Should We Send A Thank You Card?

Sometimes the Morning Scramble messes up. They say the wrong words, or maybe their mouths just won’t work. Producer Ben has been keeping track of those moments and likes to keep Clare and Eric humble by sharing the best of their worst bloopers.

Court is in session tomorrow morning as Clare and Eric argue the existence of Thank You notes.
