Ruin This Show

"Apologies in advance; this is The Chris Gethard Show!" - Bill Florio
"This one hurt. The only show that actually went off the rails, and the night after I promoted the show on Jimmy Fallon. A heartbreaking low moment for me in the run of the show." - Chris, from the YouTube description
"I think a majority of it is pretty fun of course with some definite exceptions" - J.D. Amato, from the YouTube description
==Synopsis== (the only comedy show that won't be funny)
After plugging the show on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Chris invites fellow comedians and entertainers to help new viewers break into the show by ruining the show. The only two caveats are not to touch the panelists or the equipment.

==Quotes==
Vacation Jason: For those of you who don't know, my name is Vacation Jason. I'm a vacation expert.
Vacation Jason: I wanted to improve the show tonight by sharing some of my New Year's resolutions. Here we go. Go on more vacations. Take some much-needed off time. Relax. Chill out some more. Hang loose. Chris: I like how you knew that this show was the only way you were getting this character on the show.
Vacation Jason: I wanna invite everyone in the world to get googy. I wanna define getting googy. 
Vacation Jason: I wanna get to work on finally releasing my much anticipated island hip-hop mixtape, "Coconut Berry Lemon Tree."
==Notes==
This is Riley Soloner's first time appearing on camera as Vacation Jason, although he had called into the program as that character several times in previous episodes.
This is the first time that Vacation Jason refers to himself as Chris's nemesis on camera. This bit would continue throughout the series, leading to Jason's victory over Chris in the Fusion Season 2 finale "Fight For The Fish".
