He does a fantastic job at realizing the ONE thing all podcasters need to: the audience wants to hear the guest. Chris helps guide the interview as a great host should.

[@LJF_JR]

This guy was and still is so damn funny. I used to go to sleep as a kid and my Pops would wake me back up at 11pm to watch MadTV and we loved Will. I’m surprised we don’t see more of him but maybe that’s a preference of his, I haven’t listened to this yet so I’m not aware if he mentions anything about it here but I’ll give it a listen now just wanted to show some love.

[@NagolKram]

It was great to hear Sasso talk about Joh Candy. Candy is an underrated actor both comedically and dramatically, he is one of my favorite actors and he deserves more respect.

Will sasso is a naturally funny and extremely talented guy! In this current generation of stand-up comedians who pick a random person in the crowd and then go on a long sarcastic rant about their experience, Will Sasso must be cherished!

[@edhitchins5521]

Sasso is so on point. John Candy always played a loveable loser in every role -- every role. From the shower curtain salesman in PTandA, to the guy that bet on fixed horse races in Uncle Buck, to the guy that lived with his mother as a police man in Only the Lonely. Always always was awesome

To me, Will Sasso and Michael Macdonald never missed in their sketches. Any sketch they were in was always the best parts of the show. MadTV on Sat nights was always my favorite in the 00’s. Alot of the sketches with other characters I never found funny but I could always count on those two.

Sasso Is An Acting & Performing Beast. Legendary. He Has Always Given 100% In Every Thing He's Done. The Type Of Performer Who Can Lead & Support.

[@dcpunisher4781]

Will Sasso is an icon of my childhood because I will never forget staying up late on Saturday nights to watch Mad TV. It was a bit of a magical time because I was a kid and of course back then in the 90s everything was still edgy and wasn't all pathetically hyper political correct like it is today, (Wokeness is Brokeness) so seeing controversial comedy late at night when I was a kid felt special or maybe even a bit rebellious. Will Sasso was the best cast member on MAD TV and I absolutely loved him as Curly in The Three Stooges film from 2012. He's my favorite version of Steven Seagal...speaking of which, as Will Sasso lost weight, Steven Seagal gained weight.

[@NexTGeNEXpeRT]

Yes he was absolutely the best thing about MADtv I loved his skits with Alex borstein when she played his sister hilarious. Such an amazing time to be alive

[@RunnerLogan]

[@GtheMVP]

His Kenny Rodgers Jackass skits killed me and the roomates back in the day, loved his Seagal character and so many more. Those days it was all about wrestling, Mad TV, Mr Show etc... The late 90's/early 2000's were an amazing period, prob the golden age of western culture.

If The Simpsons somehow get a live action thing, Will Sasso is my canidate for Homer.

[@OH_MY_DOGGG]

This Simpsons movie that is live action. (Film Theory Time) I think they could never hypothetically find a color pallette. Its just a conundrum. It cannot work. The show is animated. HOWEVER What if the movie had some kind of Springfield origin story that shows the earlier springfieldians before they were yellow? I'm not all the way there on the idea but the concept is to have them all turn different colors at the end.
