The show opened with Mikey discussing Oprah Winfrey’s reversal on James Frey’s memoir A Million Little Pieces, noting how she moved from defending him on Larry King Live to publicly attacking him on her own program. Later, the crew staged a Fear Factor‑style contest where contestants ate live Madagascar hissing cockroaches and then competed in a pig‑blood‑filled tube challenge, with Eric narrowly beating Jesse to win UFC tickets. In a separate segment, actress Mary Lynn (Chloe from 24) talked about her work with director Paul Thomas Anderson and revealed she had held hands with Fiona Apple. The program also featured a low‑IQ haiku vocabulary game in which Ashley failed to correctly use words such as ‘precocious’ and ‘jovial’, prompting teasing from Mikey and the crew.
