After a long hiatus, the podcast returns for an important episode. Gleib is an Israeli American, and his in-studio guest is Palestinian American comedian Sammy Obeid. Since the Israel/Hamas war broke out three months ago, we've all been stuck in separate social media echo chambers. So Gleib wanted to change that and have a face to face conversation with a comedian buddy on the opposite side of perhaps the most complex and controversial issue of our time. Plus he updates us on two very difficult life updates since the last time we met, and shares a great life hack.

Standup comedian, game show host and erstwhile Presidential candidate Ben Gleib stopped by The Jimmy Dore Show studio for a segment discussing his new special on YouTube, the state of comedy in the era of wokeness, the Trump phenomenon and whether there are any substantive differences between the two major American political parties. Jimmy and America's comedian Kurt Metzger engage in a predominantly civil but sometimes heated exchange of ideas with Gleib. Plus a segment on progressives' latest opportunity to use their leverage to stop Joe Manchin's bad climate bill - and why they won't do it. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae! And a phone call from George Clooney!
Growing up on the Monkees, Dave Clark Five, and the Beatles, why Willie Nelson and Julio Iglesias are stone cold players, being in a rap group and getting kicked out, touring and singing with Dane Cook, being inspired by George Carlin, writing jokes as a kid, starting a late night talk show in college, why where your from is irrelevant, and oh so much more! And maybe the hardest we have laughed yet.

His act is full of unique material, but he's also one of the best at crowd work, making it all up on the spot. He hosted with Olivia Munn the “Telethon for America”. Gleib also created it, executive produced, and was head writer. It featured celebrities such as Natalie Portman, Charlize Theron, Chelsea Handler, Jane Fonda, Constance Wu, Amy Schumer, Jessica Alba, Judd Apatow, Hasan Minhaj, Adam Devine, Aisha Tyler, Pete Davidson, Ray Romano, Julia Louis Dreyfus, and over 80 others. It was the first telethon ever with the goal of raising zero dollars. Reinventing the telethon for the digital age, instead the non-partisan telethon took pledges to vote in 2018 midterms, aiming to create historic turnout, which was achieved! Trying to offer an out-of-the-box option for the country, and seeing comedians win elections around the globe, he just concluded a run for President of the United States in the 2020 election, finishing after almost 8 months in the race, as the 15th highest fundraising active Democratic campaign. Despite this, he wasn’t able to qualify for the debates so the campaign ended. During the run he spoke at events alongside the front-runner candidates, campaigning in 13 states and territories including multiple trips to Iowa and New Hampshire, Puerto Rico on the 2-year anniversary of Hurricane Maria, was arrested protesting corruption at the capitol building in DC, joined immigration protests, LGBT parades, and stood proudly with the teachers on the picket line in Chicago. His campaign was covered by Larry King, the Des Moines Register, and countless others. Videos and information can be seen at Gleib2020.com As an actor he just guest starred on “American Princess” an hour dramedy from Jenji Kohan (Orange is the New Black, GLOW.) He was a regular on "The Today Show" with Kathie Lee and Hoda, with over 25 appearances, and you may have seen one of his appearances on "@Midnight with Chris Hardwick" on Comedy Central, or as a correspondent on ”The Arsenio Hall Show”. He has toured sold-out arenas all over North America with both Chelsea Handler and Dane Cook, and has been headlining comedy clubs around the world since 2007. An accomplished voice over actor as well, Gleib is one of the stars of Kevin Smith's "Jay and Silent Bob's Super Groovy Cartoon Movie," is the voice of Marshall the Sloth in "Ice Age: Continental Drift," and voices Dali in "The Book of Life" starring Channing Tatum. Esquire once called him one of “Six comedians who could be comedy’s next big thing.” The other five were Aziz Ansari, Patton Oswalt, David Cross, Demetri Martin, and Flight of the Conchords.

This week's episode is a conversation with Ben Gleib - comedian, actor, host and former Presidential candidate, in his first in-depth interview after completing his run for office just a few weeks ago. He gives us a fascinating inside look at what life is really like on the grueling campaign trail. Ben put his life as a comedian on hold for 8 months in an attempt to do something for the country fueled by his belief that we are in dire need of change and better leadership - a belief that many Americans share. But does our democracy actually support change when money and special interest groups heavily influence who gets a voice in our political process? Conversation topics include: How money and big business affects politics, getting priced out of the big leagues, getting arrested while protesting in Washington DC, who was a dick on the campaign trail, behind the scenes stories including his most embarrassing (hilarious) moment of the campaign, platforms he believes in, perspective on the current election, and what it's like to come back to normal life as comic, social media censorship and our Orwellian future. And if he would ever do it again...
