Bald Talk

Andy Richter is Not Bald Mar 16, 2022

As the co-host/sidekick to Conan O'Brien in all of his talk show iterations, Andy Richter has been a staple of the television landscape for almost 30 years. Andy is also a brilliantly gifted comedic actor who has appeared in numerous tv shows and films, and a podcaster with his show, The Three Questions w Andy Richter. The full pated guest chats with Brian about his brush with anxiety related hair loss during his divorce and opens up about his comparable bald spot, his insecurity about his weight. There is maybe too much covid chit chat, some admissions that their teenage daughters are teaching them how to be better humans, and some analysis of the much needed change away from the male point of view in comedy. It's a baldo and hairo having a good, old fashioned bald talk. You're welcome!

Jeff Hiller has Morphea Mar 09, 2022

Jeff Hiller is a talented improvisor and actor who plays Joel on Brian's current favorite show, the sweet and funny HBOMax series, "Somebody Somewhere."

Jeff chats with Brian about the work and self esteem challenges of dealing with the immune disorder, his transition from social work to the stage, the years leading up to finally getting on TV series, and of course, there's a fair amount of actor talk. (Actors, right?!) Jeff also shares about one role that went to someone shorter, but no less deserving.
