College Stories

During an off week, we figured it would be a great time to re-post an old episode (original air date: 11/20/14) with a guest who has a lot going on today: Josh Gondelman. Josh was recently on Conan, also recently released an album (Physical Whisper) that hit #1 on iTunes, and is still writing for...

Kris Knight failed 7 different foreign languages in college, and now is a producer/director for Univision. Suck it, school! Kris attended Ball State University, just like our hosts, and helped produce another sketch comedy show on campus. He also worked as an RA, dealt with dummies (including a fog machine addict), and on one special...

Kim Reynolds helped bring you 6 years of VMAs (basically, she knows Jay-Z) and today she tells us about how she creatively paid for college spring break, how she chose a college (Rowan University), and she does it all while providing snacks and wine for the whole crew. What a gal! Follow Kim on her travels...

Part 2 of the “What I did instead of college” extravaganza with the story-filled Steve O’Brien. Steve tells us about growing up in the Chicago sketch & improv comedy scene, starting drinking, and getting electrocuted. Oh, and basically doing a Pee Wee Herman impression across the country. Also, if you haven’t heard part 1 with...

Steve O’Brien (actor/comedian, “Team Submarine”) is our first College Stories guest who straight up bailed on college, and instead, used that time to live some of the craziest stories we’ve had on this show. His age 18-22 college era involved running away from home, across the country, and not telling ANYBODY about it, and eventually...

Kevin has known Lance Weiss (comedian) for eight years, but only on this episode found out he was a kicker for his college football team. WHAT?! Lance shares the story about kicking for Georgetown’s (awful) football team, growing up in the deep South and wanting to get the F out, and his surprising romantic history....

Producer of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver Matt Passett talks about the mini-college that is paging for the Letterman straight out of NYU, and NYU’s supposed reputation of being “filled with d-bags.” During college, Matt interned at Conan while majoring in politics, and rode that into a career of producing TV, obviously. He also...

Episode #69, dudes!!! We’re wrapping up 2015/beginning 2016 with our third deleted scenes episode. We’ve got talk about our biggest regrets, drugs, Nic Cage, and possibly Shane’s most epic story of all time. CHECK IT! (Appearances by: Kevin, Jaimie, Jon, Shane, Elizabeth Kuchta, Kristen Lavin, Matt Wayne, Pat Driscoll, Mike Trainor, Andy Bond)

On Christmas Eve, we do a #TBT to a previous episode, originally aired last Christmas, with Kevin and his two brothers, Joe and “Owen” (a med student, who should not be super-searchable via Google for, you know, professional reasons). The newest of the McCaffreys — Jaimie — is along for the hang as well. “Owen”...

Matt Passet, former Letterman Page, Conan intern, current John Oliver producer, talks about starting stand up in college, trying to be a serious writer in grad school at Columbia, his “very Jewish” fraternity at NYU, and a smoking-related throwdown with the NYPD. Oh, and Jon Daly shows off his incredible acting skills. Follow Matt on...
