Best Damn Follow-Up

Monday's episode of Best Damn explained their April Fool's joke. The producers called Tom Arnold and asked him to pull this joke on Strahan, Dibble and Rodney. Chris Rose was in on it, but the other three weren't. Tom Arnold called up Strahan on the side and told him what was going on, and told him of his plan to take it a step further. First of all, Dibble said he was sure it was a joke, but in the commercial he grabbed Chris Rose's notecards and the cards were straight so he started to believe it. So everything was going fine, then Tom poked Strahan in the face and Chris Rose had no idea, that was not in the plan they had arranged. The show is taped, so right after Strahan fell down squealing about his shoulder he popped up and him and Tom had a good laugh. And if no producers truly were in on that part, they still decided to let that be the end of the show. A pretty good joke. Much better than last year's when they brought in a supposed steroid expert who was working on a new test which required Salley and Rodney to do a bunch of stupid shit, culminating in them having to pull down their pants. Salley and Rodney refused, but guest host Arsenio Hall agreed and on his boxers were the words "April Fools."
