Shalom my Emotional Support Humans. Today would’ve been Anne Frank’s 90th Birthday, so I thought it might be an appropriate time to explain why I chose to roast her on my Netflix show “Historical Roasts” and address some of the criticism from around the world. We also talk to comedian Rachael Feinstein who portrays Anne on the show. So… Long Live the great and powerful Anne Frank. Life is hard. Let’s get through it together.

My friend Yamaneika Saunders plays Harriet Tubman on my new Netflix series "Historical Roasts". She came by my NYC apartment to chat about that experience as well as some “Touchy Subjects” including the merits of the new Kentucky Fried Chicken Hotubs. Also joining is my pal and comedy historian Yale Professor Eddy Friedfeld. Life is hard. Lets get through it together.

Bob Saget is a good pal and one of the wisest men I know. He came by the bunker to talk about his new film, “Benjamin” as well as his epic appearance as Abe Lincoln on my new Netflix show “Historical Roasts”. Bob also dropped some hilarious stories about his friendship with my idol Rodney Dangerfield. “Touchy Subjects” include the recent abortion ban in Alabama plus “Roast In Peace” tributes to Doris Day and Tim Conway. Life is hard. Let’s get through it together.

“Roast in Peace” Chewbacca, may the force be with you. Plus the Sklar Brothers, Randy and Jason come by the bunker for a late night therapy session and to help me tackle some “Touchy Subjects” like the giant asteroid that might hit Earth and cocaine shrimp.

This episode is so funny. My pal, legendary voice actor John DiMaggio comes by the bunker and joyfully transforms into many of his popular animation characters including Bender from “Futurama”, Jake from “Adventure Time” and King Zog from Netflix’s new Matt Groening hit “Disenchantment”. After John (and the many voices in his head) help us through a few “Touchy Subjects” – such as my take on the recent comedian-free White House Correspondents Dinner – we chat about our long friendship and pay “Roast in Peace” tribute to the late great film director John Singleton.

Sometimes springtime is too cheery, so I decided to invite my pal, star of Netflix's "Atypical" and podcast king Michael Rapaport over to the bunker to smack talk some "Touchy Subjects". Then he sticks around for a great interview about podcasting, acting with Woody Allen, and why he thinks Trump is going to win again. We start the show with a special birthday shout out to Queen Elizabeth and it ends with a "'Roast in Peace" tribute to the legend Prince who passed away three years ago this week. Life is hard.

It's almost Easter and Passover so I invited God over to the bunker to chat about the fire at Notre Dame and other "Touchy Subjects". Then my friend and legendary funny person Fred Willard also stops by to chat about his appearance on my upcoming Netflix series, "Historical Roasts" among other things. And God isn't the only one who acts in mysterious ways. My pal master magician Bernie Shine performs some amazing audio magic. Hearing is believing. It all ends with a "Roast in Peace" of a rhino poacher who was killed by an elephant and got eaten by lions. Life is hard. Let's get through it together.

I was recently invited by The President to the White House for a reception celebrating the passing of The First Step Act. It was an emotional event commemorating the early release of many non-violent criminals who were sent away for decades after being given unfair sentences. One of those people, a guy named Troy Powell calls into the podcast to tell us what it was like to go from wearing a prison jumpsuit in the big house last month to standing on stage with the President in the East Room of the White House. We also talk to Louis L. Reed, who is the National Organizer of a criminal justice reform advocacy group called #Cut50. But the whole show kicks off with a “Roast In Peace” tribute to the great Nipsy Hussell. Life is tough. We’re getting through it together.

Comedy Central Roast fans all remember the hilariously ruthless Greg Giraldo who skewered Flava Flav, David Hasselhoff, Pam Anderson, Larry The Cable Guy and others. Greg passed away nine years ago and there’s a new biography “Greg Giraldo: A Comedian’s Story” coming out (https://amzn.to/2I3eUnR) so I had the co-author Matt Balaker over to tell us all about it. Also joining us is Greg Giraldo’s dear pal and roast writing partner Jesse Joyce. It was fun and cathartic to reminisce about Greg and hear some of his classic jokes again. We also weaved in some “Touchy Subjects” about Jussie Smullet and Cardi B.

Bluesman Gary Clark Jr. has a hot new album out called “This Land” that bends genres and confronts racism. He came by my NYC apartment to tell us all about it. He also tuned up my Stratocaster and even helped us through some “Touchy Subjects” such as whether or not Michael Jackson should be kicked out of the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame. Of course it all winds down with Gary accompanying me for a special mafia themed “Roast In Peace”. Life is hard but we’re getting through it together.
