EPISODE SUMMARY:
Sometimes the harsh brightness of the spotlight makes it hard to distinguish the real person behind the art that they make. Beloved entertainers can become whatever their audience needs them to be. But there are certainly two figures who have gone to great lengths to make their true selves known to the world. American rock icon Jackson Browne channeled the deepest nuances of his heartbreak and personal loss into his 1976 album The Pretender. And while Bob Saget was long been known as a heartwarming father figure of 1990s television, he has always been uniquely gifted in his dark and witty stand-up comedy.
