Oh WOW! The newest WTF podcast episode with Jesse David Fox is an absolute must-listen for comedy nerds like myself.
And Marc Maron dropped a fun tidbit I had NEVER heard before: He had asked Bo Burnham to direct his comedy special! 🤯
Tumblr media
Here's my transcription of Maron on Bo and his brilliance:
You had, you frame it in the final, the beginning of the latest, uh, version of what you would call alternative comedy and it has its place, but you know, outside of Bo Burnham, who I think had out of all of them as, as a comedic visionary. Well, he's the guy.
You know, like that thing he did during the pandemic and also all his stuff. That this is a guy that takes emotional risk, but also is insanely talented, like you said.
And intellectually, uh, up for the challenge...And I asked Bo to direct my last one just cuz I thought well maybe you could do something interesting with me because I'm actually a fucking bleeding wound half the time, but he was polite and said he was in a deal with Netflix. Why would he want to? I was condescending to him.
So that was exciting to hear! Maron and Jesse also go into Rothaniel and the contentious interview with Jerrod Carmichael, the art form of the special irself, and what vulnerability is in comedy.
Tumblr media
Highly recommended, and I now have to read the book knowing Jesse discusses some of my favorite comedians (and calls Maria Bamford one of the best of all time—love it)!
Tumblr media
Enjoy the podcast, and keep it here for more comedy fun! ✌🏼🐔

Hi, everyone! Since all of my tweets as UBBH have now vanished, I just wanted to create a list of some of my more popular Twitter threads that I’ve copied onto my site:
My 13-part series about Bo and his comedic influences (based on a Facebook Note he wrote to his fans in 2010, which I use as a springboard to explore how that comic has impacted Bo and his works)
My 4-part series of interviews about Rothaniel audience members (including myself!) who were fortunate enough to attend a taping of the Emmy-winning comedy special
My ongoing series of interviews with Content Creators: Sean Himmelberg, Isabel Descutner, and Davy Kynoch
My ongoing series of posts analyzing Jerrod Carmichael and the symbolic importance of his clothing choices
Easter eggs in Inside and the Inside Outtakes you might have missed when first viewing the specials, including the MANY appearances of my beloved disco ball 🪩 and Socko
My primers on Bo’s works and Jerrod’s works, including how to watch them (planning on a Lorene Scafaria one and a Kate Berlant one soon!)
My series on Bo and food/drink preferences: peanut butter, Red Bull, breakfast cereal
My once-a-day recommendations for Inside video essays and Inside content online
And, of course, the thread that kicked off everything for me: the popular Bo repurposing his old clothes in Inside (with a bonus look at his favorite gray hoodie!)
I hope you enjoy reading my threads from the past year, and stay tuned for lots more fun! ✌️

“He loves me despite — that’s the thing. It’s a little condescending, you know? It’s love with an asterisk.” - Jerrod Carmichael, Rothaniel (on HBO)

🏳️‍🌈💪🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Reposted from @nativesonnow Let Your Life Be A Testimony. Comedian #JerrodCarmichael’s stunning revelation in #Rothaniel his @hbomax special was a masterpiece in “coming out” and simultaneously “inviting in” on a major platform. His emotional journey won him an Emmy Award and inspired many in the LGBTQ community and allies. "It's uncomfortable but exciting,” Carmichael told @outmagazine noting how the complicated reality of coming out "feels true, and is often unseen.” Congratulations on gracing the cover of the #Out100 📷 @coyotepark / @googlepixel #Testimony #ComingOut #InvitingIn #RepresentationMatters #Hollywood #Comedy #EmmyAwards #Truth #Authenticity #Courage #Media #Winning #BlackBoyJoy ##SeenOnPixel #OurVoice #OurStory #OurPower #NativeSon https://www.instagram.com/p/Ckgfsh5rxCA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Bo Burnham in 2018 (director of Eighth Grade), mentioning in a DePaul interview which types of scenes someone had told him not to include in a film:
"Like probably don't have it snowing. Yeah, I was told that, so I didn't do that."

I guess he didn't end up taking that person's advice in the long run! ❄️

just finished watching the carmichael show in its entirety and now i’m watching all of jerrod carmichaels stand up specials:
That show is amazing and i wish there were more episodes
Rothaniel was absolutely perfect. therapeutic. I felt so closely connected to him like he was taking right to me. It was filmed beautifully,like a piece of art. I could watch it a million times. also it was equally uncomfortable and freeing to watch.
I’m currently watching 8 and it’s so cool to see all the references from his real life that have be woven into his show. Rothaniel gives the real behind some storylines that were in the show as well.

I did not get to see the entire #emmys and am just now learning @jcarmichael8 #jerrodcarmichael won. I did see the other shows in his category and his was brilliant and honest. It's hard to truly expose yourself. I know this personally because many tears were shed while developing #babygirlplay WELL before #babygirltvshow became reality. @dorothyknows cried while writing her own story and confronting the pain she went through in her #racialjustice work This is why I have little respect for people who write something and throw it on stage or throw it on film without actually doing the work. I'm not naming names!! #jerrod did the work and (though I don't strive to create for awards) he deserved this. He also did an accompanying mini-doc where he talked to family members which was very inciteful and healing. I too had difficult conversations with my mom in the early days of crafting Babygirl. One question changed my life forever. And that question is another layer explored in #gooddaughterplay about #codependence and the role it played in our relationship.. Talk to your people now. While they are here. I am very grateful I asked her everything. I never got to do the same with my brother... CONGRATS JERROD for #rothaniel !!! **Fun Fact: Mom and Jerrod both hail from #winstonsalem https://www.instagram.com/p/Cir3tdIuoF5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hi, everyone!
Tonight is the Golden Globes ceremony, hosted by Jerrod Carmichael 🙌🏼
Tumblr media
It's his first time hosting an awards ceremony, but he did host a very memorable episode of SNL (and wore a gorgeous white suit for the occasion).
Tumblr media
If you'd like to learn more about the comic before his big night, I've got a number of posts for you to peruse! 👀
First, there are the items about Jerrod Carmichael Week, an event I held on Twitter last March prior to the premiere of Rothaniel on April 1st:
A primer about his works leading up to the comedy special
Jerrod's experiences with comedy clubs
A breakdown of the DND podcast episode
A look at Bo and Jerrod's friendship (be sure to listen to their A24 podcast episode!)
Jerrod and premieres (he's had a memorable outfit on the red carpet since that list haha)
Tumblr media
If that's not enough for you, I also have my ongoing series about Jerrod and his sartorial choices (clothing is very meaningful to him, and he chooses his items carefully).
Finally, I have a series of firsthand interviews with audience members who attended one of the four tapings of Rothaniel, including me (one of the best nights of my life!).
I hope you find these articles to be helpful, and don't forget to watch tonight—maybe Bo will show up to support his best friend? We'll see! ✌🏼
