Let’s talk to actor and comedian C.J. Walton about what’s funny. What’s OK to say on stage? Has comedy changed over the years? Could Joan Rivers or Whoopi say things then she couldn’t say now? How about young girls? Are they brave enough to be funny? We laugh throughout this episode but we also discuss her serious side – C.J. also has a role as nurse Eleanor in the new ABC drama, 911 Nashville.
