Mike Sweeney started writing for Conan O'Brien 30 years ago and has been right there by his side ever since. His work has fueled not only the host's two big late-night shows—with a tumultuous stint on the ‘Tonight Show' in between—but also his recent gig hosting the Oscars and his newest project, the travel show ‘Conan O'Brien Must Go,' which arrives Thursday, May 8 on Max. In this episode, Sweeney discusses this particularly momentous time in O'Brien's career, including how Donald Trump's takeover of the Kennedy Center threatened to derail his acceptance of the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor (streaming Sunday, May 4 on Netflix). Instead, like with so much of their other work together, Sweeney and O'Brien found a way to marry a hopeful outlook on the world with deeply silly jokes.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of the legendary comedian Bob Newhart.  Bob Newhart's journey to stardom was unconventional and inspiring. His story is a testament to the power of perseverance and natural talent. When he was 30, Bob was still living with his parents and working as an accountant. Despite his unassuming appearance and halting speech pattern, he quickly rose to national fame with his understated comedy routines.His debut comedy album, "The Buttoned Down Mind of Bob Newhart," was a groundbreaking success. It topped the recordings of industry giants like Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley to secure the number one spot on the Billboard charts for 14 weeks in 1960. This remarkable feat earned Bob a Grammy and recognition as the first comedian to achieve such a milestone. Moreover, he remains the only comedian to this day to win Grammy Awards for Best New Artist and Album of the Year. Bob Newhart is perhaps best known for two long-running sitcoms: "The Bob Newhart Show" and "Newhart." "The Bob Newhart Show," which aired on CBS from 1972 to 1978, featured Bob as a Chicago psychologist navigating the quirks of his patients. Suzanne Plachette played his wife, and their childless relationship was a deliberate choice by Bob to avoid the stereotypical sitcom tropes of the time."Newhart," which aired from 1982 to 1990, was another critical success. The series finale of "Newhart" remains one of the most memorable television moments, as Bob's character wakes up beside Suzanne Plachette's character from "The Bob Newhart Show," revealing the entire series as a dream. Bob Newhart's impact on comedy and television is undeniable. He was awarded the prestigious Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, a fitting recognition for a man whose work has influenced generations of comedians. A favorite anecdote among fans involves Richard Pryor confessing to Bob that he had stolen a copy of "The Buttoned Down Mind of Bob Newhart" from a record store in Peoria, Illinois. Pryor humorously settled the debt years later by handing Bob a quarter, the royalty payment Bob would have earned from the album.Bob Newhart's legacy will undoubtedly endure for generations to come. His timeless comedy and groundbreaking achievements have cemented his place in entertainment history. As we remember Bob, let us celebrate the laughter and joy he brought into our lives. Rest in peace, Bob. You will be missed but never forgotten.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media! Get all our shows on any player you love, hassle free!

I've been watching the new Steve Martin documentary, and it includes a clip of him accepting the Mark Twain Prize.He calls it “The only significant American award for comedy…except for money.”It reminded me of our own industry, but in a different way. We have many awards for creativity, and I am a creative person so I love them, but ultimately this art we do is a business art. And the ultimate measure of success is often monetary.So when I saw this lesson in a podcast guest application – ‘make people money' – I wanted to dive deeper.To hear the story behind that lesson – why he left another job function to join the marketing department – along with many more lesson-filled stories, I talked to Brad Gillespie, GM of Cvent Consulting, Cvent (https://www.cvent.com/).Cvent was a public company, until it was acquired by Blackstone for $4.6 billion last year.Gillespie estimates that over his 20 years in marketing his campaigns have influenced $1 billion in revenue.Stories (with lessons) about what he made in marketingHere are some lessons from Gillespie that emerged in our discussion.Top-down vs. bottoms-upMarketing's number is the sales' numberMarketing's job is to help the product winMake people moneyBe the causeGet it done.

He co-created one of TV's funniest shows. He still felt like a failure in his 30s. This is comedian Neal Brennan's story about conquering toxic self-talk. We all tell lies to ourselves about ourselves, usually in the form of vicious inner criticism. Neal Brennan, seasoned comedian and one of the brilliant minds behind “Chapelle's Show,” confronted his inner critic on video for our entertainment. Despite being instrumental in one of the most successful comedy shows of all time, there was a time when Brennan didn't think he had much to show for himself, especially not as a solo entertainer. The eventual demise of “Chappelle's Show” led him down a dark path of self-doubt and, then, rediscovery. Brennan worked 12-step programs, ventured into the world of psychedelics, and even tried magnetic brain manipulation to break out of his despair. Now, he has a new perspective on the value of going it alone. Turns out, it isn't quite so bad. About Neal Brennan: Three-time Emmy nominated writer, director, producer, and standup comedian Neal Brennan has become a force in the comedy world. An across-the-board talent, Neal has found success in almost every creative vein in the comedy landscape. Hailed by The Hollywood Reporter as “Hollywood's Comic Whisperer” and lauded by The New York Times as having a “hip-hop and Frontline aesthetic,” he has collaborated with top talent both in front of and behind the camera for three decades. Neal's most recent one-man show Neal Brennan: Unacceptable enjoyed a sold-out run in NYC in 2021 with The New York Times offering “Brennan starts off with a regular joke format before turning toward introspection as he exposes his doubts, neuroses and vulnerabilities. And he remains very funny as he does so.” Neal's critically acclaimed first off-Broadway one-man show 3 Mics also enjoyed a sold-out NYC run in 2016 with musician John Legend serving as Executive Producer with Paste Magazine gushing “It will floor you in the best way possible.” In a break from traditional standup comedy, 3 Mics saw Brennan alternating between three separate microphones; one for traditional stand-up, one for one-liners, and one for short confessional monologues covering everything from managing his depression to his difficult relationship with his father. Both one-man shows were taped as stand-up specials and premiered on Netflix to much fanfare and critical acclaim. Neal co-created Comedy Central's legendary Chappelle's Show, for which he received three Emmy nominations. Together, Brennan and Dave Chappelle wrote and produced virtually every sketch on the show themselves. A longtime writing partner of Chappelle, Neal was a standout speaker in his televised Mark Twain Prize ceremony, wrote on his Emmy-winning 2016 Saturday Night Live hosting turn, and co-wrote the cult hit feature Half Baked. Neal also served as a Creative Consultant and on-air correspondent on Comedy Central's The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, for which he was personally picked by Noah to be his final guest. He was Executive Producer on Chris Rock's special Chris Rock: Tamborine, Consulting Producer on Ellen Degeneres' special Relatable, and collaborator with Seth Meyers on his White House Correspondents Dinner speech. In addition to standup, writing, directing, and producing, Brennan has also directed popular commercials for Sprite, Netflix, Best Buy and Nike.
