From 1994 on, he starred in one movie and did tiny parts in a few others. He has literally zero on his imdb resume between 2002 and 2010 besides a credit that looks like it's just reusing old stuff. Unless he is a giant diva and is somehow impossible to work with, this looks like someone who checked out on acting…

No, I'm sure. Dana Carvey also claims that by and large he gave up opportunities once he moved away from Los Angeles. He didn't retire, but he certainly wasn't very active.

Tompkins isn't even that great an impressionist - he nails John C. Reilly and his Herzog has gotten pretty good, but a lot of his other impressions were never close and never even tried to be. Doing an impression for humor really isn't about total mimicry.

I watched it a few years ago, and while it's not how you remember it, it's still okay. It's very upsetting to me that his sons are now opening for him - in that special they were like 2 and 4 years old.

Carvey has started doing voice work in movies - do you honestly think he couldn't've been doing that for the last 20 years? Or even gotten a sitcom or anything? He didn't want to do it. That's not to say he's some amazing talent who walked away - he isn't that either. But he's been in like 7 movies in the last…

This is a baffling claim. Dana Carvey basically walked away from Hollywood for 20 years. I believe he was NBC's first choice to host a 12:30 show after the new Leno Tonight Show but he turned them down. Now while I doubt Carvey could've had Stiller's career, he certainly could've done a lot more than he chose to.

I would say that his George H. W, Bush impression is one of his worst and obviously his most memorable. But the truth is that George H. W. Bush is not an interesting person to have a perfect impression of. He's a very straight-laced patrician New England guy. Adding that level of hammy wackiness is what sells the…

What he's doing isn't just The Monster Fuck though; it's the whole character of Leo Karpaze, which indulges Wiger's clear love of arcana. I doubt he thought he'd still be doing it 5 years later.

It was a lot of fun - love hearing Wiger on CBB, love the Monster Fuck, love Dr. Traygo - but geez if they're still doing this in a few years, I don't know.

On the one hand, plenty of performers are 'broken', but on the other hand, people will @ podcasters on twitter and say 'I didn't like this week's episode', so who's the person who can't deal with other people in this scenario?

Was it worth going and were things relatively well-attended? I don't live anywhere close but I am tempted to go next year if they have it again.

Podcasts - at least comedy podcasts - exist in a weird entertainment space because they're usually free but people don't really seem to get work off them. It's sometimes hard to tell who gets paid for doing them and who doesn't. A lot of times the people doing them don't really exist in a secure place in the…

Yeah, the Claudia/Weird Al/McKenna episode was really solid. I've really enjoyed Jess McKenna the two times I've heard her on CBB (and I think when I've heard her on i4h) - she hasn't showed a ton of vocal range in the two characters she's done on CBB, but if she gets a few more characs I could see her being a…

Yeah, I don't know how he does it. I've heard Lapkus do it on her show but there there's typically not many interactions between the characters she's playing. Is there any episode with Mantouzkas and Small? I feel like Mantzoukas would spend the entire episode trying to get him to fuck up which person was which.

I'm amazed at the performance, but somehow I just don't enjoy it - when Scott said 'I figured something out today, this show might just be annoying', I was like, yeah, I can hear that. I'm the one missing something because Victor and Tiny episodes often end up in the Best Of, but I usually just get confused and…

It was very stupid. Highly recommended. One thing I like about those episodes of WSGLL with a lot of people on is that they have the chaos of a live improv show - even though they have the veneer of 'being a podcast', they seldom stay that way for long.

I did feel bad for him - his whole job is sucking up to celebrities, and he knows that Donald Trump is the big wheel at NBC. That said, his 'Give The Donald a kiss' line is especially gross. I see why NBC said on Sunday that he was keeping his job' - he was a company man in that video for sure; keep the talent…

On occasion I have to work around high-schoolers and I have to use my phone as part of my job - I realized about halfway through one of these sessions that the phrase 'Fart Face Fuckers 2' was on my phone's home screen every time I had to re-open my phone because of Howl.

PFT is always very concerned with how much stage/air time people are getting - the second he opened his mouth there I knew it was going to be about Gino going over his 'time'.

Have only listened to the first 2 UK episodes but yeah, Gabrus brings a different dynamic. One thing I love about him is that he is much more willing to bomb than Lauren or Paul who tend to stay in character and on topic - their characters rarely give more information than necessary. Gino Lombardo will just ramble…
