About Kira
Kira Soltanovich is a multifaceted talent in the entertainment industry, with a career spanning nearly a decade as a correspondent on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," where she became known for the Phony Photo Booth segment, the show’s longest-running comedy piece without Jay Leno. Her collaboration with Leno continued in the reboot of the "You Bet Your Life" game show, now syndicated on FOX. Soltanovich has also made her mark with stand-up specials on Showtime and Amazon, titled "Here Comes Trouble" and "You Did This To Me," respectively, and has served as the sidekick to Donald Faison on Netflix's game show "Winsanity."

Currently, Kira is focusing on creating and producing her own talk show, "Let’s Get Sweat!," set in a sauna, and preparing to record a new comedy album. This journey from a Soviet emigrant to a celebrated figure in American comedy showcases her remarkable adaptability and creativity in the entertainment world.

Was just about to post this. Good work Sir! 😉

[@fukuuu]

I'm stoked for his new special. He's one of my favorites and such a great guy!

[@stacimiller3684]

Kyle's so humble. Whatta good dude.

Kyle is such a brilliant comic... ALWAYS! Been a fan of Kyle Kinane since about '95-96 when I lived in Chicago... Thanks, Tom!

[@Leviajohnson]

Beards looking good. Always been a big fan of Kyle. Love to see him

[@execthegaming]

I'm really excited for Kyle Kinane's new special. Happy to see him doing guest spots on other comedians' podcasts. Looking forward to seeing more.

[@anthonybowman6594]

He's got another one coming out?! Nice. I really like that he's been dropping the last few on YT with 800lb Gorilla.

[@heise76]

Kyle!!! On Tom Papa!!! Please do this again!

Kyle is my spirit animal.

"Comedians are not philosophers!" Kyle- here is my philosophy on everything😂 I love Kyle, if he keeps making stuff I'll keep showing up! RIP Dirt Nap

[@The-D-Hoyt]

Yay! Interviews w/ comics!

[@tonyhamilton9764]

I am not familiar with Kyle's work but he was thoroughly charming and entertaining. He definitely doesn't look like the words that come out of him. I am off to check him out. Thanks for this great podcast!

[@davidjoyner2524]

Kyle is great! He's definitely in my top 5

[@ryancarr808]

Check out shocks and struts, broken trampoline, I like his old stuff better. Aaaallllllll great specials.

[@carllee9479]

I had the dope opportunity to do Oregon shows with Kyle. He's a cool down to earth guy. Very personal and chill.

[@heatherhellickson9166]

Yay! I hope you got my heartfelt message Tom but I do not have much faith in the internet right now. I have loved Kyle Kenane for years and do not understand how he is not more beloved! Thank you for all that you do to make me smile and feel I am a part of the human race 😂❤!!! He is a natural storyteller who deserves more of whatever he desires ❤🎉!!!

[@Gixsir]

Such a big fan you spelled his name wrong lol 🤦

[@heatherhellickson9166]

@@Gixsir I did not spell his name wrong but the damn phone auto corrects. It embarrasses me frequently. It is very persistent in its opinion and does it on purpose!

[@ryancarr808]

It's because he gives his specials away for free. Not one, but literally every one hour he creates. Free What an amazing person.

[@johncosta495]

I agree. Kyle should be celebrated way more then he probably wants to be ! !

[@ryancarr808]

Well said. He literally doesn't want fame. And I mean cool dude. But he far to fun to keep a secret.

[@slapttastic]

Love Kyle. Hes from my home town of Addison Illinois. His family home is only 1 mile away from my own!

[@christine8823]

Kyle is the only comic who has made me laugh so hard, I peed.

[@lawsonsmith5322]

Kyle love all your specials Tom saw you when you came to Salem I live in Salem if you are close to there and need construction help Kyle, I do remodels on the side and will definitely help finish your bathroom if you need it! And don’t get me started on terrible Oregon drivers!!!

It’s the Washington drivers!!!

Calling Beaverton, OR "the woods" is so hilarious to me. It's a super up-scale city xD

Get ready for more adventures due to mother nature. I keep remembering Louis c k you would be different people by the time you got here. Your sitting in a tube, flying. Great work as usual, guest , hosting, stories. A fan

[@trevorhamilton96]

Kira and Bert Kreischer should have a podcast together.

[@mikejames2551]

Why? So Bert can talk over everything she says?

[@BPH55]

Tom and Kira’s parental care and concern for Young Joey being out in the wild wild world is growing and learning is one of my favorite aspects of this podcast.

[@riserobot21]

I saw this vid of Kyle Kinane and thought, "This seems like a cool interview." What I got instead was half an interview with Kinane and the other half with some random woman interrupting with stories that have little or nothing to do with what he's talking about. Wonderful.

[@BodyByBenSLC]

27:00 Kyle is right. I do property management, people have no idea the blinding amount of work it takes to keep buildings up and running. When you rent ALL that maintenance is already included.

[@debbieskrletts725]

Who is this lady? Tom doesn't need anyone else on this podcast

[@joetorrey6922]

Fantastic episode.

[@lastone5201]

Kyle shows up around 14:45 🥷🥀🖤

[@nancyl6745]

I like Kyle Kinane’s real face. He’s a very funny comedian, but lots of times his face and his facial expressions are a big part of it especially his eyes cause you see the laughter or the craziness or whatever that he’s talking about comes out in his eyes but in a good way. It’s a good face!

[@OdenWoden]

Kyle makes me laugh like no other. Don't know what it is but I love him more than papa😘

[@ericbell1374]

Kyle is pretty awesome

[@stevereber3358]

I was working on a Navy contract, and Admiral Rickover wanted to buy a blimp for every aircraft carrier, to help see over the horizon, and detect trouble miles out, instead of constantly having a Tomcat (actually 2) in midair to do the same thing, which meant two days of refit and maintenance for each plane, but it was sooo uncool, they just delayed the idea until he died to get it to go away

[@dmccarty10]

I love Tom. I have totally lost track of which of his dozen podcasts and radio shows are current. Is this recent?

[@DemocracyJones]

I'm pretty sure it's relatively recent. Kyle is making the rounds promoting his special that isn't dropping till March

[@stacimiller3684]

It says this was uploaded 1 day ago. On most (all?) videos you can see when it was uploaded right after the title. 😊

[@Gixsir]

Tom stinks seem him on a different pod seemed kinda cool man was I wrong dude can’t stop talking about himself stfu and let the guest talk 🤦

[@stevereber3358]

Tom, I love that bit you do about Hot pockets (kidding)

Best part of Kyle is with that beard he looks like a wizened wizard, but you can tell without it he would still be a sweet sweet treat for those pedos😂 Love ya guy, I’m a light weight conservative and love every minute you’ve produced

[@Gixsir]

Huge Kyle fan here all his stand up and podcast appearances but this was absolutely brutal. Everything anyone said Tom had to relate it to himself and Kira, can you stfu already.

[@travissweny6031]

Kira ruined it for me - I don't know who she is or why she's talking all the time

Most home electricians, plumbers, etc., have more work than they know what to do with, and that's why they don't show up. He probably found another job that was closer.

She made this episode insufferable. Would have been way better without her talking through the majority of it.

[@gingerhitzke9185]

✨nice racist✨

[@fraa888grindr6]

I grew up with shared time between L.A. and Portland, with the last 5 years in Arizona. Now I drive truck from Phoenix to Portland to L.A. and back, so know the terrain. This episode was fairly disappointing, in that blue-collar "criminal contractors" were joked about, but none of these comedians (whom I've enjoyed for years) had the comic balls to shoot their jokes at the CRIMINAL POLITICIANS? Los Angeles Metro Area, San Francisco Bay Area, Portland, and Seattle have all been on fire since 2020, and NOBODY could cap on mayors, the governor, or the state legislators? Homelessness and crime on a meteoric rise and the human feces [SF] is unbelievable, but "Oh, those crooked contractors..." Sounds like wealthy people's problems to me. Comedians speaking truth to power is practically dead. It's just Ricky Gervais, Dave Chappell, and Chris Rock, I guess. This makes me miss Norm Macdonald even more.

[@pineappleuncleify]

This is what a comedy podcast is now? People I used think were funny talking about their mundane problems? I see the end of this mass podcast era.

[@justinflickinger7515]

2.6k views is just what this show deserves. Nothing entertaining on this channel
