You can tell that the guys weren't quite sure what they could say/do around Aisha Tyler during their first season together. Once they knew her better (and vice versa) they all loosened up a bit. I'm really enjoying her and the dynamic she has with the rest of the cast now.

@@bluejello2001 na im sorry, she isn't part of the cast like Drew was. Aisha is a good looking B-lister.

[@inanimatesum4945]

Just sad to see something that would fly by at a normal place like a theater or comedy club. Then once you post it on tv just slap that censor on the job, who does waste money paying, the space to record because they are stopping the show and time. Like there was an episode where Drew made sure to warn the 4 that they had a pastor and a 6 year old there but then commented they should have also checked the show they got tickets to. Just give Drew the censoring job and I'm sure there's things he would take to heart and mind cause its his job on the line now.
