Man great episode Cleveland boy here let me tell you the tooth to person ratio is lacking in this piece

[@BlammoGer]

„Dad poem as Morgan Freeman“ Great choice of words 😉

[@joelk7923]

This is the absolute greatest episode yet, so many laughs. Totally made my week.

[@bretthoulihan8028]

Thanks Ryan

[@og_sk8cho]

Thank you for doing what you do!

[@OpentheLightAUA92]

Josh is so underrated. He and Craig Ferguson had such amazing banter and quick wit.

[@pr0n3]

I miss them as a duo so much. CBS screwed him over big time and missed a jackpot when they didn't make him the late show host.

I swear to god, the best podcast ever. I pissed myself from the jump. Sickler, your laugh is what we will all hear at the pearly gates one day. The sound of angels busting each other's balls.

JRT as Geoff Peterson on the Late Late show with Craig Ferguson was a true classic comedy duo. He was a pleasure watching those 2 create comedy gold on a nightly basis and off the cuff!

[@weezypeezy1725]

This podcast almost made me cry. Heart breaking

[@blacksabbath4252]

It made me cry and cry w laughter, this is one of the best podcasts I've ever watched

[@thegoatchild3545]

I was about to comment the same thing, man. This guy's life story... And the ending of the Late Late Show.....WTF??!

[@zachoeryedwards]

When Josh said his dad moved to San Fran I think we all knew where that story was going to go 😂

[@commonlogic3646]

Best talk show sidekick that ever existed.

[@miahdpapa9304]

I liked, then took it back. Andy Richter. Had a soft spot for that guy since I was real little with Cabin Boy.

[@commonlogic3646]

@@miahdpapa9304 what? Come on you can't hate him but Geoff Peterson was many times funnier

[@greenwitch9836]

This is the best interview of all time. Heartbreaking yet uplifting story of a boy / man who understands his Dad's need for his own tribe. You brought me to tears JRT, and your incredible talent is only eclipsed by your beautiful personality and background. Bless you!

[@A_Wild_Dyzzy]

Man it really hurt to hear his story about James Cordon coming in to renovate the office. That dude can never live up to the legend of the Late Late Show. Craig and Josh together made something that could never be replicated in tv history.

[@Chakirisan]

Geoff the robot was the best thing on late night TV ever, love Josh. 💪❤️

[@pr3vv]

This needs 15 more episodes. At least.

[@BigTruck27]

Loved this dude since he was Geoff Peterson

[@jlzapata11]

This guy is really talented. I use to watch the late late show and always laugh my ass off because they would always go off script and improvise. Just classic.

[@Jemppu]

"Off script" like there was one :D

[@Smiley-Coyote]

This episode made me so happy, Josh is cool as hell, what a talent! Loved this guy ever since I first learned who did the voice of Geoff Peterson on the late late show. One of the best HoneyDews by far!

[@marlboroman6370]

Is that morgan Freeman voicing the intro? Lololol 😂😂

[@---bs8dp]

It's Josh he got that voice son

[@dianau7612]

They got me 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I had to rewind cuz I was like there is no way!

Cameo?

That Morgan Freeman voice was RIDICULOUS.

[@markholloway7036]

One of probably only 2 or 3 podcasts I've ever gone back and listened to a second time. In a decade of listening to podcasts. Josh is special and this kills me.

[@sirk425]

I miss The Late Late Show with Josh and Craig. Late Night TV died FOREVER the night that show went off the air😢 BALLS!🤖

[@OpentheLightAUA92]

I cried my eyes out the last episode. The show was on during a very rough time in my life, but i will always remember Craig and Josh for making me laugh before going to bed.

[@matthewhebbert9712]

I watched a little but of Fallon after GP and the Fergs went off air, but quickly gave up. Haven't watched "late night" shows at all since. They're just banal and bad now.

[@miguelfields87]

This guys story would make a great movie. The laughs the emotions the subjects the family meeting for the first time.

[@blacksabbath4252]

It sounds like a movie script

[@bmunsky]

It seems like most human beings lives are a story with ups, downs, trials, and tribulations.Josh is an expert at telling his story 🤟🏽.

[@Ervinabrahamian]

I think it's time to bring Will Sasso on the dew

[@Irv123]

That would be great! Been awhile since I've seen Will on a pod.

[@EchoJerichoX]

That would be a DREAM podcast! Sadly, I hear that Will is pretty Covid-worried, so he might not come around for a pod like this for a while yet. Source: Bryan Callen on one of the episodes of TFATK he was recently on or his new Big & Hungry pod with Steve Byrne. Still, I really miss Sasso, he is my favorite podcast guest across all podcasts, up there with Joey Diaz.

Glad Sickler has JRT on. I wish he was on more podcasts, he's so funny & talented. Praise to Apostle BG.

[@toddbenson2406]

My job allows me the ability to listen to a lot of pods. 8-10 hrs a day usually. And this particular pod may have been my favorite ever. Hits every cord IMO. Thanks guys!

[@cyborgzulu2011]

So glad to hear his take on the ending of the late late show. It was so fucking awkward. Even when they introduced him. He didn't deserve to be treated like that. Glad to hear he is hanging in there and doing his best.

[@travismiller7596]

Being adopted and knowing all my life, I finally spoke to my biological mother(Edith) at age 24. I joined the Marine Corps, was in Japan and I felt something wrong so I called my mom (Dee) in the states she had told me that Edith just died. I relate to you Josh. I also ended meeting my entire biological family about 7 years ago at the same time and was so overwhelmed I broke my soul. I haven’t been right since. Best of luck to you. Much love from Pennsylvania

The best interview with Josh that I have ever watched. A true, in-depth examination of his life, wonderful and emotional. The comedy is astounding. Especially his voice as Morgan freeman.

[@axlepacroz]

More Josh Robert Thompson please! His impressions are hilarious.

[@rolandogialdino9064]

What a great life story he has. Im so glad he got to share it in public. It's from all these dark places and tough experiences that you get to reinvent yourself over and over again. Also, it's a shame how he left the Late late show. It's no way to treat someone who has done so much for the show. If Craig and Josh hadn't been so good together for so many years there wouldn't have been any James Corden show to begin with.

[@49hamburger]

"In my Members Only jacket" Made me laugh so hard it gave me hiccups XD

[@Yahuah777]

One of the best podcasts I’ve heard. From laughter to tears and back again. I’m glad you guys did this.

[@MattTheScholar]

I think the reason why so many of JRT's fans thought he had been away for many years, is exactly the same why JRT himself thought that big things would happen after The Late Late Show. He had done such an amazing job as Geoff, that it seemed obvious that it could have been a stepping stone for even more high profile gigs. So, even though he has done a lot of cool things after the show, I guess fans just expected Hollywood to recognize him more, because he sure has the talent. He would be a perfect addition to SNL.

[@bobbowie9350]

Jrt has talent but he is a complete jerk.

[@portlandsamber]

This is the only podcast that I'll click on when I have no clue who the guest is. I'm never disappointed.

Man! What a great talk! J.R.T. is a huge talented artist, with an incredible history, and deserves all the best in the world. I'm from Brazil, and knew The Late Late Show on internet. Geoff is the best sidekick of all times, thanks to the talent of J.R.T. I would love to see a show with those voices and humor on KZbin or any other plataform. Best luck to all of you.

Josh is the best! Please have him on again, and promote the hell out of him!

[@amykiernan1595]

So glad I saw this video and got to know Josh so multi-talented and story about his dad was a tearjerker. Loved The Late Late Show with Ferguson and Jeffrey robot the chemistry they had with one another was hilarious and the Improv as well. 👍

[@DrCosmos24687]

Had never heard of Josh before today, and he's so awesome. Great episode!

[@nz540im3]

I started with this today listening on iTunes and nearly shit my pants during the intro haha. Dude is unreal. I decided to wait till I got home to watch the rest about 10 mins in. It took away a bit of the magic of the voice acting. But this dude is awesome, I’m 45 minutes in. What a hell of a fucking story. Also awesome to see he’s a regular voice actor on some of my fav cartoons. I’m enjoying this man.

[@greasemonkey060]

No idea why this older episode popped up, but it’s definitely the comic relief I needed to get through this week. Or at least the day. Much appreciated 🙏🏼
