in January of 2010, two novice comedians - Andy and Mark - started Beginnings as a way to cut through the layers of mythos that surrounded having a career in entertainment. How does one *actually* have a career in comedy? What are the realities about getting into show business? Three years and 106 episodes later, Beginnings has shed its original intent and morphed into a Freudian talk show that examines where creative people come from and what their childhoods were like.

On today's episode, Mark and Andy look back over the first 100 episodes and pick out some of their favorite moments with guests such as Daily Show-writer Elliott Kalan, Pete Holmes, Matt Besser, Ian Roberts, Tom Scharpling, Gabrielle Bell, Ethan Berlin (Totally Biased, Bunk), John Lee (Wonder Showzen), Devin Clark (Ugly Americans), Jesse Moynihan (Adventure Time), David Rees, and Jon Glaser. As Mark is also departing the show, it's also a chance to say good-bye to him and revel in melancholy!

Check out our new website for Beginnings, subscribe on iTunes and see some live dates: Andy will be in conversation with J.J. Sedelmaier on July 30th at UCB East, and the next live episode will be August 6th with Ari Shaffir and more!

Beginnings Live at UCB East’s second show! On this episode we are joined by the wonderful and funny writers/performers Julie Klausner and Elliott Kalan. Klausner has written for Best Week Ever, is the author of I Don’t Care About Your Band, is host of the podcast How Was Your Week and is the writer and executive producer of a forthcoming NBC series based on the novel Apocolipstick. Kalan is an Emmy Award-winning writer on The Daily Show, has written a number of stories for Marvel Comics and is co-host of the bad movie podcast The Flop House. With all this star power on stage, it’s surprising that Mark and Andy aren’t charred skeletons!

And don’t forget Beginnings Live's new time! Starting in April, we’ll be on the second Tuesday of the month at 8pm! Next one is April 10th and we'll have the hilarious Nick Vatterott (Conan, Fallon) and more!

Elliott Kalan is an Emmy-award winning writer for The Daily Show and co-host of the amazing bad movie podcast The Flophouse (which is worth listening to regardless of whether you like bad movies or not, as the effortless riffing and chemistry between Elliott, Dan and Stuart is delightful). Simply put, Kalan is a funny guy. Quick-witted, amiable and hard-working, he has progressed from intern to PA to writer at The Daily Show, and in this episode we sit down to discuss that journey as well as Kafka, comic books, ballet, tumbleweeds and foley sound. This episode is a little longer than usual because we had such fun talking to Kalan.
