Baron Vaughn Releases His Inner Conflict Nov 13, 2017

Show notes

There are two kinds of people in the world: people who have gone on Eugene Mirman's show, Hold On, to tell a story and answer Eugene's questions about it; and those who have not gone on Eugene Mirman's show, Hold On, but would probably enjoy listening to it. Sharp-witted comedian Baron Vaughn (Mystery Science Theater 3000, Grace and Frankie) can now say in all honesty that he has successfully transitioned from the latter to the former. He dropped by the studio to spill his guts (among other things) about a revelation he had in the jungle while on ayahuasca. Trippy!

Show notes

On this episode of Hold On, host Eugene Mirman sits down with fellow comedian Ken Reid to hear a story about his super-weird neighbor Eddie Murphy -- no, not THAT Eddie Murphy.

Greg Proops Gets All Shook Up Oct 23, 2017

Show notes

San Francisco in the late '80s was a real swinging place - sometimes literally, as was the case during the Loma Prieta earthquake. Seasoned improviser, actor, and comedian Greg Proops (Whose Line Is It Anyway?) remembers being in the city as it was thrown into chaos in this harrowing episode of Hold On with Eugene Mirman. Greg and Eugene get into the stalled World Series, pilfered cookies, crazy landlords, and terrified house cats that all colored Greg's recollection of that historic day.

W. Kamau Bell Encounters Imperfect Strangers Oct 09, 2017

Show notes

Kamau Bell is no stranger to getting approached by strangers since he's a TV personality (Totally Biased, United Shades of America), prolific stand-up comic, and father of two undeniably adorable daughters. The reasons he gets approached, however, don't always relate to who he actually is or what he's actually doing with a cute baby in his arms. His stories of awkward and imperfect strangers find their perfect pairing with the questions and comments Eugene Mirman brings to the table in this entertaining episode of Hold On with Eugene Mirman. W. Kamau Bell originally told this piece for RISK! in 2012.
