Episode 77: Eurovision 1956

We're going back to Switzerland to go back to the very beginning of Eurovision itself! Special guest Bridger Winegar (Corporate, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Jimmy Kimmel Live!) joins us for the Eurovision Grand Prix of 1956, and the many precedents that are set almost 70 years ago that still persist to this day. Jeremy's like this every night, Dimitry can't take all the birds, Bridger has had enough of all these flags, and Oscar stans the very first gay icon of the ESC.Watch a reconstructed version of ESC 1956 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGdLnhMfScsThis week's companion playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4fMh5gomcSIRuGRrNUQ52j Thanks to everyone who participated in this year's MaxFunDrive!
