About this episode

Comedian Brian Posehn (Deadpool, Mr. Show, The Sarah Silverman Program) stops by to talk with writers Mike Sweeney and Jessie Gaskell about blowing his audition to be a writer at Conan, going straight to the couch as a guest on Conan, helping to revive the Deadpool comic book, how getting his first acting job was suprisingly easy, why he wouldn’t want to work on any other sketch show after his amazing experience on Mr. Show, and his new comedy music album Grandpa Metal.
