We love working with Chris Linn, Marissa Ronca, Simmy Kustanowitz and the entire truTV family, and we look forward to expanding and growing our partnership until they realize\u2014truly realize\u2014what they\u2019ve gotten themselves into. None of this is possible without our amazing, talented and overly-dedicated TV crew, our crack team of reps and, most importantly, our dedicated fans. And now to work with Chris Henchy and the Funny Or Die team, we feel like we\u2019re making the movie with a similar brand of good people.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019m very excited to be working with truTV, Sal, Joe, Quinn and Murray,&#8221;
