Ep. #1066: Michael Longfellow

Michael Longfellow is here to discuss life as a lazy student and his creative writing academic pursuits, how and why he got into comedy and music as a kid, growing up with different step-parents and step-siblings and what his kinfolk think about him making jokes about them specifically, why he’s uncomfortable being compared to Norm Macdonald but why he reminded me of Norm when he was on Saturday Night Live, insights about how SNL works and why Lorne Michaels knows what he’s doing, how he actually got on the show in the first place and his background as a sketch writer and performer, what we both got out of reading a recent Lorne Michaels biography, his perspectives on not being asked back to SNL this year after three seasons and personal highlights from his time on the show, what fans can expect from his Just for Laughs Vancouver show on February 13, a new stand-up special and other writing and performance plans, and much more.
