Episode 54 — Mother of Arms

[JulyDiaz 2797]

Jake is back from New York and in the Earwolf studios with the very funny & delightful Cameron Esposito on this week’s edition of THE FOGELNEST FILES! Cameron takes us through her late night television debut experience which is considered the most memorable first time on a late night show for any comedian in recent history, tells us about her 2 podcasts, one of which is an all standup podcast/live show called Put Your Hands Together and the other a action/scifi movie podcast called Wham Bam Pow, and explains why she decided to start doing stand-up as opposed to improv. Jake and Cameron also get into the phenomenon of dogs reacting to the Empire Carpet commercial jingle, take a look at the Beastie Boys on The Joan Rivers Show, and see what Yakov Smirnoff has been up to. As always, check out the full playlist over at youtube.com/TheFogelnestFiles! If you’re listening to this on September 12th, tune in for a LIVE VPN edition of THE FOGELNEST FILES with special guest Jenny Johnson at 9p EST/6p PST over at youtube.com/Earwolf! People of Los Angeles, THE FOGELNEST FILES will be a part of the LA Podcast Festival on October 5th and is a great place to meet girls! Go to http://lapodfest.com for tickets! Lastly, THE FOGELNEST FILES returns to New York on October 10th at the Bell House in Brooklyn and tweens are not welcome as it is a 18+ show!

Awesome shit. Cameron is the best, been admiring her for awhile. Glad to see she is blowing up.

 

Jake, you should do an all Prince show sometime. maybe get Kevin Smith - I know he loves Prince...

I love how Jake Fogelnest is just a giant little kid.

It seems like Cameron's comedy career is (deservedly) going really well, but it's nice to know that if that ever takes a downturn, she has the fallback option of becoming a Paget Brewster sound-alike (starring as Lady Croyle in Exciting Action Time).

 

Really good episode with a nice mix of clips and a not-too-interview-sounding interview.

How does Yakov Smirnoff not have a memoir called "The Comrade Knows Funny"

Hey, that was great! I will ALWAYS cheer for a 2008 American Gladiators reference. I miss that show. And I agree with Ms. Esposito that it is cool when someone says "hey, we've got this girl that can do this cool thing, how do we build a movie around that?" And just all of her stuff about how great Terminator 2 is. Cameron is super cool, and as someone who doesn't watch late night talk shows, I'm glad Jake brought her on so I could hear her for myself.

 

Also, Jon Peters is the giant spider guy.
