Jonah (jonahplatt.com)(IG:@jonahplatt) continues to carve out his place on stages from Hollywood to Broadway, as well as on the silver screen. He’s most well known for his recent star turn as “Fiyero” in the Broadway blockbuster WICKED, in addition to his breakout performance as “Woof” in HAIR at the Hollywood Bowl, “Homer” in the Ovation-winningFLOYD COLLINS at La Mirada, and “Jason” in the award-winning Los Angeles revival of BARE. On television, Jonah most recently appeared in NBC’s critically acclaimed JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR LIVE starring John Legend and the season 9 finale of CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM.

This spring, Jonah will originate the role of “Marty” in the World Premiere musical A WALK ON THE MOON, at San Francisco’s American Conservatory Theater. Jonah will also voice a new recurring character, the relentlessly positive “Milton Moss” on an upcoming season of Netflix’s hit animated series, TROLLS: THE BEAT GOES ON. Jonah has made people laugh on Fox’s long-running animated hit FAMILY GUY, Mitch Hurwitz’s RUNNING WILDE, NBC’s PARKS AND RECREATION, and Cartoon Network’s ANNOYING ORANGE. He most recently wrote for the short-lived NBC sitcom MR. ROBINSON, starring Craig Robinson. Jonah is currently a co-writer/music supervisor/executive producer of ZOMBO, an undead musical TV adventure. As a lyricist/composer, Jonah is currently writing a musical adaptation of Lois Lowry’s international best-seller THE GIVER with collaborators Andrew Resnick and Martin Zimmerman.

He has performed his own genre-busting solo show for many audiences, most recently at the Gordon Center in Baltimore and a sold-out show on his home turf at LA’s Rockwell Table & Stage. As a vocal arranger, Jonah has created dozens of lush arrangements in his unique signature vocal style, many of them for nationally acclaimed collegiate a cappella group UPENN OFF THE BEAT, for whom he produced several albums, winning multiple Contemporary A Capella Recording Awards for each. He has arranged vocals for numerous other projects, including THE ALBUM PROJECT: JAGGED LITTLE PILL, a show he co-conceived, musically directed, and orchestrated at Rockwell Table & Stage. Building on this work, Jonah most recently assisted music supervisor Tom Kitt on the new musical JAGGED LITTLE PILL, currently having its world premiere at Boston’s A.R.T. this spring. As a producer and director, Jonah has used his creative artistry to enhance a variety of projects with many different collaborators. Most recently, he directed the critically lauded DOG SEES GOD: CONFESSIONS OF A TEENAGE BLOCKHEAD at The Blank Theater in LA, which was twice extended and award a Hollywood Fringe Festival Encore Selection. He also directed and produced ONE NIGHT STAND: AN IMPROVISED MUSICAL, which performed completely improvised musicals around the world, including sold-out runs at Hollywood’s Hudson Theater, the New York Musical Theater Festival and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival – the largest performing arts festival in the world. Jonah is also the former President of Starlight Studios, where he oversaw the development of many different projects, including the animated short COLD FEET, short films BAT MITZVAH CONFIDENTIAL and STEALING SUBURBIA, a commercial for social media giant Snapchat, and the music video for Sage and the Saints’ TAKE ME TO THE SOUTH, directed by Kristen Stewart. He is currently co-producing an unscripted political docuseries with 44Blue Productions, and a bio-musical of Hollywood legend James Dean with Prospect House Entertainment.

Mitch Hurwitz is the worryingly funny writer-cum-director-cum-showrunner behind Arrested Development, the cult classic sitcom that enjoyed just two and a half seasons between 2003-2006, only to come back from the dead this year thanks to Netflix and its legions of fans. In this very special Empire Podcast, the comedy genius behind Pop Pop, Franklin The Puppet, the banana stand and much more talks all about Season 4, as well as what we can expect from the Arrested Development movie...
Here's the promised podcast interview with Mitch Hurwitz and Will Arnett. Hurwitz is the creator of "Arrested Development" and Fox's upcoming animated series "Sit Down, Shut Up" airing in April. Hurwitz also has a plethora of pilots that could be picked up this season including a remake of "Absolutely Fabulous." He has a lot of insight into the creative process and how things get done in the TV industry -- much of it funny after the fact (keep an ear out for his reference to "Dollhouse"). And yes, he talks about the "AD" movie. Fans of the comedic call-back (which "AD" was masterful at) take note: Hurwitz says there are still jokes and references they planted in the series that they want to revisit in the movie. As for Arnett, he was not only in "Arrested Development" but then succeeded in a variety of small roles on the big screen and a brilliant recurring cameo in "30 Rock." He's got a voice role in "Sit Down, Shut Up," plus a holding deal at Fox (possibly for a show that Hurwitz may helm). In the meantime, he showed up here and, well, listen to what happens.
In this podcast, we make a vow: No more lies! Total transparency! "We don't know what we're doing...It's Benny's fault." We bust open the lie behind this two-part podcast fraud. Which is that we record one super-bloated podcast and then we hack it into bits. And Benny puts it back together, re-animator style. So it's not two. It's one. Filled with lies. And, as you'd expect, lameness. Chronicle media (and political) writer Joe Garofoli continues his butchery of British accents. In fact, the sun never sets on his awfulness. But hey, that doesn't stop either one of us from bringing the stupid. In fact, Joe and I do hockey announcer voices. It went pretty well. We may bring them back. We sing now with an alarming lack of embarrassment. This episode: "Ebony and Ivory" and "Don't Go Back to (Rockridge)" -- our modification of an R.E.M. song to reflect our neighborhood. Possibly some Clash. But there's always some Clash. We're like poster children for Uncut magazine. By the way, this podcast is mostly calls. We were called out -- rightly -- by Martin in S.F. for having all the e-mails in the first podcast and the phone calls in the second (we're hoping to change that, but again -- it's Benny's fault). Also, thanks to Josh in the Five and Dime for our wonderful -- and totally illegal -- opening theme song. I'll send a message to Mitch Hurwitz of "Arrested Development" fame and have him call off the legal dogs. All told -- some decent information in this one. Some e-mails. Some phone calls. A lot of patching together in a kind of miraculous fashion. And then it devolves to the point where we confuse the Dalai Lama with the Amish. Don't ask. It had something to do with being a Luddite. We're hoping to do our next podcast live from the 21st Amendment bar in San Francisco and we're confident that such a setting will greatly improve the professionalism -- and our memories. Someone asked us about "The Citizen Kane of single camera sitcoms?" Wow. Good question, Charles! Booze and beer in El Paso is what fires up a question like that. Charles is now officially invited to our remote podcast from the 21st Amendment. Even though we haven't been invited there or even set it up. Use your frequent flier miles, Charles! Oh, and Joe uses the phrases "Table-setter" and "the turkey's on the table" which are wholly inappropriate for people who don't think like we do. Apologies -- again. We would love to hear your voice. Please tell us where you're from. And your area code, because we like that kind of thing. As a bonus, if you're a woman with a British accent, we'll talk about you for pretty much the entire podcast. And for those of you keeping track, we have zero calls from Latin America and none from Tibet. Let's fix that. Lastly, on April 23rd, a full 8,729 people downloaded my interview with Michael C. Hall of "Dexter." In one day. And we have no idea why that happened on that day. If you know, please tell. And we hope you liked the interview. Cheers to all.
