About Crazy Talk:

Crazy Talk is a fast-paced, laugh-out-loud comedic show which raises an eyebrow on the most outlandish and sometimes bizarre moments across the rapidly growing reality television landscape. Hosts Tanisha Thomas (Bad Girls Club, Girlfriend Intervention) and Ben Aaron (New York Live) will inject their raw and hilarious banter into the absurd, ridiculous, and most watched TV clips that viewers can't resist watching. The show will welcome back some of the stand-out guests featured in these memorable clips to provide the inside scoop behind their crazy moments. Aaron will also venture outside the studio, roaming the city, to bring viewers his signature "Man on the Street" segments. Crazy Talk is taped at the Stamford Media Center on a newly designed state of the art set, allowing the hosts to spontaneously interact with the studio audience. The show is produced and distributed in the U.S. by NBCUniversal Domestic Television Distribution. Paul Faulhaber serves as the show's Executive Producer.
