Midnight Snack: Mel’s Drive In with Paul Gilmartin

Paul Gilmartin is in the midst of a career renaissance. For the past 16 years he’s been the host of TBS’s seemingly ubiquitous Dinner and a Movie, but last year he’s traded in his family-friendly one-liners to examine the darker parts of the human soul on his self-help podcast The Mental Illness Happy Hour.
