This week on Breaking Bread Chelsea Peretti joins Tom in the studio. They discuss all things comedy: being lonely on tour, the changing Hollywood landscape, and most importantly, smoking during writer's room breaks. Chelsea also shares about her experience directing her first movie, "First Time Female Director." If we're lucky, pretty soon Chelsea will cast Tom in something. Enjoy!

Catch Chelsea's directorial debut "First Time Female Director" on the Roku Channel.
