of them do a few rounds of getting each other up on things, Karp only heightens the absurdity of the foundational joke, consistently conceding that they are indeed better at his podcast than he is. He’s the straight man throughout, always giving genuine recommendations while Clements and Davenport use things like Devious Maids (which neither of them have actually seen) or “typing with one finger.” It’s that classic, larger-than-life, know-it-all Hollywood Handbook characterization fans recognize and love, paired with Karp’s willingness to roll with the joke that carries the episode. Plus, the return of Engineer Brett allows for some-old school engineer bashing, particularly when they discover that his shirt says, “It’s a Brett thing, you wouldn’t understand,” which is the best gift he could’ve ever given them.
