This Martellus Bennett interview saved an unscripted late-night show during a blizzard

The Late Late Show with Jim Gaffigan got weird Jan. 30 -- really weird. A blizzard forced CBS to air the show with a skeleton crew, leaving guest hosts Adam Pally and Ben Schwartz to piece together things as best they could. It featured an interview with Bears tight end Martellus Bennett that one might say “went off the rails,” but it was never on the rails to begin with.

These are the best moments:
