Chris Gethard tells us his Top 10 Reality Escapes of 2016

“If there’s one thing I enjoyed doing during a year like this, it was consistently escaping into various aspects of pop culture so I could forget both the omnipresent personal fear (2016 was a great year for me professionally but I do not respond to success well, so I spent a lot of time participating actively in escapism) and the overall looming fears of the world becoming scarier.” – Geth
