Late Night Talk Show! at 18th and Union

/

Everything’s Fine Tonight LIVE! w/ Jordan is Seattle’s own late-night talk show. Webster’s dictionary defines “late-night” as happening or appearing late at night, and “talk show” as a program in which persons engage in discussions or are interviewed. Webster, we couldn’t have said it better ourselves! This show has it all: a guest, a desk, and a host. Oh! And also jokes. (Can’t believe we almost forgot the jokes.) This month features the hilarious Grace Penzell of Stoner Chicks Podcast, and I guess Jordan Eskenazi… of uhh… this show. Plus, an opening set from Ben Steitzer!
