Plus, there will never be another show where all of our storie...

We were starstruck when we first saw Diana Danielle, but that’s because she was wearing an uber pink dress with more sparkles than an Elton John’s outfit. Nevertheless, she was charming as ever and she totally lit up the room, though her dress did help a little.

When we got two men who have absolutely no shame in saying what they want in public, we knew we were in for the ride. Rizal Van Geyzel and Jonathan Atherton, especially, were on point tonight and they became such a sellout! But, that’s because they were promoting their Crackhouse Carnival event that has a boatload of comedians performing. It’s not shameful to be a sellout if it’s...
