For Mike Drucker, getting a Nintendo at three years old truly changed the course of his life. Since then, the Emmy-nominated writer and comedian has built an entire career influenced by video games. In his new memoir, Good Game, No Rematch: A Life Made of Video Games, Drucker details how some of his most defining experiences were either accompanied by or caused by video games. He joins Tom Power to share some of those stories, from showing the cast of Saturday Night Live how to play the Wii when he was an intern, to working at Nintendo, to bonding with Jimmy Fallon over video games before eventually joining the show as a writer.
