Get Jerry on

I interview some very funny people about their careers and then get them to help me come up with ridiculous and creative ways to get Jerry Seinfeld on the podcast. I then try and follow through with those ideas and then well we just wait for Jerry to finally come on.

Get Jerry on

11. Mark Normand

August 26, 2021 • Jared Coote

Mark Normand is an American comic based in New York. His most recent special 'Out to Lunch' has over 7 million views on youtube and as a result Netflix couldn’t ignore his talent and popularity so now Mark has a Netflix special coming out later this year.

Mark tours the world doing headline shows and has done 12 late night TV appearances and has appeared on the Joe Rogan Podcast on multiple occasions.

Jerry Seinfeld - who is the star of this podcast but just doesn't know it yet - labelled Mark the best up and coming comic there is.

I talked to Mark about how the Netflix deal came about, why he initially turned it down and the awkwardness of talking to the company having bagged them out publicly for years.

We then move on to his relationship with Jerry. He opened for Jerry while he performed theatre shows in New York and he shares stories of the awkward text exchanges he has shared with the comedy legend.

We finish with ideas on how to convince Jerry to come on this thing and what he would think if he heard this podcast exists.
