Bullseye with Jesse Thorn

The Craziest Day of My Entire Career is a segment where we talk with some of our favorite people in pop culture and ask them about some truly wild stories. This time around, we're joined by comedian Greg Proops. His latest stand up album is called Kidding. But Still. Greg is a very hard working comic with a bunch of upcoming tour dates. His craziest day? It wasn't on the road or at a taping of Whose Line. Greg gets into the time he was cast in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace and being on set with George Lucas.
