'The Guest Book': Steve Zissis on threading dark and comedy in Mike's bizarre story

Season 2 episode 5 of 'The Guest Book' will see husband-wife couple played by Steve Zissis and Allison Tolman staying at the Barefeet Retreat.

Every week TBS’ ‘The Guest Book’ treats fans with the story a new bunch of people with their own set of problems depicted beautifully by a group of talented actors who fit beautifully into the oceanside town of Mabel Beach. On Tuesday night’s episode of ‘Two Steps Forward, One Step Back’ the guests staying at the Barefeet Retreat – too ironically named for this episode – is Mike and his family.  

Portrayed by the versatile Steve Zissis, Mike is an overworked man struggling to make ends meet. However, he wanted to give his family a beach vacation they would never forget and works hard for it. Unfortunately, in his case, he may have had to pay a price much steeper than he had planned.
