Based on Savage's all-time favorite fictional book series, THE FLARE is centered around a solar event and its effects on a small town in Illinois as the town descends into a post-apocalyptic battle for human survival. Savage interviews the star of THE FLARE, Kevin Zegers, and tensions run high.

Fred Savage's commitment to THE FLARE has him spread too thin and leads him to wanting to hire an assistant. THE MASKED SINGER judge Ken Jeong and actor Fred Willard stop by the show.
