CBS News profiles Marc Maron

CBS News profiles Marc Maron

Posted by | Jul 12, 2014 | , |

On the occasion of Marc Maron’s 500th episode (and 100 million downloads!) of his WTF podcast and second season starring in the semi-autobiographical IFC comedy, Maron, CBS This Morning profiled his late blooming into comedy stardom at age 50. And here’s the kicker: “You know, when I look back on all the things I did. I don’t have any regrets. But I also know that maybe I wasn’t ready for whatever was going on. There was some stroke of cosmic timing in that — out of desperation, I turned to podcasting. Things aligned, so now I can be the...

Gabriel Iglesias on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon

Posted by | Jul 12, 2014 | |

Gabriel Iglesias knew to be gracious toward his new host of The Tonight Show, as he opened his stand-up set Friday night with more than a few minutes about how funny and sexy Jimmy Fallon is. I don’t think that’s why the show gave him not one but two videos. Nor do I think splitting up the videos is a function of how “Fluffy” Iglesias is.
