True Crime Obsessed
About this episode
YOU GUYS, BOB ROSS WAS TOTALLY A SEX SYMBOL...WHAT?? Anyway, not the point. Who knew that the world's most beloved painter--the guy who could paint entire landscapes in 28 minutes--had a life and legacy completely shrouded in DRAMA? Also, who knew that Gillian had a Regis ANNNNNND Kathy Lee impression? We're all going to learn a lot today. Anyway, Bob Ross was a genius who didn't deserve what happened to him. And that hair. OH. MY. GOD. That hair.
