In the Deep South we did most of the same things kids across the country were doing but with a Southern drawl.

In January of 2008, a live version of Dr. Katz was staged with the original lineup and featured BJ Novak, Eugene Mirman, and Andy Kindler as the guest-star patients. This is the result.

These three simple words changed Danny's life forever. Yes Man is the story of what happened when Danny decided to say YES to everything.
