In a few short minutes, comedian, Tom Rosenthal will be creating his own first impression on a blind date with Anna, a genuine, real-life single member of the human race that we’re all supposedly a part of To ensure total mastery of his domain, Katherine Ryan and I will be monitoring Tom’s every move and word in a way that will somehow not be creepy or wrong or like the film, Slither, using a whole heap of technical shears not usually employed for amorous endeavors This is how all dates should be conducted This is very nice The double kiss
