The 411 Challenge: Make the Operator Laugh

In this segment of The Morning X, Barnes, Leslie, and Jimmy challenge listeners to a phone game: call a 411 directory operator and make them laugh before they hang up. Tune in to hear brave callers try their best comedic tactics on stone-faced New York operators to win concert tickets. Listen as one caller roleplays a desperate "tough guy" trying to flee the country and the IRS, while another bombs with a controversial joke about Southern women. Finally, discover which simple dad-joke setup successfully breaks the ice before the punchline is even delivered, scoring one lucky listener the grand prize. This is from the Best of The Morning X vault. THE END, Entertainment News Daily, originates on The Morning X with Barnes and Crash.
