What's So Funny? with guest Nardwuar the Human Serviette - June 14, 2009

Our fourth and final episode with the late great Darryl Lenox. This is from 2017. I hope you enjoyed the look back at the man and his career.

The late Darryl Lenox always loved to help younger comics. In this episode, we see it in action as he co-hosts and asks the questions (often Socratic) to Paula Antil. This hasn't been heard since it aired on April 29, 2012.

From 2009, here's the Odd Couple of standup, the late great Darryl Lenox with his former roommate, the irascible Richard Lett. It's a fun one.

Darryl Lenox passed away earlier this week. He was a guest on our show 4 times over the years, and we're going back to his first time with us waaaaay back in 2007 to rerun. He was a great one, both as a comedian and a person. He'll be missed.

It's been a tough calendar year, with the deaths of former WSF? guests Norm Macdonald and Matt Billon. We lost another one this weekend when Bob Saget passed away at the age of 65. He was a super guy and we were lucky to have him guest with us in September 2020.

Eddie Izzard stops by the What's So Funny? virtual studio on her Canadian tour. We talk about the real names of Biblical characters, making humanity great again, gender fluidity, and gaming the system.

Norm Macdonald was just the greatest guest... and the greatest guy. In this, our most-listened-to episode, we had a semi-serious (okay, almost completely serious) 1.5 hour conversation ranging from family to science to God to comedy to literature to death to cancer. Some of it is especially hard to listen to now that he's gone. Recorded in 2012.

Darcy Michael makes his sixth appearance on the program. The break-out star of the Halifax Comedy Festival explains Tik Tok to us, talks about his High School Sucked podcast, we discuss who'd make the best Jeopardy host, and the host promises to get a new computer.

Jacob Samuel has had a great year, Covid be damned. His album, Horse Power, was nominated for a Juno Award. We talk to him about it, jokes, Zoom, cats and dogs, and Larry Sanders. Plus we play a track from his album – it's legit funny.

Jackie Kashian has us in the palm of her hand in this episode. The former Wisconite comedian and host of two podcasts dorks out on The Dork Forest, extols the benefits of Zoom standup, talks of Kinison, Rickles, Burr and Bamford, and tells us where she got her optimism from.
