Season premiere tonight on ABC and stream next day on Hulu.

Fall never arrives all at once. First the air, then the light, and slowly the things you love begin to find each other. A jacket meets a dress, a hoodie slips beneath a blazer, an old cap finds a new scarf. Because you don't simply step into the season, you create it layer by layer until it finally feels like fall. Find fall your way at Ross.

Ike Barinholtz (1:32)

By the way, just so I know, what side were you on in World War II?

We see who comes out on top and wins a very special prize. The great Mitch Hedberg once said, a good comedian says funny things. A great comedian says things funny. If that's the case, my guest sitting next to me is a good and great comedian.

It was the best. I thought this was the second year.

Ike Barinholtz (2:59)

Second year?

Rory Scovel (2:59)

I thought I went last year.

I went this year. This was the first time. And also I stayed the whole week. And this was the first time I did the burn on Saturday night.

Ike Barinholtz (3:08)

Okay.

Rory Scovel (3:09)

And yeah, it is the most fun I've ever had in my life.

Ike Barinholtz (3:16)

First of all, were you solo? Were you with...?

Rory Scovel (3:18)

No, I went with the... So when I went last year, I went with a buddy.

Ike Barinholtz (3:20)

Got it.

Rory Scovel (3:21)

Great writer, actor, comedian, Cory LaCossack. I went with him into like his camp.

Ike Barinholtz (3:27)

Okay.

Rory Scovel (3:28)

And he's invited me every year and I could never make it. I used to make fun of Burning Man. And he goes, have you ever gone? And I was like, I haven't. And he goes, I think you'd actually really love it. And then he kind of showed me some videos that don't totally do it justice, but it was enough for me to go, oh wait, I was picturing some whole other thing. Right, right. And finally it just happened to work out schedule wise that I could go.

And he could not have been more correct. His camp of people, they're all awesome.

Ike Barinholtz (3:54)

How many people in the camp?

Rory Scovel (3:55)

Last year we had about eight. This year a lot of people couldn't make it. And I think we had a total of five or six. Some people got there late, some people got there early.
