Not My Best Moment with KevOnStage

Tony Baker on School Setbacks, Pilots That Didn’t Go, and Loving the Grind


Listen Later

Kev talks with comedian and actor Tony Baker about the long, often unseen road to success in entertainment. Tony shares the hilarious story of failing seventh grade, opens up about the devastation of a network pilot not getting picked up, and the heartbreak of not advancing on Last Comic Standing. The two dive deep into the realities of stand-up comedy, scraping by on low-paying shows, bombing onstage, rebuilding confidence, and learning how to survive when the industry feels completely out of your control. Tony explains how his faith, love for stand-up, and relentless work ethic helped him push through years of rejection, divorce, and financial uncertainty.

Along the way, there are plenty of laugh-out-loud stories about brutal crowd reactions, unforgettable bombing moments, and why loving the craft, not the spotlight, is what ultimately kept Tony going.
