This is one of the best interviews I've seen in a long time, he's not talking over her, he's asking her relevant questions, the conversation feels natural, no one is dying laughing at random moments...

[@JP-cr5uq]

Absolutely agree. It was great.

[@jakesgenuineanarchy5955]

Agreed also, awesome name dude.

[@prawtism]

they had to edit out the laughter, I think :D

[@ttthecat]

She is brutally funny, it's such a natural gift that she has honed like a knife!

There is a series she's in called "Another period" it's about 2 absolutely delightfully awful rich fame seeking sisters in the early 1900s. It's hilarious

This Jeselnik A.I. is pretty convincing! also: I'm also an Apatheist.

[@TheJeremyKentBGross]

Not me. I used to love arguing about it as an angry atheist. But now I've settled into what I thought under that all along, which is that religion is allegorical; which is great because not only is it really interesting, but it also triggers both the very religious literalists and the angry atheists who think it's all only 300% garbage. So basically I get to fight with everyone. Even the apatheists who are like "shut up already!" 😆 No but seriously, the mythology and evolutionary history of the memeplexes is pretty interesting.

Natasha: says something serious about how Judaism encourages thought and debate. Anthony's response: "You like rabbi fights."

[@ericag5346]

Apathetic agnostic is when you don't know and you don't care if there is a God. That's a good way to not need to argue with someone....

[@imfrcd]

I don't care.

[@jakeenan]

That's a good one. Or maybe: Agnostic Atheist. You do not believe god exists but you don't know if he exists because you're not a f******* wizard......and you don't care about the dumb-ass question either. Haha

[@ericag5346]

@@jakeenan well I do care and believe in God.

[@ericag5346]

But the way it's not "a good one" it's an education with words... Apathetic agnostic is when you describe yourself as not knowing but also not caring...

@@DianaLopezDlo I think it's just kind of a typical Midwestern city...might be big by Illinois standards, but that's not much to write about (Chicago and its metro area makes up the majority of the population of the state...very dominant).

[@anti-depressant]

This seems futile to even post this, but Anthony Jeselnik, if you have any sway with Comedy Central to get them to add this show to Hulu, I'd actually be able to watch it. Mostly it's the older shows that are still on there, and I'm pissed The Daily Show and its ilk no longer get added to Hulu considering that was the primary reason I signed up, but they still put new South Park and Drunk History episodes up, so...just bring it up to them, if you would. I *thought* one could just go to the Comedy Central website and watch anything for free with ads, but the last time I visited they wanted me to login through a cable provider, and we have only the most basic cable included with our internet, no Comedy Central. Keep up the good work, as always!

[@susans654]

You can get The Daily Show's most current episodes (last five or so days) on Comedy Central without the bullshit cable sign up. But you need to watch them quickly because they are then "locked" (unviewable) unless you have a cable login. Same goes for David Spade's new show.
