Every Family's Got One
Every Family’s Got One (EFGO) is devoted to telling true family stories. There’s nothing like family. We see each other at our noblest and nastiest – across the dinner table, on the Disney cruise, at our cousin’s wedding, and other mundane backdrops of family life where emotions run wild – and the most entertaining often-told family stories are created. Hosted by funny people Barbara Herel & Tony Mennuto (of NBC’s sketch comedy group Live On Tape), EFGO brings you family stories, from amazing storytellers, that are hilarious, cringeworthy, and unexpected. If you had to pass along one family story, what would you tell?

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
