Original release	2009 (2009) – 2012 (2012)

The show's segments included celebrity interviews, news, pop culture, and music. The duo was referred to as the "gay Lewis and Clark of the airwaves"^[4] by Modern Tonic, and their on-air rapport had been labeled a "mas macho" version of Ryan Seacrest and Simon Cowell from American Idol by Entertainment Weekly.^[5]
