Meet Zach Sherwin, comedic rapper, writer, and former scribe behind the rhymes on The CW's hit show Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. You might also recognize Zach from his epic throwdowns on the YouTube series Epic Rap Battles of History.
Zach and Dennis discuss the strange jobs comedians take on (because, let's be honest, comedy doesn't always pay the bills). They also explore Zach's lifelong love of language, from spelling bees to hip hop. Zach reveals how his Jewish heritage surprisingly influenced his love of rap, and how he went from college comedy groups to open mics in Boston, eventually landing in LA.
Later, they delve into the symbolism of numbers and wordplay in Jewish culture, and Zach shares more about his experience on Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.
Get ready to laugh and learn alongside these two comedy wordsmiths!

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
