A confirmation sponsor and sponsee go halfises on the best damn talent show ever. In 2020 these American catholics hung with an Archbishop (brag), sporting period-accurate fabric masks and insane haircuts. Now, Fenton 'St Patrick' Lio is a singer-songwriter, Emma 'St Rose' Baxter does stand-up and they’re splitting a variety hour sponsored by God. FAQs: who even are these children? We’re 18 and 27, but we do consider ourselves prodigies. Are you, like, cousins? Not legally, but our dogs are named after each other’s moms. Is the show gonna be super catholic-themed? Not at all.
