John Crist: From Rock Bottom to Recovery | Sadie Robertson Huff
Comedian @johnbcrist joins Sadie in studio for a heart-to-heart, but first, he wants to know why Sadie left him on "read" for 7 years! Sadie asks John how he got started in comedy and where the line is with the jokes he tells. John recently celebrated five years sober, and he opens up about his rock bottom moment, when the whole world knew all about his mistakes, and how he's so glad he's on the other side of it now — walking in freedom, with restored relationships and authenticity. And does John have any jokes about Sadie? You bet he does! Watch John's comedy special "Emotional Support" on YouTube.
