Brooke Baldwin Oct 14, 2016

Show notes

CNN Anchor Brooke Baldwin. My friend Brooke is a terrific journalist. She is a Peabody finalist and anchors the afternoon hours on CNN. I've appeared on her show, she is a tough, well-informed, and fair interviewer. I love this interview because it gives us a window into someone we see every day who has an impact on how we get our news but someone we know very little about. Brooke talks about how she got started in journalism, what her day is like covering breaking news, her world travels and a whole lot more.

Bob Costas, legendary sports broadcaster and Paul's friend who has appeared in Paul's Sports Comedy Show on HBO, talks about his beginnings in broadcasting and some of the cool jobs he's had going back to calling minor league hockey games for a team that was the basis of the team in "Slipshot." A great story. Bob tells what got him hooked on broadcasting as a kid in St. Louis, his love of baseball and the nuance needed to make a game come alive as a broadcaster. A really cool conversation you have never heard before with the best broadcaster out there.

Frank Caliendo Sep 12, 2016

Show notes

Frank Caliendo, hilarious comedian and the best impressionist out there. He had his own show on TBS, "Frank TV" and appeared regularly on FOX NFL Sunday. He also appears on ESPN. My favorite impression he does, Jon Gruden. He made his name doing Hall of Fame NFL Coach, John Madden. His Morgan Freeman is insanely good, especially when you consider Frank's a white guy, at least that's what he claims. We talk about Frank's process for preparing a new person to impersonate, his hilarious father, his influences as a comedian, how he came to start doing impressions, his love of ping pong and more.
