Break out the nutcrackers and fire up the karaoke because we’re breaking down A Benihana Christmas. This is a supersize episode and we’re bringing on not one but TWO amazing guests! Actress Rashida Jones and writer Jen Celotta join us to share their memories and insights of this episode. We deep dive on the history of Benihana, and we talk about The Party Planning Committee v. The Committee to Plan Parties. Finally, we answer fan questions around Angela Martin’s siblings, some continuity errors, and who got a Dundie for ‘Tallest Music Dude’.
