Episode notes

I think people, they need more friends. People tell me I'm their best friend or their most loyal friend. But the thing is, there's a bulldog right there. So use Jason AI, everybody. If you put it in there, you have a special license. And if used properly, you can go to the real world. Everybody check out blush, AI dating, real feelings, train you how to date and be normal. That's it. You got it. It's just the follow-up question. Sam Hilarious. What's cheating or not? The latest episode of "Hilarious" airs tonight at 10 p.m. ET/PT on CNN
