Bill and legendary comedian Paul Reiser go deep on all things comedy, from the early days at comedy clubs like Catch a Rising Star and the Improv, the terrible pay of early comedy, the difference between being “club funny” and what works on television, Richard Belzer, Jerry Seinfeld, Larry David, and the New York comedy scene, Paul’s experience with Woody Allen, the tension between performing “works in progress” versus polished final sets, the concept of soul mates, hiring young comedy writers, and the importance of spotting talent and the subtle spark that differentiates a promising writer or comedian from the rest.

Introducing Trump's YOLO Cabinet from Pod Save America.

Follow the show: Pod Save America

Donald Trump goes all in on naming his biggest political boosters to Cabinet posts, whether they're qualified or not (they're not!). Trump wants alleged sex offender Matt Gaetz for Attorney General, vaccine skeptic RFK Jr. for HHS Secretary, dictator sympathizer Tulsi Gabbard for Director of National Intelligence, Fox News host Pete Hegseth for Secretary of Defense, and Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy for the newly invented Department of Government Efficiency. Jon and Dan discuss the odds of Senate Republicans blocking any of these nominations, why Trump picked them in the first place, and how Democrats can respond without defending the status quo. Then, Jon sits down with Senator-elect Andy Kim of New Jersey to talk about how Democrats can listen and learn after the election, what Kim thinks of Trump's Cabinet picks so far, and learning to be comfortable with uncomfortable politics.
