In episode 166 of The Johnny Rogers Show, I sit down with stand-up comic, actor, and writer JJ Whitehead. Known for his rangy swagger, electric wit, and fearless comedy, JJ has charmed audiences around the globe with his personal stories and razor-sharp social satire. In this episode, JJ's chosen word is Reprobate, and we dive into how he reclaims it as more of a compliment than its original definition. We also discuss his experience writing for The Jim Jefferies Show, the differences between doing stand-up in England vs. America, his many Edinburgh Fringe Festival performances, prepping for his Comedy Now special, and the advice he'd give to his younger self. JJ's unique journey—from headlining clubs like The Comedy Store and Yuk Yuks to slaying stages on Jim Jefferies' Night Talker Tour—offers a wealth of insight and laughs. Don't miss this conversation with one of comedy's most dynamic voices!

George Schlatter is living a life full of legendary firsts and remarkable adventures because he embraces innovation. George's captivating career path is documented in his book, Still Laughing: A Life In Comedy. It's a hilarious page-turner that serves as a showbiz primer and history lesson. It's also self-improvement manual for anyone in search of creative inspiration. One of George's key mottos is: When all hope is fading, make them laugh. George has brazenly cracked up Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland and Cary Grant. Now it's your turn.George takes us backstage with Lucille Ball, Judy and Liza, Sammy Davis Jr. Stevie Wonder, Cher and the cast of Laugh-In. He tells us how he talked Lucy into riding an elephant with Steve Lawrence through Shubert Alley. He shares his secret network executive management technique: Get them drunk at lunch. And he offers astutely passionate observations about the current state of television and how it's changed since the turbulently transformative sixties.George believes that rules are guidelines that should be courageously challenged. On a bet from Jack Lemmon, George sneaked a naughty phrase into an episode of Laugh-In, winning Jack as a guest star on the show. He pioneered the airing of bloopers and outtakes. He invented the Las Vegas lounge act and created reality TV with Real People which shared the true stories of the Navajo Code Talkers, The Tuskegee Airmen and the Viet Nam War's missing in action.We also challenge George to a round of People You've Worked With Roulette, talk about his once-lost show, Turn-On, which was cancelled 20 minutes into its first hour.

My favourite sport is tennis. I've loved it since I was 10 years of age when I first watched Bjorn Borg on Centre Court at Wimbledon. Ever since then, I've hit thousands and thousands of tennis balls, I play as often as I can. Why do I love this game so much? Because being on court is a lot like being on stage (you'll hear why at the start of the episode). But you know what? I actually get more nervous on the court than I do on the stage!So this week I've indulged my sporting passion and go deep on tennis. Im joined by former Irish no 1 tennis player Conor Niland. He has played at Wimbledon, taken on the greats, experienced the highs and the lows, and he shares all of those stories on this episode of The Mario Rosenstock Podcast.COMEDY:Now that Boris Johnson has finally succumbed to the pressure and resigned, what is he going to do next?
