What’s Happening At This Years Oscars???

Producer Ben Can Take On The Creature!

Moms and Dads make the rules and different households have different rules. This week’s ‘Momtroversy’ is about television: What kids’ show is banned at your house?

Last week Producer Ben revealed that Gotye “Somebody I Used to Know” is a song that he likes to listen to when he’s sad because it makes him cry. The Morning Scramble is competing in another “Three Song Showdown” based on that confession. What are your top 3 cry songs?

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.
