Taped in front of a live studio audience, hosts Tanisha Thomas (Oxygen's "Bad Girls Club") and Ben Aaron (WNBC's "New York Live"), inject their raw and hilarious banter into the absurd, ridiculous, and most-watched TV clips that viewers can't resist watching.
"Crazy Talk" welcomes some of the standout guests featured in these memorable clips to provide the inside scoop behind their crazy moments.
