TCB Infomercial: Russell Howard

As an American, you have to find it. You have to understand what, what does Peckham mean? Like, how does it fit here? You know? So it's, I don't know that it's, it's, it's an interesting thing for Robbie Williams, but then he does like stadiums in the UK. He's so big that he probably just was like, I'll be a bit fun. Bit of a laugh.

The Commercial Break
TCB Infomercial: Russell Howard

But I, I've always had, whether because some Americans have found me out and they're excited that I'm there, but I've always noticed the audiences more than meeting me halfway and kind of, they've seen loads of my stuff on YouTube or Netflix and,
