Very Important People
Hi. I'm Anna Garcia, the reigning champion of VIP, and I'm here today to beat the out of Vic Michaelis. Today, we're giving this comedian a total transformation. This is already crazy. They have no idea who or what they're about to become. I love it. Once they see themselves in the mirror, they'll have to make up a character on the spot and then sit down with me for an improvised interview. You're kidding. This is Very Important People.
