EPIX Presents Tom Papa: Freaked Out Today

Known for his irreverent appearances on Leno, Letterman and Conan, and for hosting NBC's "The Marriage Ref," Papa stands out among his fellow comedians for his optimistic take on the mostly insane world he lives in. For his first EPIX comedy special, and his second hour-long special directed by Rocker/Director Rob Zombie, Papa tackles the hazards of churches, loose change, old age, make-up, raising women, Chinese grocery stores and magical gnomes.
