Private Eye

Comedian Rob Corddry tells the story of a detective confronted with the biggest case of his career: a stolen soul. He'd heard of stolen hearts. Heck, he'd stolen plenty of those himself. But a stolen soul? The case stank of metaphysics and liturgy, two things that weren't his beat. Tune in to find out how he solves the mystery.

Plus, suffering from temporary loss of vision, Jonathan calls up a TV watching service for the blind. Featuring Gregor Ehrlich and Sean Cullen.
