Trivia is the sweetest thing on a brand new episode of Go Fact Yourself!

In this episode…

Guests:

Sherry Cola has appeared in shows like “Good Trouble” on Netflix and films like Joy Ride. But she actually got her start on the radio, thanks to Carson Daly. She’ll tell us why it was a bit of a humbling, but important, experience and explain why she’s not a competitive person. 

Greg Proops is an actor and comedian, perhaps best known for his years on “Whose Line is it Anyway?” His new comedy album, French Drug Deal is available now. He’ll tell us how he came up with the title and why he decided to improvise his entire set. You can hear Greg on his podcast “The Smartest Man in the World.”

Areas of Expertise

Sherry: The film A Walk to Remember, the film The Sweetest Thing, and the San Gabriel Valley.
