Larry Miller is many things - actor, writer, podcaster, raconteur - but above all he calls himself a comic. He talks with Marc about being part of the comic brotherhood and the uncommon perspective he gained after a terrifying incident after a show in San Francisco. Plus, Marc makes a startling discovery on the road in Denver. This episode is sponsored in part by Comedy Central.
I love Larry Miller, and I don't feel that way about any other comedian, comic actor or humorist known to hold conservative political views. Maybe it's because he doesn't air his politics onstage, though he certainly does in other public venues.
I fully expected Marc to probe this aspect of Larry's persona and compare/contrast his roles as comedic performer and political commentator. But no. I came away thinking that either a pre-interview agreement about topics had been made, or Marc had been simply mesmerized by Larry's style. In any case Mr. Miller took complete control of the episode, and revealed not the tiniest insight into what shapes his comedy or how his mind works. He is a very good storyteller indeed.
p.s. I like dogs AND cats.
sounded like Marc was uncomfortable with the elitism, but he didn't call it out so I guess he owns it now.
some people have boring jobs, larry miller. they're the people that make it possible for you to have the kind of life you have. try being less of an entitled prick next time you have dinner with one of them.
