Pavar chats with the hilarious, talented Steve Way about all things TV, film, and comedy. Steve talks about the trajectory of his groundbreaking career from public speaking at the age of nine to becoming a standup comedian, acting on the Emmy-nominated "Ramy," and producing the incredible film "Good Bad Things" (available on Hulu).
