"Here's the thing about it ... it's a full hour,"

Jenna pointed out, to which Craig replied, "I know," before admitting, "I could probably watch some of it."

Recognition of Jenna's Influence

Although Craig hasn’t actually watched the show, he acknowledged the significant impact Jenna has made on it.
