Hot Dish!
Hot Dish! is a comedy cooking interview show that dishes up hot goss and hot food with little skill, but a lot of heart. Comedians Lauren Hooberman and Colleen Brennan will [charmingly] force comedian Gwen La Roka to cook up something hot, experimental and potentially tasty. While the food is cooking (yes, real food!), there will be a high-stakes trivia challenge. You may win a prize. It might be amazing or it might be disposable underwear! And, at the end of the show, everyone will be able to try the food. Hot Dish! promises to fully entertain, bringing people together for laughter and food.
