Take Your Shoes Off w/ Rick Glassman

What a treat to celebrate Hanukkah with COMEDY LEGEND, Larry Charles. Writer, Director and Producer, you know his work on Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiam, almost all of the Sacha Baron Cohen movies and of course, as a Take Your Shoes Off alum. Per the holiday spirit, Rick gives Larry a few gifts. One inspires a story about how he came up with the idea to have Jerry Stiller play George's dad on Seinfeld. One, they smoke. Any guesses on the other two? (HINT: you can get one of them here) Once high, Larry talks about what makes the greats, like Jerry Seinfeld, so great at stand-up and gives Rick a little advice. Larry say the holidays are nostalgic, and how he tries to avoid nostalgia. And, you can't have Larry over TWICE without pitching him a project. So Rick does just that! Stay tuned until the end to see if Larry wants in! Want this podcast with video?? Check it out on YouTube here! Thank you Goblins for joining me on this wild ride of #8NightsOfTYSO. It has been a LOT of work, and we're almost done. Join Rick as he hosts his first guest of TYSO, and last guest of 2019... Jon DeWalt!! Get the new TYSO shirt here!

Here we go, Night SIX Goblins and Boppers! It's Lamorne Morris (New Girl, Game Night, Bloodshot) who managed to make it, despite a flat tire and inappropriate "sexy" dress code. Luckily for him, TYSO guests are only a snap away from an outfit change. Rick manages to get a very sweet Christmas elf to deliver his gifts this evening. This episode is filled with music interludes (beatbox anyone?) and cut-to’s that we know all you goblins love. The two get a hot chicken delivery from the amazing Howlin’ Rays, and Rick does his best audition for Hot Ones (shoutout to TUMS) while Lamorne attempts to stick to his healthy diet... can he resist? We hope all your holidays are as smooth as tonights guest, and a happy night 7 of Hanukkah! #8NIGHTSOFTYSO only has two nights left!

Another night, another lit candle, another repeat guest! This time it's actor and stand-up comedian, Jon Rudnitsky (Saturday Night Live, Catch 22, Home Again, Conan). They order some takeaway (PA-TA-TAS anyone?) and get into the bits pretty quickly. Rick’s gift giving continues, this time it's one both Rudnitsky and his girlfriend can enjoy… kinda. Just like Jon’s first shoes off visit, they manage to get a bit high and spend the episode being the ultimate Yes-And duo. You’ll see costume changes, act-outs, and enough Justin Timberlake content to last you through 2020. #8NIGHTSOFTYSO is on it’s home stretch so keep tuning in for the final three guests: Lamorne Morris (New Girl), Larry Charles (Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm) & Jon Dewalt (Who Cares) ft. a Christmas Cherub.

A warm welcome on the forth night of #8NightsofTYSO to Esther Povitsky! The stand up comedian and actress (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Dollface, Alone Together) is back for the second time to rehash the Bang Up!, Bang Down! Theory with Rick. Like her first visit they slip into their teasing dynamic and navigate another neighbor interrupted episode.

In this weeks episode, Rick interviews the impressive improv talent that is Betsy Sodaro. She sits down with the “Yes, And” energy only an accomplished improvisor can. The two discuss the differences between improv and stand up, how she managed to get onto an improv team so quickly, and her ambitions for a female version of Tommy Boy. You can find her there preforming at UCB with the house team, Bangarang! weekly. Subscribe you fools or YOU DON'T WATCH!Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/takeyourshoesoff

Hey 👋 Goblins! This week, Rick sits down with a legend of film, television and stage... Joe Mantagna (man-teen-nah). They discuss his decades of award winning work like The Simpsons , Godfather III, Searching For Bobby Fischer, The Three Amigos and 8000 other things. The two met playing father and son on a new amazon pilot about Autism. A topic close to Joe's heart and home, as his daughter was diagnosed at a young age. Joe, ever the professional, gets right into the bits and jokes with Ricky and is most defiantly an honorary goblin. Autism Speaks Asperger / Autism Network I'm Not A Comedian...
