Show notes

Bryan Behar shares the story of reviving Full House into Fuller House for Netflix. Bryan also shares amazing stories from his incredible career.

Bryan Behar is a writer and producer. Bryan is a long-time Twitter friend and together we dive deep into his amazing career in television. Bryan has been a part of 21 TV shows over the past 25 years. Bryan was a big part of the Fuller House reboot including serving as showrunner for two seasons. Bryan shares experiences from Fuller House, as well as some of the other amazing shows he has been a part of such as Andy Richter Controls the Universe, 8 Simple Rules, The New Adventures of Old Christine, Last Man Standing, and Kirstie. Bryan and I also dive into the state of TV consumption and debate the merits of weekly episode releases vs binge-watching entire new seasons in one sitting. Bryan also makes his case to Hollywood to re-embrace multi-camera sitcoms. This is a really great conversation between two long-time friends finally making the time to hear each other's voices for the first time.

Laughing It Up with Maryellen Hooper Mar 08, 2021

Show notes

Maryellen Hooper discusses finding your voice as a comedian. When I had the opportunity to work with Maryellen Hooper she gave me advice that changed how I did comedy from that day forward.

Maryellen is one of the funniest and most talented working comedians today. Maryellen had one of the most popular Comedy Central specials of all time, she appeared on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno twice and in 1998 she won the funniest female comedian. Maryellen and I have a hilarious time discussing finding your voice, cruises, bad gigs, being a comedian and a parent, and famous people we've met. Super fun conversation with one of comedy's best!

Depressed Darth Vader Tells All Jan 18, 2021

Show notes

If you've laughed at a Star Wars tweet or Meme it likely came from Depressed Darth Vader. John Sullivan the man behind the parody mask shares his story of building up a parody empire and successfully avoiding being sued by Disney.

Master of Dark Side parody, Depressed Darth Vader (John Sullivan) and I reflect on some good times we shared together in London at Pinewood Studios. We also dive into how John built up his Depressed Darth concept and his approach to making hilarious Star Wars content. It's a great deep dive into masterfully using Twitter and Instagram and making money at the same time. I also ask the very important question: Has he ever been sued by Disney or George Lucas.

Our Guest, Depressed Darth Vader (John Sullivan)

More Star Wars goodness:

Look for Scott Curtis' upcoming podcast: "Do I Hate Star Wars?" and also check out Dan Zehr on the 2 episodes below.
