KPCS: Dana Gould

[@morgangrace]

No one makes me laugh cry like Dana Gould, great episode, well done.

[@OrchestrationOnline]

One of Dana Gould's best bits is "Sinbad the Sensitive Sailor..." We saw him at a small Northern California comedy club. At the show, a table of clueless drunks started partying and ignoring his act. For the next hour, he made the whole act about them, with ever more brilliant take-downs. Strangely, they were paying such little attention that they didn't even realise it until the very end.

[@omarsoliman2355]

The big finish on this episode is SPECTACULAR!!! Maybe THE hardest I have ever laughed EVER!!!

[@eliotmccann2589]

Dana Gould appears at 19:41

[@eliotmccann2589]

The Larry King bit was merciless! Howlingly funny!

[@BonghitTransplants]

Dana comes at 19:41. and in the 2nd hour, the absolute confidence with which he calls Danny Zuko, Tony Rizzo, is just.

A total gem ! Watched to the end.😂

[@NathanWind99]

The sorely missed KPCS, with the brilliant Dana Gould.

[@scottross9628]

Thanks, Mr. Gould, for the Robert Klein "Jeopardy!" reference. And for Uncle Fucker's Chuckle Hutch. (And for Larry King, which made me weep from laughter.)

[@Sarutobe1103]

2:24:40 is the MASTERPIECE of Dana Gould's Larry King Game submission.

[@jkjerome1]

Great guest. Just a naturally witty guy. He and Rich Hall should make a Jekyll & Hyde movie together.

[@TheTorresProject]

Kevin seems to be slowly turning into his own impression of William Shatner throughout the interview. Great interview Kevin, Dana was great!

4:37 - i said to myself, what the fuck am i listening to, and closed the window, and then came back to write this because this dude single handedly made me close the window.

[@LeoOrientis]

🤣 Best Larry King game ever! Is Kevin Pollak the best show-biz interviewer of all time? The only other who came close was Dick Cavett. And I think I'm now ready to yoink the crown from off of Cavett's head and award (with laurels) to Pollak.

Jesus, this was 12 years ago.

[@ryanp1922]

I knew of Gould but never really heard him in an interview like this. Holy shit he is funny. I can see how he was a Simpsons writer.

[@alpegg75]

I first saw him on The Green Room with Paul Provenza, absolutely hilarious, check it out. I went and checked out his stand up which is good but I didn't like it as much so I just looked for more interviews and guest spots.

[@douglaspatrick868]

Dana has been one of the great largely "unseen" voices in comedy since he was a nineteen or twenty year old kid, just dead funny. Obviously he was a writer on the Simpsons during it's creative heyday but he is also a great stand up, his IFC series Stan against Evil is so fun, and his podcast totally kicks ass (uploads are erratic but it's an awesome listen). I turn people on to his stuff every chance I get!

[@JaySpangler]

Ryan P Dana has his own audio podcast which is one of the best. His albums are also available for streaming. He is my favorite comedian today... and in my top 10 of all time.

[@estebanfunk4218]

@@douglaspatrick868 dana wrote on the simpsons from 2001-2007. that was not the creative heyday of the simpsons.

[@jkjerome1]

1:34:09 Please can somebody explain this freeze tag story cos it went right over my head.

[@tbd-1]

Improv game you can see on Drew Carey's Improvaganza. Two performers start a scene and at any time another improv player can call "freeze", tag one of the actors out and take the scene in a different direction. It has it's moments. Would be a LOT better to see them play this without the audience or cameras there to stifle creativity.

[@JayMcFly204]

Best Larry King Game...EVER!

[@kevinw712]

Speaking of Planet Of The Apes, I believe that Mark Wahlberg has the movie sort of to blame why he didn't get to hop into the Ocean's 11 franchise (and by extension, further Soderbergh world). Because Clooney had just been coming off A Perfect Storm where he'd worked right alongside with Wahlberg and developed something of a bond with him, and had him in mind for the Linus Caldwell part, but Wahlberg had already taken the Apes gig so missed out, and he and Clooney never did another thing since. Actually Noah Wyle has a similar gripe due to E.R., but it's not like he didn't get plenty out of that show anyway. But he and Clooney were still very close in the time after Clooney left the series and he had every intention of including Wyle in the pack, but they couldn't square it with his ER shooting schedule. Never have known this for a fact but my best guess is that Wyle would've played the part of Livingston Dell, the tech/surveillance guy.

[@gargantuaism]

Why does somebody always comment exactly when the guest comes in when anybody can just fast forward and see in fast motion when exactly the guest comes in?

[@djcsws_nsns]

Likely to save everyone from having to fast forward and see in fast motion when exactly the guest comes in. It's a good thing. Also, there is still the option to fast forward and see in fast motion when exactly the guest comes in if that is one's preference.

[@kencoakley3959]

I used to go down Commonwealth Avenue all the time to go to The Paradise to see a Thrash/Hardcore show.

KP mentioned Jeremy Kramer! I loved seeing him in S.F. in the 80s!!!

[@cannae216]

Wow, what was that, five minutes of Larry King? Unbeatable!

[@Zefferwindow]

+cannae216 They did a separate video of just Dana Gould's Larry King Game. Including the Simpsons anecdote about Steven Hawking, It's eight minutes and four seconds long.

[@leedufour]

Thanks!

Our guitarist watches the KPCS on KZbin.

He’s just not that into Twitter.

"A bukake of style over function" (Best line of the episode)

[@davebooshty299]

Every time Dana says that comedians nae over and over I cant help but everytime think instead of Kenny Rogers only.

[@davebooshty299]

I don't know what Middling means except interfering maybe It is ? Obvious I can google ot too.

[@andypitz1]

Middling means performing 2nd on a three comics show. The middle spot

[@BennoTheMook]

The guy doing Who Tweeted invented a new word: 'represembled'. Not bad.

[@Briandnlo4]

It's more useful than "monosyllabic!"

[@VU-WakeUp]

Dana Gould is the funniest man alive. Assuming he is still a man.

[@veritas6335]

You can always skip the first twenty minutes of all of these programs given that the host and his two assistant types just blather about irrelevant BORING nothings for twenty minutes before beginning the show. Good thing they're not scriptwriters. But maybe they need one.

[@GordonMacLeod87]

We get it, you’re a heterosexual. Haha Dana is suspiciously cute
