S5 Ep6: SPECIAL GUEST: The Funny "Not Funny" JENA FRIEDMAN

Jena talks about her new book “Not Funny: Essays on Life, Comedy, Culture, Et Cetera,” what long form improv taught her, how Chicago wasn’t such a fan of hers (but NYC was), an incident with an interview where she was taken very out of context and made to look bad and forever deemed “The Muse of Mediocrity." Jena and Carmen also compare their experiences at the Edinburgh Festival. Finally, Jena talks about working with Sasha Baron Cohen on the Borat sequel as well as her time on Letterman. Oh, and there’s also a really fun technical glitch!

“Silly, sick and stuck together." Carmen Lynch (@carmencomedian) is a stand up comic ("The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon," "Conan"). John Reynolds (@afistfulofbabies) is an Emmy winning comedy writer (“Late Late Show,” “The President Show”). They’ve been dating for MANY years and never worked together until the coronavirus forced them into self-quarantine forever. Episodes 1 through 7 were recorded in John's mother's car at an undisclosed location surrounded by most of John’s family. The rest...well...you'll just have to listen.
