Podcast appearances and mentions of David Letterman

Show Notes Episode 508: “John's Detachable Penis” This week Host Dave Bledsoe woke up screaming after a bender to find a red mess and half a weiner on his lap, only to discover he passed out while eating a hot dog. (What kind of monster puts ketchup on a hot dog?) On the show this week we discuss a similar situation that ended much worse, we talk about John Bobbitt's detached penis and why Americans thought it was funny! Along the way we discover all the ways Dave has been a disappointment to the women in his life. (Starting with his Mom) Then we dive right in clarifying the difference between regular old castration and emasculation. (Never say we don't tackle the hard topics!) Then we met John and Lorena, a couple of kids, who met, fell in love and discovered that was a really BAD idea.  After delicately weaving around some fairly gruesome subjects we arrive at why Americans thought a dude's dong landing in a 7-11 parking lot was so funny. (We are terrible people) Then we wrap up with something that might be considered a metaphor for modern times. Our Sponsor this week is Total Package Protection, never have a penis without it. We open with Eddie Murphy (again) talking about why dick threats aren't funny and close with Dr Bootyu Quiver who is looking for something.

Detroit only 1 game up on the Cleveland Guardians, Jimmy Kimmel fallout, Charlie Sheen v. Mexican Cartels, new Kanye West documentary, Drew & TMZ Harvey Levin's rocky relationship, and a new show joins the Dabbleverse. We'll cover the Detroit Lions on Tuesday following Monday Night Football. Sports: The Detroit Tigers are suffering an epic MLB collapse in real-time. At least the farm system is good… right? MSU lost in the middle of the night to USC. Michigan defeated Nebraska. Both teams are on a bye next week. Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney is terrible. Theo Von is going to nail Diego Pavia's mom. Molly Qerim is hot but out at First Take. It's the 50th anniversary of NFL Today. TMZ weaseled out of an apology for their Charlie Kirk cheering. Jimmy Kimmel Fallout: Donald Trump popped off on David Letterman over the issue. Late Night seems to be one sided… except that one show. Disney president Bob Iger has yet to weigh in on the Kimmel situation. The head of the FCC says The View may be next. Family Feud is sliding right into place. There are too many stupid billionaires these days. Detroit Sports 105.1 alum, Rico Beard, called out a racist on Facebook. Michael Ray Bower (aka Donkeylips) is the latest pathetic YouTuber/podcasting grifter. Buy a Cameo today! The TikTokker who lost a child is back to TikTokking. The Try Guys are pathetic and soft.

When Ted Cruz and Tucker Carlson are raging against their President, you know a line has been crossed. Cruz said the FCC threat from Brendan Carr was straight out of Goodfellas and it's got mafia written all over it. It's important not to forget we have the confluence of several stories here in the Jimmy Kimmel scrap; 1) The absurdity of defending free speech while closing it down. The First Amendment is critical, until it isn't, apparently. 2) The lack of corporate spine. Both Kimmel and Stephen Colbert have been dumped, mainly because the companies that own the networks were looking for FCC approval to do business. The fact they were being compromised by stand over tactics didn't appear to bother them. It reminds me a lot of Covid in this country. The number of corporates who privately raged at the Government were nowhere to be seen publicly. It's amazing what power-driving fear can do to a business. 3) The simple reality that despite number one and two, these late night shows have in fact dug their own grave. They are a broadcasting failure. Their arrogance to ignore the mood of the audience has seen their ratings crater and, along with it, advertising revenue. Where once Jay Leno and Letterman kept it light and fun, Kimmel and co have turned their shows into angst fest's, with less humour and more campaigning. No one wants to be lectured at 11 o'clock at night and they failed to see that. Like it or not the Trump train is rolling and their fury belongs largely in places like California. The rest of America isn't interested. So in the midst of the mess, who is the biggest criminal? Is it the President for being a hypocrite? Is it the networks for being spineless? Or is it the shows for being out of touch with their audiences? While you work that out, the indisputable bit is the biggest losers are the shows. The President aint returning and he is time limited. The networks will move on with their FCC permissions but the shows are gone. The landscape is irrevocably changed. The big question left is - who's next?

Yesterday, Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show was suspended indefinitely. It's a shocking moment for free speech, given the order in which events unfolded. Earlier that day, FCC Chair Brendan Carr had suggested on a conservative podcast that ABC and its affiliates consider taking steps against Kimmel, saying, “We can do this the easy way or the hard way.” As it so happened, the late-night legend David Letterman was scheduled to speak at The Atlantic Festival the next day. Letterman and The Atlantic's editor in chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, sat down for an impromptu interview about the news. --- Get more from your favorite Atlantic voices when you subscribe.

La suspension de l'émission de l'humoriste Jimmy Kimmel sur la chaîne ABC et les menaces que Donald Trump fait peser sur la liberté d'expression ont enflammé les Late Night Shows américains. Les humoristes se sont montrés solidaires de leur collègue, dénonçant une censure politique. « Ce soir, nous sommes tous Jimmy Kimmel », a lancé Stephen Colbert, l'animateur du Late Show. Lui aussi a été visé par la colère présidentielle : en juillet 2025, il a appris que son émission s'arrêterait l'an prochain. Libéré de toute contrainte, il n'a pas hésité à qualifier la suspension de Kimmel de « censure flagrante », ajoutant : « Avec un autocrate, on ne peut pas céder le moindre centimètre. Si ABC pense que cela va satisfaire le régime, ils sont terriblement naïfs. » Jon Stewart a choisi l'ironie pour critiquer une dérive autoritaire. Son Daily Show s'est ouvert par une voix off annonçant « le tout nouveau Daily Show approuvé par le gouvernement », présenté par le très « patriotique et obéissant » Jon Stewart. Il y avait aussi Jimmy Fallon, qui, de son côté a joué la carte de l'autocensure parodique. « Beaucoup craignent qu'on ne puisse plus dire ce qu'on pense… Moi, je vais parler de la visite de Donald Trump au Royaume-Uni, comme d'habitude », a-t-il expliqué dans son Tonight Show. Mais à chaque pique adressée au président, une voix off a effacé ses mots… pour les remplacer par des compliments. Autre figure incontournable, David Letterman, ancien animateur vedette de CBS et NBC, a dénoncé une dérive inquiétante. « On ne peut pas virer quelqu'un simplement par peur, ou pour faire allégeance à une administration autoritaire, criminelle, installée à la Maison Blanche. Ça ne marche pas comme ça », a-t-il déclaré dans une interview au magazine The Atlantic. Enfin, Seth Meyers a préféré l'humour absurde, affirmant que toute critique négative qu'on pourrait lui attribuer sur Donald Trump ne pouvait être que le produit de l'intelligence artificielle.   Les Bolsonaristes courtisent les évangéliques en vue de l'élection présidentielle de 2026 à Brésil Au Brésil, une semaine après la condamnation de Jair Bolsonaro à 27 ans de prison pour tentative de coup d'État, les évangéliques restent son principal bastion de soutien. Selon un sondage Atlas, 65% d'entre eux jugent sa peine injuste. À Rio, le pasteur Silas Malafaia, surnommé le « Raspoutine de Bolsonaro », dénonce une « persécution politique et religieuse » orchestrée par la Cour suprême. Malgré l'ouverture d'une enquête contre lui et la confiscation de son passeport, il continue d'attaquer la justice dans ses cultes et sur les réseaux sociaux, où il compte plus de dix millions d'abonnés. Mais cette mobilisation ne reflète pas l'ensemble du monde évangélique, rappelle la chercheuse Magali Cunha. Si certains fidèles dénoncent une « censure » et comparent la situation actuelle à la dictature, beaucoup expriment leur lassitude face à la politisation croissante de leurs églises. Alors que Jair Bolsonaro est désormais inéligible, la bataille pour séduire l'électorat évangélique est lancée au sein de l'extrême droite, mais elle pourrait se heurter à un désenchantement grandissant. C'est un reportage de notre correspondante Sarah Cozzolino. La gastronomie haïtienne à l'honneur à Paris La semaine dernière, se tenait à Paris, sur les quais de Seine, un festival de cuisine parrainée par la cheffe Hélène Darroze. La 7ème édition du village international de la gastronomie réunit les cuisines traditionnelles de plus de 60 pays. Pour cette édition 2025, c'est le Cambodge qui était mis à l'honneur, mais la communauté haïtienne était présente pour défendre les couleurs de la culture et de la gastronomie du pays.

In this special emergency crossover, Johnny Mac (Daily Comedy News) and Mike fire up the mics to tackle the growing storm surrounding Jimmy Kimmel's indefinite suspension from ABC. With conflicting headlines, regulatory noise, and media blowback in every direction, it felt like the right time to take a step back and look at what's really going on here.Johnny brings a sharp, informed perspective on the FCC's involvement, and together, he and Mike unpack the broader implications this moment has for the late-night genre. From the evolving role of hosts to the tension between punchlines and political pressure, it's a conversation about where the line is — and whether it's moving.They also talk about legacy, precedent, and how moments like this could shape the future of late-night television, for better or worse.⸻

Chris Ricobono walked into garment makers all over the fashion district in New York and no one would make an off spec shirt for him. Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not-so-secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom and pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector, and storyteller. I'm Stephen's sidekick in business partner Dave Young. Before we get into today's episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well, it's us, but we're highlighting ads we've written and produced for our clients. So here's one of those. [Pinpoint Payments Ad] Dave Young: Welcome back to the Empire Builders Podcast, Dave Young here alongside Stephen Semple. And we're talking about empires being built and fortunes being made and brands being established and something different happening. And you mentioned the theme for today's show. The topic is a shirt brand called Untuck it. Stephen Semple: Untuck it, Dave Young: And I am a little familiar with them. Number one, Stephen Semple: Oh my God, a fashion brand that Dave's a little bit familiar with. Dave Young: Oh, I own two of them. I have two shirts. And I feel like I'm responsible for the brand. Stephen Semple: Okay. Dave Young: I'm just that kind of guy that my torso is the weird length and I cannot for the life of me keep a shirt tucked in. So years ago, I quit trying, unless I'm going to be in a tuxedo with a cummerbund that tightens that up. I'm like, you're not going to find me in a tucked in shirt because it'll untuck itself. So I've always embraced the idea of buy shirts that look good, whether they're tucked in or not, and Untuck It actually created dress shirts. Stephen Semple: Yes, sir. Dave Young: That you don't tuck in. You've got quite enough tail to be tucked in. So I'm interested in how they got their start. And I bought my two shirts from an actual Untuck store in a mall in Portland, Oregon. Stephen Semple: There you go. Yeah. Dave Young: So I think I know where you're headed with this, the experience. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Today they have, I think they're approaching 90 stores now today, and they also now have got a women's line and of course a major strong online presence. But it was founded by Chris Ricobono and Aaron Sendez in Hoboken, New Jersey in 2010. And they are, as you said, a shirt designed to be worn untucked. And in fact, their early ads featured Chris basically walking down the road talking about how this is what he wanted to create. And they're kind of funny actually. If you go look at them, they're a great origin story. And he's walking down the street in New Jersey and he has this unbelievably serious tone to him about how he wanted to fix this whole shirt problem. And that actually in the early days, David Letterman and Colbert and whatnot were making fun of these ads, which he loved. Like, "Hey, I'm getting some free press here." But yeah, go and check them out on YouTube. Kind of great. I can really understand why those ads work. So Chris grew up in New Jersey and he took finance and college, and he was actually always really nervous about corporate America. He was worried about his career. And so his whole idea was he was going to get a job, but while he got the job, he was going to look for what the next thing was going to be. So he was always looking for the next idea. And he was nervous in corporate America because he wasn't good in crowds, and he wasn't good with spreadsheets and he wasn't good with socializing. So he always sort of felt like he was an outsider there And eventually got a job being a salesperson and medical devices for GE. And he was there for about 10 years, but he knew he was never going to be long-term. And while he was at GE, he did an MBA at Columbia and it stimulated a lot of ideas for him, and he knew he needed to get an idea.

Episode 592 - Joe McClean - Screenwriter, Author and Director - Putting Yourself Out There and Into Your Story, That is Where the Opportunity LiesJoe made a bunch of short films and one feature length movie with friends and no money. To this day, I enjoy watching those early attempts to craft a story, but essentially this era of on-the-job-training was my film school. Now it was time to take my first big swing. I wrote a script I felt I could raise enough money to shoot myself, a found-footage film, and I spent a year begging for cash and favors. The star of a hit TV show, who had gone to the same high school as me, graciously agreed to act in it. An NBA player made a small investment. Actor, comedian, and Late Show with David Letterman regular, Jay Thomas agreed to make a cameo. The snowball was growing and eventually I scraped together enough cash to direct Life Tracker. The movie played over 20 science fiction conventions and got a digital distribution deal with Charter Communications (now Spectrum) and streamed into millions of American homes.Life Tracker Great! Now I needed a follow up to prove that my work ethic couldn't be mistaken for beginner's luck.​ Taking advantage of a group of talented actor friends and another who owned property outside of Fresno, I wrote and directed a super-low-budget homage to The Big Chill called The Drama Club which can currently be seen on Tubi.The Drama Club Looking back from that point, I could see the years of work I'd put in. Meeting people. Working with casts and crews. Going on adventures together. taking risks and building trust. Jobs started to fall into place. I signed my first manager. I joined the Writers Guild of America. I pitched big shot producers at legacy studios and powerhouse production companies. Always searching for that next opportunity. That's when I met Blair Underwood. A business lunch turned into an attachment (and a friendship), and soon I was hitting up everyone I'd ever done business with to see who wanted to join the team.Viral was written and produced by me, it's directed by and stars Blair, and he shares the screen with Sarah Silverman, Jeanine Mason, and the incomparable Alfre Woodard! The movie is finished and we're actively working with our sales team to bring it to audiences.In the mean time, I'm working with Amistad (an imprint of HarperCollins Publishing) on a two-book deal titled Sins of Survivors about the plight of a family who lived in the once vital African American neighborhood of Black Bottom in 1930s and 40s Detroit. The first book is currently available everywhere books are sold, and the second hits shelves in the summer of 2026... So, go to your local bookstore's website get your copy!Why "Ginger Beard," you ask? My wife's maiden name is "Beard," and when our son was born he had a reddish tint to his hair. So, my company is named after my son, my "Ginger Beard"... It's only a bonus that I have red facial hair.https://www.linkedin.com/in/joe-mcclean-6668b018https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0565697/https://www.gingerbeardfilms.com/Support the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca

Mark Hamill gets that you probably know more about Star Wars than he does and he's ok with that. In fact, he's so ok with where he's at in his career, he's really not worried about what comes next. Mark talks with Marc about his early days on soap operas, the faith he had in Star Wars being a big hit while they were making it, the casting troubles he came up against in Hollywood that made him seek work on Broadway, and the voiceover acting that changed his career. They also talk about his connection to Late Night with David Letterman and his recent work in two Stephen King adaptations, The Life of Chuck and The Long Walk. Hosted on Acast.

This episode was originally released on 2/1/2020. While new episodes of Breaking Walls are on hiatus I'll be going back and posting the older episodes. ____________ In Breaking Walls episode 100 we focus on the radio career of Lucille Ball, arguably the most famous comedienne of the twentieth century. She rose through the ranks in New York as a model before a small role in Eddie Cantor's Roman Scandals brought her to Hollywood in 1933 where she gained prominence. When the 1940s began, Ball was a b-film actress known for playing the other woman. As she gained critical respect for both her dramatic and comedic ability, she insisted that her and Desi Arnaz made a perfect on-screen duo. It led to a revolution in the way TV was shot and produced in the 1950s, all under their company Desilu. —————————— Highlights: • Jack Haley, Phil Baker, and RKO • Lucy Meets Gale Gordon • How a Holiday Publicity Trip to New York changed Lucy's Life • Lucy meets Desi • Too Many Girls • Lucy and Desi Elope in November 1940 • Harold Lloyd's A Girl, a Guy, and a Gob and The Old Gold Comedy Theater • The Tragic Death of Carole Lombard and Lucy's First Miscarriage • Lucy Stars on Suspense • Desi Strays and Lucy Files for Divorce • The Couple Reconciles and Decides To Work in Radio • Desi and Bob Hope • CBS, My Sister Eileen, and My Friend Irma • Lucy Guests with Jimmy Durante and Bob Hope • Eve Arden and Our Miss Brooks • Lucy Says "Yes" to Bill Paley and My Favorite Husband is Born • Jess Oppenheimer, Bob Carroll Jr., and Madelyn Pugh Join The Team • Lucy Wants to Work With Desi • I Love Lucy is Developed and Philip Morris Signs On • The I Love Lucy Radio Pilot • Changing History and Looking Ahead —————————— The WallBreakers: http://thewallbreakers.com Subscribe to Breaking Walls everywhere you get your podcasts.

Grammy-winning producer/engineer Patrick Burkholder has lent his production expertise to chart-topping artists such as Christina Aguilera, Hanson, Snoop Dogg and Powerman 5000. Most recently, Patrick has produced High Rolling, the new solo record from LA-based rocker Regina Zernay. Patrick & Regina received mix input from legendary producer Michael Beinhorn, who gained a reputation for producing landmark albums that helped define the careers of the music industry's biggest stars. Having worked with rock icons Red Hot Chili Peppers, Soundgarden, Ozzy Osbourne and Korn to name just a few, his recordings achieved worldwide sales of more than 45 million. High Rolling was recorded almost entirely remotely with musicians from around the world including Argentina, Brazil, England, Hungary and Ukraine. High Rolling incorporates a fusion of music genres that reflect lead singer/bassist Regina Zernay's varied styles and experience, from rock & roll to blues. Regina is best known for performing with five-time Grammy winner Cee Lo Green during the height of his popularity. During her time with Cee Lo, Regina performed on Saturday Night Live, The Today Show, The Tonight Show, Late Show with David Letterman, Good Morning America, Ellen, Jimmy Kimmel and many more. She recorded with Cee Lo at the legendary BBC Studios and opened for Prince at Madison Square Garden and the Foo Fighters at Wembley. Before her time with Cee Lo, Regina was a member of the New Orleans band Cowboy Mouth and played hundreds of shows across the U.S. as well as internationally in Iraq and Kuwait. Cowboy Mouth performed at some of the nation's biggest festivals including New Orleans' JazzFest before tens of thousands of attendees. Regina most recently fronted the LA-based punk band Detroit Diesel Power which performed at famous venues throughout the west coast including the Coliseum, the Viper Room and House of Blues.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

After 8 years or so of podcasts, we thought it might be a good idea to remind our listeners of what we do and why we do it. But instead of just telling you, we thought a top 10 list would be appropriate. So this episode pays homage to David Letterman and gives you “The Top 10 Ways NOT to listen to the After Class Podcast.”

Three years before the first episode of SNL. Four years before the first episode of SCTV. Martin Short, Eugene Levy, Gilda Radner. Andrea Martin and later Dave Thomas, co-starred in a legendary production of a musical called Godspell at the Royal Alexandra Theatre in Toronto.The show that launched the careers of a whole generation of comedians is now the subject of a new doc at TIFF. Appropriately titled, You Had to Be There: How The Toronto Godspell Ignited the Comedy Revolution, Spread Love and Overalls, and Created a Community that Changed the World (In a Canadian Kind of Way).Today we speak with someone who had a front row seat to it all. Paul Shaffer, of Letterman fame, but who back in the days of Godspell was just a kid from Thunder Bay gigging in strip clubs on Younge Street. That is, until he landed the job of musical director for the play that would change the comedy world as we know it.Caleb Thompson (Audio Editor), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), max collins (Director of Audio), Jesse Brown (Editor and Publisher)Reported by Ilana GordonFact checking by Julian AbrahamAdditional music by Audio NetworkFurther Reading:You Had to Be There at TIFFYou Had To Be There - IMDBYou Had To Be There - TrailerSponsors: Squarespace: Check out Squarespace.com/canadaland for a free trial, and when you're ready to launch use code canadaland to save 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain.Douglas: Douglas is giving our listeners a FREE Sleep Bundle with each mattress purchase.

This episode of The Other Side of the Bell, featuring our own podcast host and trumpeter John Snell, is brought to you by Bob Reeves Brass. This episode also appears as a video episode on our YouTube channel, you can find it here: "Getting to know John Snell"   Who is the man behind the microphone?   You've been asking for a long time, 12.5 years and 138 episodes in fact, and today's the day: it's time to put John Snell himself on the other side of the bell!   John is the steadfast presence at Bob Reeves Brass, from the shop to the studio to the numerous conferences and events he attends every year. Many of you have met him in person over the years, and with our increasing number of video episodes, you have a better sense for what he's like.   Yet his story has only emerged in bits and pieces over all that time and all those episodes, and warrants the spotlight just as much as any of the wonderful guests who have stopped by the podcast since 2013.   And who better to interview John than the gregariously awesome Vinnie Ciesielski, who was himself a guest on The Other Side of the Bell, Episode #93 back in September of 2021.   Vinnie and John chat about how John grew up to follow in the footsteps of his professional trumpet-playing father, Keith Snell, yet forged his own path through his education, musical styles and interests, before a sudden complete career U-turn that proved to give him another solid professional foundation, alongside his continued passion for music.   And behind it all, for the past 20+ years, there's been Bob Reeves Brass. John talks about first meeting Bob and being taken under his wing, before returning with a law degree in hand to rescue the business, provide stability for Bob and his wife into retirement, and maintaining Bob's principled approach to business and customer service.   Thank you to Vinnie for encouraging the idea and bringing this episode to life, and thank you to all of our wonderful listeners and viewers for your continued support.   Don't forget to share this and other episodes with your friends in the trumpet world and beyond, and send us your thoughts and feedback!

Our summer tradition at Here’s the Thing continues, as staff members choose their favorite conversations from the archives for our Summer Staff Pick series. This week, we revisit Alec’s conversation with David Letterman, who began his Late Night gig as a self-described “gap-toothed, unknown smart ass.” Three decades later, Letterman reflects on how his comedy evolved, why he no longer makes every decision behind the scenes, and life after “stupid pet tricks.” He shares with Alec his path from weatherman to talk show host to guest-host of The Tonight Show—and how both a quintuple bypass and the birth of his son shifted his priorities.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For over thirty years, Adam Scott has been one of the most engaging, hilarious, versatile actors we have working today. Born in Santa Cruz, California, Scott, the son of two teachers and the youngest of three children, sent all of his schooling in The Golden State, as he was a graduate of the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. Post college, Scott started to get acting gigs in several feature films like Star Trek: First Contact, The Lesser Evil, High Crimes, and a notable supporting role in The Aviator, sharing scenes with Leonardo DiCaprio. At the same time, he had made a name for himself on the small screen with appearances on shows like Boy Meets World, Party of Five, and as a love interest on Six Feet Under. Growing up, Scott always dreamed of becoming either the next Al Pacino or David Letterman, becoming obsessed with Pacino as a beacon of acting for a generation as well with Letterman's obscure sense of humor tickling his funny bone. It's funny how life works out, because as Scott was making his mark in more dramatic work, the summer of 2008 changed his career forever when he starred in the latest comedy from director Adam McKay, Step Brothers, and without any improve skills to his resume, was able to land giant laughs opposite the biggest comedy star of the time, Will Ferrell. From this moment, things took off for Scott, as the following summer saw the release of the cult comedy television classic, Party Down, which followed a group of caterers in Los Angeles as they hope to make it in Hollywood. The show was cancelled after two seasons in 2010 (though it was brought back in 2023 for a third season), but as that door closed for Scott, another one opened with his role as Ben Wyatt on Parks and Recreation, a state auditor who slowly becomes the love interest for Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler). As a fan of the acclaimed NBC show, I can say that the best thing to happen to Parks and Recreation was the addition of Scott as Ben Wyatt, delivering one of the funniest characters on the show as well as one of the best television couples of the last twenty years. Since his time with the gang from Pawnee, Indiana, he's continued to showcase his range as an actor, with guest comedic spots on shows like The Good Place and Veep, was part of the ensemble for Big Little Lies, appeared in the sequel to Wet Hot American Summer, and even hosted comedic physical game show called Don't in 2020. But all of this work has lead him to the biggest role of his career so far as Mark on hit Apple TV+ drama, Severance. From the mind of creator Dan Erickson, Severance follows employeesat a mysterious company called Lumon Industries that have undergone a procedure known as “severance” to ensure that they have no memories to the outside world while they are at work, with no memory of their work life once they leave the building. This creates then the idea of an “innie” and “outie” personality within one's self, which would be dangerous if the worlds crosses, but that's exactly what happens to Mark at the end of season one, as he and his other colleges at Lumon briefly are able to bring their innie selves into the real world in their outie's body. The second season grapples with the repercussions of the rebellious Lumon employee's actions, as well as goes down various rabbit holes to show that the company that Mark works for is various dangerous as well as a deeper, personal connection to him that he could've ever known. It's riveting, thought-provoking, thrilling television that has slowly become the best show on television in large part to the excellent writing by Erickson, the inventive direction by Ben Stiller, and the incredible work by the show's massive ensemble, led by Scott, who in season two, not only gives the best performance of his career so far, but the best performance by any actor on television this year. In his glowing review of the season, our television editor Tyler Doster stated that Scott was “at his best this season,” finding “a new hunger” within his performance that grows this season as the mystery around Mark and the other characters begins to take shape. In my in-depth conversation with the Emmy nominated actor and producer, we discussed the anticipation of filming season two, the differences in playing Mark S. and Mark Scout, how trust is a key theme throughout the second season, and what it is like to be part of a global television phenomenon similar to The Twilight Zone and Lost; two shows that mean a lot to him and speak to the power of character forward storytelling. We also spoke about the dueling romantic relationships Mark finds himself in, what it is like working with co-stars Britt Lower and Dichen Lachman, the technical challenges of filming the camcorder and running sequences found in first and last episode of the season, as well as his versatility as a character actor; moving from drama to comedy, and how that helped him form who Mark is. In between all of this, Scott shared his favorite flavor of Gatorade, the need for bananas when performing stunts on set, his fondness for his time on his other beloved television series Party Down and Parks and Recreation, and why he loves the Fast and The Furious franchise. From comedy to drama to everything in between, Scott can do it all, and with Severance, he's showcasing a confidence of an actor who is destiny to continue to empty the tank until it's time to punch out his time card a long time from now. Adam Scott is Emmy-nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for the episode "Cold Harbor" of Severance.
