"What we're making fun of is the Christian culture that kind of builds up around those things and around the gospel and around the biblical message."

Eventually, his dad developed a problem with alcoholism — and, over the years, Romano, a former ESPN producer, said that it sparked family problems and chaos. Here's how he overcame that all.
