Co-hosts Eric Newman, Medaya Ocher, and Kate Wolf are granted an audience with his Holiness, the King of Filth, John Waters. Speaking about his new memoir Mr. Know-It-All: The Tarnished Wisdom of a Filth Elder, Waters opens up about the importance of understanding the business of show business, remaining committed to your vision, and believing, against all odds, that you’ll be a success. Along the way, Waters talks about sex, politics, and Eric's memory of meeting him at a urinal during a Hairspray! intermission.
