Holbrook also breaks down what went wrong with Are You There, Chelsea? How could a series based on such a hilarious book by funny lady Chelsea Handler have turned out so badly?

What did Holbrook think of little Lily's cursing fit on Modern Family? How is he coping with the approaching end of his beloved One Tree Hill? Does he believe Smash can save NBC?
