- We're joined by Danielle Cassidy (
@skittishkid) - our first ever listener guest host and our new BiteCon BFF!
- Danielle's here because she knows, like, EVERYTHING about the comedy career of our very own Orny Adams!
- This episode focuses on Orny's history as a stand-up comedian before
Teen Wolf, and on his performance as Coach in the show.
- We learn how he started out as a writer for some of the biggest names in late-night TV comedy and how he gained notice - some not so positive - when he was featured in his friend Jerry Seinfeld's documentary,
Comedian.
- How did he end up being know as the "most hated comedian?"
- Before all that, though, he never even planned to pursue comedy! He was going to be a lawyer!
- If you haven't heard the story already, we recount how Orny got cast on
Teen Wolf - without even having to audition.
- We talk about how he's more comfortable interacting with people onstage than off - quite a common trait among stand up comedians - and how a very memorable experience with a comedy legend has made him a little braver in that regard.
- We watched his dvd
Orny Adams: Takes The Third to prepare for this podcast, and we all give our personal reviews of the show, including his style in general, the best moments and our favorite jokes.
- Natalie's used to a slightly more depressing style of comedy, but the moments of social commentary here really stuck out!
- Karen and Danielle both feel some of the stories Orny tells on a powerful, spiritual and emotional level.
- We talk about Coach Finstock, obviously, and Orny's performance in his first scripted role. We are always impressed by the comedy and the nuance and how he's a very unique character.
- You can't talk about Coach without mentioning Greenberg - do we ever want to see the mystery man? Danielle has a pretty fantastic idea for how it would happen.
- We experienced meeting Orny at BiteCon, which was his first
Teen Wolf convention! We tell you why he's an ideal con guest.
- We read some Orny-loving tweets from our listeners, and remember some of
Coach's best lines from this article.
- We let Danielle ask the non-sequitur question this week, and it's a ridiculous one.
- Not Another Teen Wolf Podcast and Hypable will be present at
Indy Pop Con next weekend! Come see us!
