The "Last Week Tonight with John Oliver" writer and comedian falls in love/hate with a great/bad song.
Comedian Josh Gondelman is up for an Emmy for his writing on “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.” His new comedy album, “Physical Whisper,” is out now. Listen to a tale from the album in the audio above about how he knew his girlfriend was the person he wanted to spend the rest of his life with.
