    Ep. 109: Bonnie McFarlane – The Best Roast of the Last 50 Years

    Comedian, writer and director Bonnie McFarlane produced, hosted and directed the Roast of Rich Vos (her husband), which Mike calls the best roast of the last 50 years. She tells how a birthday request turned into a six-camera roast at the Comedy Cellar's Village Underground: building the dais, comics calling her to ask "is this joke good enough?", and what happened next to Jim Florentine when he was getting buried. Also: her Tooth Fairy bit, joking about your family when they're not comedians, why Rich Vos never writes anything down (and still wrote on two Oscars), the night Bonnie thought she heard Chris Rock laughing, Mike's Blankman story about Damon Wayans and a studio boss, her documentary "Women Aren't Funny," and LA comics vs. New York comics.

    Pete Lee & Nick Melillo: Fire, Cigars and Meeting Spielberg

    We’re in New York for this one. Comedian Pete Lee and Nick Melillo of Foundation Cigars join me at the Stand. Pete lost his house in the Palisades fire. He found out while he was on stage, and then he went and did The Tonight Show. He talks about rebuilding, his eight years “in development” at the Comedy Store, and why moving to New York with a backpack and a CPAP made him funnier. He also tells us how he ended up naming Liquid Death’s flavors and starring in a CPAP ad. Nick explains why Connecticut grows the best cigar wrappers in the world (blame a glacier), and how a Joe Rogan episode led to Foundation’s Rogan cigar. We also cover two ways to meet Steven Spielberg (Pete’s involves a colonoscopy), my first night at the Comedy Store with Mitzi Shore, LA crowds vs. New York crowds, and why live comedy matters more than ever.

My guest this week on STANDUPWORLD is comedian Adam Hunter, who actually got hired to write comedy material for Trump.That alone was enough for me.I wanted to know how you write jokes for somebody with such a recognizable voice. Do you write what YOU think is funny? What HE thinks is funny? Do you hear his voice in your head while you're typing?Adam tells me how he got the job, what he wrote, and what happened when Trump actually used one of his jokes.We also get into stand-up, Gutfeld!, politics, writing for other people and the increasingly bizarre business of trying to make people laugh for a living.
