Keya was also one of only a handful of people in the world to be in the room when Evan gave his NYU marketing presentation that inspired him to pursue comedy! Does she remember it? Plus, we hear about the time she asked Evan and his wife if they wanted to go on the Divorce Court. All that and the arrival of Mason Castle Productions. Big things on the way!
