Cheesy Anniversaries (w/ Alex Moffat)

Headgum & Nicole Byer
About this episode

Comedian Alex Moffat (SNL) joins Nicole to discuss how his relationship is thanks to Velveeta cheese. This episode isn’t sponsored by Velveeta—but we really wish it was. Alex shares how he met his wife at a Velveeta commercial, how the cheese played an essential part in his proposal, and why it’s now a staple of their anniversary. He also discusses his pole dancing skills, bombing at a Nicole Byer comedy show, being an acrodunker for the Chicago Bulls, and shares some of the worst dating advice we've heard on the show.
