I love how involved Kurt Russel gets with the other guests and their stories. Gentleman.

[@omegagiga43]

Tina Fey's a fantastic storyteller. Something about the way she delivers her lines and recount what happened is what makes it all so hilarious.

[@CoachingHigher]

Yep, but she has great delivery too. However long her stories, you're wide awake until the end@Ulysses432

[@danny2812]

Love how Kurt Russel is just LIVING for Tina's stories 😁😁😁

[@greeneyedthing]

Kurt russell is so happy to be on the couch 😂

he, like most men, is just hypnotized by Tina.

"Like a young Martina Navratilova" Fantastic.

[@GirGir183]

What does that tina fey mean? he's nothing like martina navratilova. what a nonsense comment to make. the audience are so stupid to laugh at such a stupid comment. what a stupid pack of brain-dead sheep the norton audience are. and they are EVERY week. Shame on them all for being so weak.
