Happy Happy Joy Joy. Well, Happy Happy Paula Paula. That’s how it feels whenever Paula Poundstone’s around. It was another grey rainy day in SoCal, but the sun was sure shining on the interweb. I laughed pretty much non-stop, my cheeks hurt, in the good way, and a drop of water or two squirted out mine eyes, again, in the best possible way.
We talked Paula’s care back out in the world and on the road for well over a year and a half now. Doing loads of gigs, flying everywhere, she’s more cautious than this COVID crazy, masks’ everywhere, and I mean everywhere (some crazy funny stories), and she thankfully remains free of the dreaded thing. We talked health care. For Paula that would be Diet Pepsi, Hostess donut gems, Ruffles potato chips, about 300 situps, and a long walk with her two dogs, as well as caring for her ten cats, to whom she may now be allergic. With Paula, everything’s funny––including her take on parenting, parental controls, her TV viewing, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, MSNBC, getting guests for her podcast, Nobody Listens to Paula Poundstone (except, we do), best guest, worst guest, recurring bits, self-taping an audition.
Through the years Paula remains fearlessly honest, unassumingly humble, and downright HYSTERICAL. I’m not sure a sentence goes by without garnering a genuine laugh-out-loud guffaw. I love and adore this quicker, sharper, and brighter-than-lightning, firecracker. I’ve said it before, but it bears repeating––Paula may just be the funniest person on the planet. Long may she play! With us.
For all things funny and Paula https://paulapoundstone.com
