Hey everybody,
Â
Just wanted to check in and say we've got some really exciting things in development at Earwolf East.
Â
We're hoping to get "I'm Not Rapaport" off the ground in early 2016. We're still playing around with the concept, but let me just say this: If you've been wondering what "The Colbert Report" would sound like if it was hosted by Michael Rapaport, you're gonna love the show. What do you guys think of the title "The Rapaport Report?"
Â
Yes, the rumors are true. We WILL be partnering with Anthony Cumia and bringing "The Anthony Cumia Show" into the Earwolf East family! Big thanks to Tom Scharpling for handling things with Ant over this difficult weekend.
Â
Finally, and I don't want to say TOO much about this: you Allen Covert fans are in luck. "The Covert Operation" is coming Spring 2016.
Â
Semper Fi,

I interviewed Kim Fowley a few years ago. I sought him out, went to his West Hollywood apartment where he was dying of cancer, and showed up with a microphone. It was a very entertaining chat. Kim often liked to play up the role of the villain. The lecherous big bad wolf record producer. When I went to interview him, he did not disappoint. However, I was struck immediately by his sadness. I saw a man who knew he was dying and was absolutely not at peace.
Â
Â
Â
Nor should he have been.
Â
Â
Â
What you will read here, is not rock and roll lore like "The Mudshark Incident." It is the story of Jackie Fuchs, a teenage girl who Kim Fowley raped. She is very brave for coming forward.

It felt good to ban someone. I may do it again one day.

You people are precious
Â
I sang Armen's praises and someone even agreed with me. Then tha groupthink mobb exploded with faux-outrage. If the Earwolf forums require every post to be tailored to the whims of thin-skinned fanboys they should say so in the user agreement.
Â
Hi, I've never really felt compelled to use moderator status on this board before. I'm not going to ban you outright, but perhaps you should cool off for a little while. How does 2000 days sound?

Â
My name is Jake Fogelnest. I don't have time for this.

When you find out what it is I am sure you will say, "WHO GIVES A SHIT ABOUT THE PODCAST, I AM SO GLAD YOU WERE WORKING ON THAT INSTEAD!!!!!"
Â
By now I am sure you all know about the eight episodes of "Wet Hot American Summer" coming to Netflix. This is what I was writing on before I started on "Difficult People." Does this news in any way make up for the lack of podcast episodes?!

Hello,
Â
The podcast will come back, but it's going to be a little while before it does.
Â
In early 2014 I started working for Funny Or Die as a writer/director. That was an all-consuming job and didn't leave a lot of time for anything else.
Â
I left Funny Or Die in October to go write on a television show that hasn't been announced yet, but an announcement is coming soon. When you find out what it is I am sure you will say, "WHO GIVES A SHIT ABOUT THE PODCAST, I AM SO GLAD YOU WERE WORKING ON THAT INSTEAD!!!!!" **
Â
Yes, I'm currently writing on "Difficult People" with Julie Klausner which is coming to Hulu next year. I am really excited about it! I also directed a music video for King Tuff which you should be seeing in a couple weeks.
Â
After I finish "Difficult People" there's two more things lined up. I wish I could tell you more about these projects, but trust me -- it's real good stuff!
Â
It's all very exciting and I am thrilled to be doing VERY WELL IN SHOW BUSINESS!!! But yes, I miss doing the podcast. I miss having conversations with people.
Â
I wish I could give a timeline on when the show will return. I would say not before Spring of 2015. In the meantime, THE BEST SHOW is back.
Â
I apologize for the disappearing act and delay in the return of the show. Thanks for hanging in there.
Â

** It's now been revealed: WET HOT AMERICAN SUMMER for Netflix.

The podcast will come back. Everything is fine. GREAT actually. I am just super busy with some stuff that I can't talk about yet.
Â
Earwolf is being very cool and I apologize for this little hiatus.
Â
In the meantime, I'm making stuff at Funny Or Die. I directed Traci Lords and Dave Foley in a Ramones tribute sketch this week, so that should let you know that I am doing MORE than okay.
Â
Give me a few more weeks. Thanks for your patience.

"This is their Operation Genoa." I love you, Jake Fogelnest.
I am glad this was heard.

Oh great, I gotta fly out Dogboner? Thanks a lot.

Anyone who doesn't buy Adam's book is a dullard and possible sociopath.

I was expecting this to be more of a 'funny clip show' type of episode, but very glad you went this routei nstead.
i want to have conversations now

The "Stop Denying My Age" kid is my favorite. I wrote him a fan letter. He's the best kid. I want him to get all the Nintendo and Sonic stuff in the world for the rest of his life. His other videos are equally as endearing.

I will promise to deliver on Stack and Dorff!
Â
Wurster has done the show. Scharpling has not done it, but GARY THE SQUIRREL has.

Jeff is a good guy. I will viciously cyberbully anyone who says otherwise.

I am so sad I can't listen to this one. As the son of a mother and father killed by cancer from tobacco products, I can't allow myself to support, even for one episode, something sponsored by tobacco. I love you Jake I see it's a one off deal in your comments above, but even one off is too much for me. Looking forward to listening again next week.
Totally understand. We didn't take their money and I was a real dick reading the ad copy.

Billy is my friend and because of that, I will not force him to do more press right now!!
Â
Also, PLEASE BUY SNUS TOBACCO PRODUCTS!!!!!

Oh, they're already no longer advertising on the show.
Â
BUT NOW THAT I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION...

I've only recently seen Shock Treatment for the first time - I enjoyed it quite a bit. I'm curious about whether Barry Bostwick, Susan Sarandon or Tim Curry were ever supposed to be involved with the film?
Â
Also, can I request a Fogelnest Files episode on the doomed "Ayatollah" Jean Doumanian season of SNL? It's an endlessly fascinating topic to me.
All were offered "Shock Treatment" and all ended up passing.
Â
The Jean Doumanian SNL season is truly as bad as its reputation. Absolutely worthy of a show. Would love to have on someone who was there to discuss!

This show really needs to be on Comedy Central or something like Funny or Die at the least.
Â
I think I want to keep this show a podcast, just because the conversations stay more intimate when it's audio only.
Â
HOWEVER - I just started writing full-time at Funny Or Die, so I will do some stuff there very soon!

No, it's pretty much just eight straight hours of this video.
Â
Â
THIS IS 100% TRUE. Did Julie talk about this on her podcast? We spent an entire day watching this.

Does 'Billy on the Street' have a writer's room? If there is a place where Jake Fogelnest and Julie Klausner sit and write jokes, THAT should be its own show.
Yes, we have a writer's room and it's as great as you think it is!!
