    • Vinnie had a chance to audition for the show and gives reasons why he chose not to.
    • He and Gina believe Jillian is probably behaving as directed, however:
      • It’s a horrible way to treat people who are desperate to get help.
      • The show’s whole premise comes across as trying to help but is actually humiliating to the contestants.
  • Vinnie then shares a bit about his experience training Margaret Cho and the one thing he laments about it. (27:30)
