AI Is Already Taking Comedians' Jobs

Is AI already taking comedians’ jobs? In episode 147 of the Works Every Time comedy podcast, Justin Essenmacher, Markus Olind, and Phillip Garcia discuss AI-generated stand-up clips, joke theft, and whether live comedy becomes more valuable as synthetic performers flood social media. They compare their experiments with ChatGPT and Codex for video editing, booking outreach, and organizing comedy ideas—and debate what happens when convenience starts replacing creative thinking.

Then Justin’s Jamboree gets a Halloween edition: What gives Freddy Krueger nightmares? What would Jason Voorhees buy at a hardware store? And what would Michael Myers say if he finally spoke? The episode also includes Markus’s birthday, a chaotic retelling of The Boondock Saints, and Bit Pitch, where the hosts develop new stand-up material together. It’s a mix of comedy-industry conversation, horror-movie riffs, and friends turning ridiculous questions into arguments. Watch new episodes, Monday's at 11am CST on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts!
