Thank you, a surprising lack of concern about this stereo balance problem in the top comments, as of right now.

omg his laugh was way too much

It's clear that Dave Itzkoff is a capable, intelligent person, who seems like he has a genuine interest in comedy. I do not buy his laugh is real for 1 second. I'm not saying his laugh is completely fake 100% of the time. Much of the time it seems like a real laugh, that evolves into a rehearsed laugh. Other times, the laugh is completely fake. He's young enough where he could stop, go through the awkward period where he reveals, by beginning to laugh naturally, that he was fake or over laughing, and set himself free from the burden of the exaggerated laughter. David, if you happen to read this, the embarrassment of transitioning into a real laugh will last for only a few months. Marrying yourself to this over the top, forced laugh your doing right now is the equivalent of building a prison for yourself that prevents you from every really knowing anybody, because who could get close to a guy with a laugh like that? This fake laugh is standing between you and real love. Change it, and you could be a guy people genuinely like. When you're gone, people will really miss you. Keep it, and nobody trusts you ever. I realize this comment may seem overly dramatic & a little crazy, especially because we do not know one another. But what I am telling you is true, and I feel strongly enough about it, I took the time to write this. You only live once, don't spend your one life as a fake laugher.

today, i don't think we would see this interview with a moderator. after years of listening to podcasts where comedians are talking to each other, we realize the moderator is kind of redundant

@ctdieselnut

Жыл бұрын

Podcasts usually aren't in front of a huge audience, I can see where even seasoned comedians could just fall flat going on stage with no direction, no questions, and not doing their act. Interviewing is kind of an art, and ideally the interviewer gets to compelling topics quickly, and keeps the guest talking freely. If jerry and colin just got up there and started small talk with no structure, it would be a boring mess, even as interesting as they both are. They also wouldn't have a chance to talk about as many different things that they covered. I didn't think the moderator was terrible, either. I listen to podcasts all the time, they're great to listen to in the background while doing something, but there's plenty of them that are boring, just go nowhere, or are comedians that ramble on for 20 min. at a time. It's like some of them forget they're supposed to be entertaining, it isn't a phone call lol.

Jerry Seinfeld is a genius! Comes to NBC, gets the Seinfeld series going as a creator, producer, writer and actor, has it going for 9 seasons, goes out on top at number 1, sells the syndication rights to Seinfeld the gets him $100 Million!!

The interviewer has the exact same voice as intern Dave

at 28 minutes in -- the guy from the NYT got what Rob Becker knew all those years ago with "Defending the Caveman" -- the theater is not any one genre's domain. Which is what so much of the NYT's anger was with his show.

Colin is 60 and Jerry is 65.

That 2nd button is a little high.

A good interviewer minimizes how much they talk and is there to prompt good responses and stories from the interviewees.... This interviewer is enthusiastic and genuine and he has put a lot of thought to ask poignant questions....but that's part of the problem. The major problem is in his too-long question 'set-up' -where he's answering 2/3 of the question himself instead teeing up the question and letting his guests respond with the depth and details. That leaves very little for Colin and Jerry to respond to and elaborate for themselves, other than to acknowledge and say "yeah, that's right...." --Also, some of the questions are not good... I agree with @BravoB's comment... afterwards, Jerry probably did say to Colin "that was brutal!"
