In this episode of Comedy Saved Me, Lynn Hoffman talks with Jeffrey Gurian—comedian, author, comedy journalist, and longtime staple of the New York comedy world.

Jeffrey shares how laughter became his own medicine, the role humor plays in healing both physically and emotionally, and why he believes comedy is one of the most powerful forces for connection and resilience. From behind-the-scenes stories with legendary comedians to his personal journey of overcoming challenges through positivity and joy, Jeffrey reminds us that comedy can truly save lives—including our own.
