Breaking Bread with Kathleen Madigan

[@sallybp2484]

I can watch Kathleen's specials over and over and laugh every time like it's my first time seeing it.

[@Swimdeep]

Same. She’s totally hilarious.

[@spritespring8035]

I also watch them over and over again I go to sleep to them every night.

[@kennetpon]

I agree she's just naturally funny just like Jim Gaffigan

[@christinedelosreyes928]

I love this podcast!

[@patriciahare4433]

Same😂

[@chrisblevins755]

Kathleen is the best. Love her, her work has brightened some of my darkest days.

[@tommierobertson1024]

I hear ya - music and comedy has saved my life.

[@frenchtoast7742]

Same here . Had a very long illness and she helped me out a lot . ❤

[@IamThatiAm420]

Kathleen is the most authentic comedian out there!

[@NcGatorMom]

My husband and I are 76 and 82 and we've been to two of Kathleen's shows. Even drove 8 hours to our first show.

[@cathithomas2888]

Awesome! She’s well worth the trip!

[@kayellis5575]

Way to go gators!

[@wesleypatterson2883]

Shusi is bait.

[@wesleypatterson2883]

Bait

[@ashleymartin2393]

I'm 35. Kathleen on cable was my therapy in an Irish Catholic household. Fantastic episode!

[@singlelifeok]

I'm 65 and feel the same! Six kids all went to Catholic school. Love her

[@georgepratt4988]

I think Kathleen is the only “idol” I could meet and chat with, that wouldn’t ruin it for me. She’s legit herself, and I have so much respect for that.

[@JenBriSeth]

I love Kathleen. I went to school at the University of Missouri-Columbia in the late 80s, early 90s, and would go see her at Deja Vu every time she rolled through. She's great.

[@MissingMars]

so enjoyed this! thanks Tom & Kathleen -also glad you moved the mics out of your faces in later episodes.

[@voodooladyink6869]

Two of my favorite human beings who also happen to be hilarious... despite the weather, this is a good day. Thanks, papa!

[@mccloysong]

Tom's a generous non-interrupting interviewer that graciously let Kathleen (I'm pretty sure that was her behind the mic) to complete her great stories.

[@lynnnewlin4395]

She's so flipping cute!!!!!

[@YvonaLive4Love]

There are certain comedians that you could watch over and over again, same jokes, and still laugh your pants off 😂Kathleen Is definitely one of my favourites I laugh so hard I feel like I’ve done a ton of situps by the end of her show 😆😂🤣😂

[@suestory3046]

I adore Kathleen Madigan. So funny, so real, so down to earth. I feel like I'm listening to a girlfriend 😂. I can watch her comedy over and over. Naturally hilarious lady!

[@jazzjokesjalopies]

Two of my favorite comedians, together -- can't top that. 😃

[@shannonatkinson7980]

100%. 2 awesome, funny people who make me laugh every time. 😂❤

[@Anne--Marie]

This is a great interview! Kathleen, Kris Kristofferson is suffering from Lyme disease. It was initially diagnosed as Alzheimer's due to his symptoms. Kathleen, your humor is fantastic! And your heart is kind. Saw you in Ft. Myers a few years ago and laughed harder than I thought possible. It was my first time going anywhere after the pandemic began and you lifted my heart. Many thanks

[@Dee-ty9ny]

What a great interview. Kathleen Madigan is a favorite comedian. No, she will never run out of thoughts, and when she's done with the tours & the stage, I'd love to read the book that Will downpour out of her brain, over her tongue, into some transcriber's ear, and onto the page.

[@CraigMayhem]

As someone who is Autistic (and lives in STL) I appreciate that Kathleen can joke about Autism without making fun or ridiculing it. I watched her special last night and it's great! Also if you want authentic Mexican food in STL, head down to Cherokee Street. Lots of Mexican owned businesses and restaurants with delicious food.

[@M_SC]

She does that with a lot of topics, it’s awesome

[@DanceintheRaine666]

I agree. I dislike "comedy/comedians" that is/who are hateful/nasty/condescending....Kathleen's observations are spot on without being unkind.

[@stltourgirl]

Yes! We drove from STL to CoMo for the fundraiser for her nephew for MO Autism. You have special gifts. Glad you are here!

[@cj_kirby]

Kathleen is a treasure. Thanks for having her on with you. You were both just so great and wonderful to listen to your friend to friend conversation.

[@marikaharrison341]

Watching Tom and Kathleen's specials got me through some really tough times ❤

[@irmazandl]

What a great discovery - Kathleen Madigan is fabulous. Thank you Tom Papa. 💕🙏🏻💕

[@jenefervankylen5443]

Love both of these people! They are the chicken soup on a cold winter’s night. I urge everyone to share all their specials with your family and friends. They will make you laugh out loud and remember the good old days

[@stephaneelee1466]

I love Kathleen so much!!! Her pubcast and yours are part of my weekly routine! Love when worlds collide like this 🥰

[@lalah9481]

OMG!!! My favorites!💖💖💖🤣🤣🤣 Thank you for having mama Termite on the show.

[@hbeachley]

Where did the termite thing come from? I’ve watched all of her specials, listen to her podcast, and I must have missed that. I feel so “out of it.”

[@lalah9481]

@@hbeachley Kathleen has a KZbin channel, during lock down she read books to us. She would end each night with ‘night night Termite’; it originated with her buddy comedian Ron White. So he’s papa termite, she’s mama termite, and the lock down fans are the termites. She even made a shirt with ‘night night termites’ on it, really cute. It’s a great series with her commentary throughout, makes ya love her even more!🤣💖

[@hbeachley]

@@lalah9481 Thank You! This has been driving me crazy.

[@dienglish7777]

​@hbeachley she mentioned something like Ron White once bid farewell by saying 'Night-night termite'. She always liked it.

[@PaulBlalock-vd6pj]

What a treat! Two of my favorites together. Thanks for the laughs. Thanks for helping me keep a positive perspective in a crazy world. Rah!

[@tommierobertson1024]

Why do I love this so much? Two comedians just talking has me so engaged. Haha at the "Dayton" reference (Cleveland here). I just started watching these "Bread" talks and I love them. Kathleen you rock! Thanks, Tom.

[@philwright2480]

Two of the G O A T , two of my favorite comedians

[@ritahassing2533]

I love you guys, so funny! Kathleen, when ya come to Atlanta, ill see ya. ❤Im from Minneapolis, but stuck in GA. Cheers!🎉

[@wendyhanberg8733]

Omg she is describing my parents, and my childhood. I’m bout an hour from Chicago, moms 💯 Irish!!!

[@aristereno260]

Great interview. Love to hear you two!

[@kristenwhite2701]

So glad that even when you retire your specials will always be streaming somewhere and I won’t get sick of them. Hopefully these Podcasts will stay forever on KZbin. We are so lucky that you do this for us. We can’t all see you on the road anyway. Kathleen’s Pubcast’s have kept many of us going and she has kept up even after the pandemic. New every Wednesday and great stuff. We are spoiled, and yes, I go nuts with the comments like I am here. Just so much to respond to. If you can keep that up you don’t need the road. You’re legends forever. When people are quoting you regularly I think you’ve made it (not that you weren’t already, but think you can gain followers without touring, it just doesn’t pay well other than getting praise)

[@monicawilliams1843]

My 2 favorite comedians, TOGETHER! LOVE YOU KIDS!

[@floperry1132]

OP 51:46 51:46 😅

[@WildaConnell]

Thank You so much for this interview of Kathleen & your podcast in general - such a bright spot in my day.

[@carole6779]

Awesome. What a great conversation. Thanks for breaking bread with Mama Termite! 🥖 😄👍

[@matthck1]

I've just rediscovered Kathleen as of late. I forgot how much I love her work. I'm hoping to see her tour this year.

[@georgepratt4988]

I LOVE that she does 1/3 1/3 1/3. YOU BETTER tell those old jokes. The most naturally hilarious person/comedian I’ve ever come across. Love You Kathleen!

[@matttrafton2725]

Finally saw her in Santa Rosa. I laughed so much , along with my mid 70s mom, my throat was sore afterwards. One of the best deliveries in the laughing biz. My she live long and prosper🖖

[@kierstenridgway4634]

Her song starts playing in my head!! Thanks! That's gonna last all day! 😆

[@jenniferfuchs4949]

Love this!! 2 of my favorite comedians. Keep us laughing, please! We need you!

[@colleenhathaway8415]

I just learned about her. Love her style. She's such a good storyteller

[@radiokarla]

You two are a couple of my absolute favorites! Thank you for this 😊👍

[@scrappysinger]

I never tire of Kathleen. Love her pubcast every week!❤

[@joansquires3827]

Love, love, love Kathleen! And Tom. And Jim. Awesome, so fun! 😂🎉

[@gregmock6808]

Having grown up in a small town in the midwest in the 50s and 60s she just hits my funny bone everytime I see her!

[@ClaySanford-e8o]

Thanks Kathleen and Tom! U guys really brighten up my day ❤

[@joanneflowers7771]

My 2 favorite people!!! Kathleen Madigan and Tom Pappa!! ❤👏🤪👏👏

[@sueveleke455]

great conversation, thanks

[@honey_bee_33]

Love both of these guys! I was dying when Kathleen said her mom's favorite comedian is Bobby Lee. She should do Tigerbelly!

[@valleygirl2530]

I love you two both separately and together. Great conversation and laughter.

[@maryk768]

Had the pleasure of seeing you in Red Bank NJ. Will be seeing Ms. Madigan for the 2nd time next week at Count Basie as well. What can I say, I have fabulous taste. 😎 Love you both! ☮️❤️🤣

[@seasmoke26]

Thank you both. Loved the interview. Also, loved Kathleen’s special.

[@melaniebrandy4017]

These two are some of my favorite comedians of all time!!! Such salt of the earth...so refreshing!

[@dinacox1971]

OMG, I just watch Bigfoot again and I laugh more the second time than the first!!! I was crying with laughter!!!

[@kristenwhite2701]

What a great guest. You’re both so awesome it creates great chemistry and conversation. Love Kathleen’s imitations of everyone. You need a catch phrase for her to toss out like her pronunciation of Rocky LaPorte’s “good for you” (can’t spell guh fo you) or John Pinette’s Nay nay. You two and Nate Bargatze are my Mount Rushmore of comedians. ❤️ I guess Gabe “Fluffy” and Gaffigan might be the other two heads…but I guess I haven’t seen everyone. Jon Reep is awesome, Steven Wright…so many. Just give me a good special or Podcast and I’m in. Keep at it please.

[@cathyvasko3145]

Kathleen Madigan is the best! Tom Papa is the best interviewer! Love this guy!

[@hualani6785]

Favorite Comedians in the english speaking world! Tom Papa, Lew Black, Kathleen Madigan. You're all great! How cruel to take night working talent, and start energy yelling in the morning!

[@melissarecord7102]

It was great listening to your two chat! You are both my favorite comics.

[@theresamoran3522]

I just saw her in NH last weekend. She's hands down my favorite comedian!

[@dottiec7943]

❤❤😂😂thank you Tom. I knew these videos were gonna rock. I took a good day. Made from bad day. My ac is out August in Florida great day I got this entertainment to finish up. Most of a wonderful interview.

[@michaeledwards1193]

Kathleen has a raw honesty that reminds me of George carlin. I would love to hear her version of "brain droppings"

[@marysalmon2367]

Kathleen, I get your upbringing. Irish catholic from PA, and my mother made the same food, I knew the day of the week by the food, one day was meatloaf,, another lamb chops, Fridays tuna fish, sunday grilled cheese and tomato soup. Never had Chinese or Mexican until I was an adult on my own.

[@denisepeterson4553]

You two are my favorite comics! I have watched your specials over and over again until I have memorized the jokes. Take care of yourself and thanks for hosting Kathleen!

[@mmdcdj]

Love Kathleen Madigan. I've seen her live, she is so hysterically funny. Her new special is awesome 😁

[@TheOldHippiebilly]

Kathleen is delightful. Love that gal!

[@laurablackmore2624]

Tom Papa and Kathleen Madigan are both my favorites! They make me laugh so hard, I need to recover for a few hours because my chest and jaw hurt.

[@davidpedwardsiii5581]

Her parents are hilarious 😆

[@Morningdovecamp]

Love Kathleen! Great interview. Thanks 👍👍

[@adriannenash9852]

Hey Tom, on her latest Pubcast mama termite was showing us and munching on the bread that you baked for her! Looked and sounded delicious; be well from Washington state USA ❤️

[@frodofied]

These two, and Leanne Morgan, are my absolute favorite comedians. Truly insightful and truly funny ... Just fantastic.

[@cjhatcher1]

I think entertainers would miss the applause, the affirmation that you’re funny. We all want to feel loved and feel important. I think that would be hard.

[@mnkid25]

This was gold. Fun stories. Loved Kathleen's special.

[@colleen1219]

I love the fact that she waited till the time is right. She didn’t just push something because she had a timeline.

[@kristenwhite2701]

We love the content you both give us whether old or new. It’s all in your delivery and you’re both spot on. I could listen to her make fun of her parents every day and she never runs out of material with them. I think family provides good material for all comedians.

[@jimballard1895]

Kathleen............ NO one better - she's in a league of her own - my very favorite !!!!!!!!!

[@jadefamousartist5242]

Hi From The Sky 💫

[@amandaforstrom8847]

Great convo - I always enjoy Kathleen!

[@vickymcmahon8121]

Gotta keep the parents around for awhile..😂😂😂

[@pocahon8460]

Tom is grace personified and Kathleen is the bomb

[@frfrmpukn]

God having these two together is like a happy drug!

[@melissaatchley841]

Just a normal person--I'd love to run into u--either/both of you....comedians make our lives a little happier--thank you!!!

[@jamesduncan4874]

Kathleen is the best normal person ever I love her

[@aleciawalter8160]

Great show. Loved it.

[@colorocko1]

Both of you are great comedians! Really enjoyed this podcast, thank you.

[@deannad9105]

Watched her new special and it was great ♥️

[@amherst410]

What a great interview!

[@CaseyHarrisSr]

My fav comedians (still alive) together in this video share? I will re-watch at least 3 times a week. Many thank yous for being in this show. So nice to not see or to not hear any phony at all, Casey in AZ.

[@marylamb01]

Kathleen in my spirit animal!

[@christine3358]

Fantastic show! Love ‘Mama Termite’

[@doshiepowers7716]

You both are so generous and wonderful

[@tammytinhorn-fz6jj]

You are the best Kathleen!

[@micheles.1179]

I love Kathleen Madigan ❤ her specials and pubcast are always so great. I’ve loved her since before the pubcast

[@LQOTW]

I first saw Kathleen in Madison back in the 90s. Been a fan, ever since. I'm a survivor of a big, Polish Catholic family (#7 of 8) and can relate to much of what she shares. I hope Kathleen visits Tom Barnard's new morning show in the Twin Cities.

[@elizabethscott4518]

Love Kathleen and sweet that you are rocking the Canada Goose brand. Respect seems tobe a forgotten virtue..

[@laurachristianson1688]

I so love her midwestern humor we grew up roughly at the same time and similar culture….

[@christineritchey6967]

So fun!!! 😊

[@michelekurlan2580]

Kathleen is such a pretty woman, those beautiful eyes, smarts,humor. Anybody that's a night owl, heavy tour schedule, who can still look good, makeup free, after no sleep,is fit. Makes sense that having to prep the same meals for eons equates to being forced to use the same material for every single show. Stifling. Most peeps would go cray, too. Thanks for this inside look at your lives as comics

[@elizabethcollins8817]

Great interview!

[@frankcoverjr.-jz3ne]

I love empty frames!😂

[@maryrosekent8223]

Saw Kathleen in Reno a year or so ago. I nearly peed myself she was/is hysterical!

[@pennyjanesplace]

I remember the credit card thing. When I was divorced in 1973, I lost all my credit cards because they were in my married name! It was outrageous then and horrifying now that I remember it.

[@aaronknight7129]

Effortlessly two of the best

[@margaretgreen1741]

We love Kathleen!
