“We took on the stance of being on the side of our sponsors, embracing them and their dreams.” Dana Carvey (Comedy Legend, Co-Host of Fly on the Wall) The Media Roundtable is back! This week we're bringing you one of our many favorite chats from Oxford Road's 2024 CAO Summit: “Permission to Laugh.” Jenna Weiss-Berman (Co-Founder & Co-CEO, Pineapple Street Media and EVP, Head of Podcasts at Audacy) hosts a fireside chat with SNL comedy legends and longtime friends Dana Carvey (Wayne's World, The Dana Carvey Show) and David Spade (Tommy Boy, Just Shoot Me), fresh off their hit podcasts Fly on the Wall and Superfly. We're diving into: why stars make podcasts, the power of comedy, and 8-minute ad reads. Let's jump in.
This week, SepTIMEber continues as we head back to 14th century France to launch real fireballs out of real trebuchets alongside real Montreal LARPers in a rare misstep from a true master of the popcorn flick. It's 2003's Timeline, directed by Richard Donner, based on the book by Michael Crichton, and starring Paul Walker, Frances O'Connor, Gerard Butler, Billy Connolly, David Thewlis, Anna Friel, Neal McDonough, Ethan Embry, Matt Craven, Michael Sheen, Lambert Wilson, Marton Csokas and Rossif Sutherland. Two movies into this theme month and we already be down bad with Stockholm Syndrome, as the dire straits of The Time Machine made this film look like an oasis in the desert comparatively. Alas, it is a deeply flawed flick to be sure, and for the very first time one of our hosts could not make it over the finish line. Plus: a bit of listener mail makes Hayley finally explain her longstanding beef with Ted Lasso. If you'd like to watch the movie before listening to our conversation, good luck! Despite being a Paramount movie, Timeline is not available on Paramount+ but is rentable on YouTube and the Cineplex app at the time of publication. Other works discussed on this episode include Rebel Ridge, Green Room, Blue Ruin, Kinds of Kindness, Poor Things, The Favourite, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, The Emperor's New Groove, Child's Play, M3GAN, English Teacher, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, Jurassic Park III, Almost Live!, Ready Player One, Backspot, I Like Movies, Sabrina Carpenter's album Short & Sweet, The Dana Carvey Show, Too Funny To Fail, 300, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Midnight in Paris, Pushing Daisies, A.I.: Artificial Intelligence, Olympus Has Fallen, Greenland, Geostorm, Superman II, The Goonies, Lethal Weapon, Maverick, Radio Flyer, The 13th Warrior, Sky Captain & The World of Tomorrow, Paycheck and The Perfect Score. We'll be back next week with a little ADHD-TPB, as SepTIMEber rolls on with a movie J Mo torrented off the internet roughly 15 years ago and never got around to actually watching: 1979's Time After Time, starring Malcolm McDowell and David Warner as H.G. Wells and Jack The Ripper respectively. Sounds like fun, right? Here's hoping! It is also not available on streaming, but once again is rentable on YouTube. Until then, we'll see you at the movies!!

On this very ready-for-prime-time episode, hosts Ian and John gather their promotional sponsors and give us their best impressions of the 1996 ABC sketch comedy The Dana Carvey Show, starring Dana Carvey and a gaggle of now-famous (and infamous) writers and actors! Dana Carvey is joined by SNL and The Second City folks such as Steve Carell, Stephen Colbert, and Robert Smigel to create a surrealist sketch show with wacky parodies, crude political humor, and the birthplace of The Ambiguously Gay Duo. Ian digs a deeper pit for the movie hole in his life, Shawshank Redemption. John's catching up with The Other Two on HBOMax before the third season premieres! Ian and John eat some Taco Bell and sip on Diet Mug Root Beer as they discuss the Hulu documentary Too Funny to Fail, John's 3rd grade third party vote, Phil Hartman as Larry King, and the most unfortunate timing of a turtle suit (not to be confused with “toitle shoup”).

In 1995, one of Saturday Night Live's most prominent cast members left the show. A year later in 1996 Dana Carvey pitched his own sketch comedy show, after truning down David Letterman's late show hosting gig. ABC ordered 10 episodes and gave it a primetime televsion slot airing immediately after 90's juggernaut Home Improvement. The network had high hopes for the SNL alumn, but soon learned when you give comedians free reign, it's not always the most family friendy product. We discuss the history of the show, it's downfall and it's incredible staff of writers and performers which included Robert Smigel, Charlie Kaufman, Louis C.K., Steve Carrell, Stephen Colbert and more! Then we break down sketch by sketch the series' 6th episode. It's a wild and fun ride on this week's Notable Nostalgia!Find us and other things we are up to, including links to our social pages, at www.bigdoorprize.com

Episode 43: Don't Yell Back After earning her BFA and moving to New York City, Susan hit the comedy club scene performing sketch comedy with the Obie Award winning New George's “Kinda Personal,” her comedy duo “STEVE” as well as improvising with Upright Citizens Brigade, which, together, couldn't surpass her proudest career moment... winding up on The Dana Carvey Show's editing room floor. Susan's comedic writing led to several produced and performed theatrical pieces in New York City, making her known as the “multi character performer to watch.” During those performances she was discovered by commercial agents and since then she has been hawking cleaning supplies and driving mini vans across your television screen regularly. She solidified her legacy with her ground breaking role, “Beth the Swiffer Lady”, garnering national attention with fan clubs, mentions in books and morning news programs. Not only can she be seen on television, but heard as well. Susan's voice over talent can be heard regularly in commercials, jingles and cartoons throughout the nation and the world. (She is huge in Korea.)

Hello, listener-friend! It's me, Marc Hershon, executive producer and every-other-weekly co-host of Succotash, the Comedy Soundcast Soundcast. You're here for episode 326 and so am I, where we have special guest Dana Carvey returning and we're going to talk about his new soundcast that's just about to drop…but more on that in a moment. In case you missed last week's Epi325 of the show, hosted by my unparalleled every-OTHER-weekly co-host Tyson Saner, it was an fantastical half-hour that included a triple shot sampling of soundcasts — in a show entitled “They Can't All Be Comedy" — from the likes of Word In Your Ear, Going Deep, and Bubble. And see, that first one on the list – Word In Your Ear – that's a music-oriented soundcast. Because, although we tout ourselves as “THE Comedy Soundcast Soundcast”, sometimes we let ourselves stray from the format because that's what we do. If that pisses you off, you can go listen to…oh, that's right. There is no other Comedy Soundcast Soundcast. So enjoy! As I was saying, my special guest this week is none other that Dana Carvey. You know him from his year on NBC's Saturday Night Live, the short-lived-but-amazing The Dana Carvey Show, Garth from Wayne's World, The Master of Disguise, comedy specials, and from here – Succotash – where's he's been a recurring special guest since we first started in 2011. Heck, he was our very first guest back in Episode THREE. In our chat I say that he last visited us a couple of years ago but, in reality, it was just back in February of this year. And now he's back! And for a special reason. Last time he was on he was talking about the soundcast he'd started with fellow SNL alumnus David Spade called Fly On The Wall. Where they interview guests who were either part of the SNL cast or crew, or else were hosts, or musical guests. It's been doing REALLY well and they're not only going to do another season of those shows but there might even be a spin-off companion show to that. But, not satisfied with slicing off that corner of SoundcastLand, Dana is working with his sons, Dex and Tom, and their friend Julian, to create a scripted comedy soundcast. It's called The Weird Place, and it's a Looney Tunes tweak of a kind of Twilight Zone concept and it's going to be dropping very soon. On Halloween day, to be exact. We talk all about it. So here's what I'm going to set the table. First, we'll play a little one-minute teaser that they've done for the show. Then I'll play an ad from our fake sponsor, Henderson's Pants and their Deathly HalloWear. And then we'll go right into my chat with Dana. Sound good? Let's go… If you'd like to follow Dana on his socials, he's @DanaCarvey on Twitter and @TheDanaCarvey on Instagram. Remember to catch our action next week for Episode 327 and your erstwhile host Tyson Saner, right here in this very same feed. In the meantime, if you find yourself struggling to get free of the swamp reeds, the mud and the skeeters while drowning in the fetid waters of Lake Okeechobee in Florida, a giant gator coming at you with jaws agape, and somebody whizzes by on one of those swamp boats with the big fans on the back shouting, “Have you heard anything good lately?!”, won't you please pass the Succotash? — Marc Hershon
In 1997, Robert Smigel put a dog puppet on his hand, started making poop jokes in a thick Russian accent and Triumph the Insult Comic Dog was born. 25 years later, he's still going strong. In this rare long form conversation, Smigel talks about how he pulls off his epic confrontations of politicians like Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham. He also opens up about his time writing for Conan O'Brien, ‘The Dana Carvey Show' and SNL, where he created ‘TV Funhouse' and ‘The Ambiguously Gay Duo'—an animated sketch he readily admits would not work today. Robert explains why his eventual exit from SNL was “not pretty” and weighs in on Alec Baldwin's “easy” satirical take on Donald Trump.This episode was originally published on June 30th, 2020.Follow Robert Smigel on Twitter @TriumphICDHQ and Instagram @triumphicdhqFollow Matt Wilstein on Twitter @mattwilsteinFollow The Last Laugh on Instagram @lastlaughpod Highlights from this episode and others at The Daily Beast See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Jason Ciment is the Founder and CEO of Get Visible, a digital marketing agency that helps companies with their website search engine rankings, online ad campaigns, and much more. Jason calls himself a “digital marketing assassin,” due to his reputation for growing traffic, leads, and revenue for his clients.

He authored the book I Need More Clients: Digital Marketing Strategies That Grow Your Business, which serves as a step-by-step guide to utilizing web tools and digital strategies.

He received his bachelor's degree from Yeshiva University and his law degree from Fordham University School of Law. In this episode… As ironic as this will sound, it's true — there's nothing funny about the comedy business. It's a life of rejection for the comedian by day and laughter for others by night. How do you find the strength to carry on making others laugh when no one cares about how hard your life has been up to that point? That's the beginning of the intersection between comedy and business. It's the grind: the pure hustle, the constant rejection, and the need to show up regardless. So if you've ever thought comedians have it funny, wait until you hear Elon Gold talk about his biggest rejections or Jason Ciment reflect on the travails of agency life. Listen to this episode of the Inspired Insider Podcast with Dr. Jeremy Weisz featuring comedian Elon Gold and the CEO at Get Visible, Jason Ciment. They talk about how comedy is like a service business that struggles with rejection, how to handle the rejection, how Elon's craft has evolved, lessons from other comedy greats, and loads of jokes in-between. You don't want to skip a second!

This is an amazing show, first you get Barry Neal a Headliner and Booking Agent from LA, then a terrific Actor/Comic Danny Mora seen as a regular on shows like "Chico & the Man" in the 70's, many TV appearances, and then he was a regular on the TV series "Lethal Weapon" in 2017, and he is still acting today! But the extra energy on this show comes from Dana Carvey, it's a Live Saturday night late show (little dirty), and he pulls out all the stops....great standup, audience interaction, and even some music. Earlier on I launched a show from 1983 where Dana and his brothers band do "Chopping Broccoli" with back-up singers and everything...this time the show was taped the week in 1986 when he got the call from Lorne Michael's to do SNL...and he does some Neal Young and the "Burger King" song and "Chopping Broccoli" acoustic version...a very funny don't miss show! Amazing Standup Comedy.This is an invite for all my listeners to reach out and be a part of the 100th Show of this Podcast Standup Comedy "Your Host & MC"Just email me at sccotscomedystuff@gmail.com and join in the fun.

Interview: I am joined by actor, writer, improviser, and producer Jon Glaser. Jon and I discussed crossing paths at summer camp many decades ago where he delivered a comedy bit that has stayed with me all my life. Jon has had an amazing career. We discuss his comedy roots that began at the University of Michigan. Jon talks about following his passion for improv and auditioning and becoming a part of Second City Chicago. Jon talks about how his SNL audition didn't lead him to SNL but after being seen by Robert Smigel landed him a writing gig on The Dana Carvey Show. We also discuss how Jon landed a dream job writing and performing for Conan. Many will recognize Jon from Parks and Recreation where he played reoccurring character Councilman Jeremy Jamm over the course of the show's run. We also discussed Jon's many shows including Delocated (the story of his family in witness protection that get their own reality show); how a joke on The Tonight Show led to the creation of his show, Neon Joe, Werewolf Hunter (story of a neon-clad warrior with a talent for hunting werewolves) and his most recent show Jon Glaser Loves Gear (about his passion for gear).

Akil finally returns to the newly re-formed Documenteers podcast for some humorous fare about a show that seemed like a no-brainer at the time and ended up being one of the strangest sketch shows to somehow air during primetime after family sitcoms on network television. Dana Carvey was an inevitable super star, so they gave him a show. Ge and Robert Smigel hired some weirdos (who would later become infamous) and came right out the gate with some weird and funny shit. A Hollywood tale that is either about what NOT to do when you get a network show on primetime OR and inspiring tale about an amazing show that wasn't appreciated in it's time. We're talking "Too Funny to Fail: The Life & Death of the Dana Carvey Show" by Josh Greenbaum. It's on Hulu and it made us laugh quite a bit. Go watch it and then cum hear us discuss it. You'll be glad you did.

Our esteemed colleague Jeff Drake is back -- and so is our esteemedest producer, David T. Cole -- to discuss Too Funny To Fail, Hulu's documentary on the much-anticipated The Dana Carvey Show and its ignominious end. After a Robin Williams-ectomy was proposed, Dave got the blues in his I Am Not A Crackpot segment, and then we went around the dial with Mom, American Vandal, Chance, and The Deuce. Tara hoped an episode of Better Things would be better enough for the Canon, Kardashians and Benson fans were winners and losers, and there was once a man from Nantucket...who wrote Game Time. Sort of. Alphabetize those network notes: it's time for an all-new Extra Hot Great. GUESTS
