Jimmy FaillaHOST
And I was going to comedy clubs.
Jimmy FaillaHOST
And I was watching like Chris Rock was doing sets, Robin Williams was doing sets, Seinfeld, Dave Chappelle, Louis C.K., Jim Gaffigan, and a lot of bangers who aren't with us anymore, like Greg Giraldo was crushing at the Comedy Cellar.
Jimmy FaillaHOST
No one believes me when I tell them this.
Jimmy FaillaHOST
There was an Iranian comic named Hood who would go on stage with a dynamite vest under his jacket.
Jared FreidGUEST
Um, you know, you can't do your one-man show in 15-minute sets at The Cellar.
Jared FreidGUEST
I did this in 15-minute sets at the Comedy Cellar, so, like, it was im- it's important to me to be a stand-up.
Jared FreidGUEST
That's who I am.
Jared FreidGUEST
You know, uh, like, I consider that, like a religion, like being Jewish.

Matteo LaneGUEST
And then I got back on stage a couple weeks after, and I was trying it, and it wasn't working, trying it, wasn't working, trying it, wasn't working.
Matteo LaneGUEST
And there's one of the rooms at the Comedy Cellar is called the Fat Black Pussycat Lounge.
Matteo LaneGUEST
It's a smaller room.
Matteo LaneGUEST
It holds 80 people.
Jared FreidGUEST
That started because my brother and I lived together.
Jared FreidGUEST
We were living on the Upper East Side, and I used to come home from the Comedy Cellar and I'd be like, "I tried this bit, it didn't work," and he would be in a mood from work.
Jared FreidGUEST
And I remember saying, h- I'd be like, "What do you think of this bit?" And if I caught him at the wrong time, he'd be like, "That's stupid." I'd be like, "No.
Jared FreidGUEST
Nothing's stupid.

Serena PittHOST
That's wild.
Jared FreidGUEST
Like, I, like, I was, I truly, like, burning it at both ends.
Jared FreidGUEST
Like, I was doing the live stream because I was getting screeners through a friend, and then posting them while heading on stage at the Comedy Cellar.
Jared FreidGUEST
And this is all, again, for quote "the business." Like, to get people to go to my future shows.
Jon LasterHOST
Oh, I was working to the wee hours, but the, the...
Jon LasterHOST

Jon LasterHOST
But the show I was hosting was a little bananas.

My boy Tom Papa.
Angela YeeHOST
Oh, that must have been insane last night.
Jon LasterHOST
Yeah, it was, it was crazy.
Angela YeeHOST
That's the thing about Jon Laster hosting, um, this weekly Comedy Cellar event, 'cause you never know who's gonna show up, and you've had the most iconic nights there.
Jon LasterHOST
Oh, most iconic.

These people didn't need to invent a cinematic rescue scene.
John FugelsangHOST
They were there.
