JulyDiaz 2797 Posted October 31, 2016 Paul F. Tompkins welcomes the live audience and unseen listeners back to Spontaneanation, recorded in front of a LIVE audience at the world-famous Largo at The Coronet! This week, Paul’s special returning guest is Kumail Nanjiani of The Meltdown with Jonah and Kumail and HBO’s Silicon Valley! They chat when Kumail realized he didn't fit into society, his unique attempt to project coolness, and three interesting Jackie Coogan facts. Paul is also joined by Jordan Black, Annie Savage, and Jean Villepique to improvise a story set at a State Fair. And as always, Eban (only the best) Schletter scores it all on piano!

Jon Onyx 1226 Posted October 31, 2016 Ok gotta say it... the sound effects board colors feel wrong Red button should be flashblack, because you need to stop and go back into the past and Yellow should be meanwhile, because you need to slow down and see what is happening over there. Really great ep, annie savage is super cute and i love her Share this post Link to post
Darbler Cheesegarbler 1110 Posted November 1, 2016 Kumail looks like a tech billionaire in these pictures! Is this maybe a spoiler for season 4 of Silicon Valley? Great lineup though! Listening now and looking forward to when it starts in a few seconds. Share this post Link to post
KatherineIsOdd 486 Posted November 1, 2016 Those Jackie Coogan facts were insane! I can definitely relate to Kumail's feeling of not belonging when he was the only one not crying. I enjoyed Annie trying to decide, mid-word, whether two characters she'd been playing were the same person. Share this post Link to post
The Spider-Gentleman 114 Posted November 1, 2016 Kumail was a great guest the first time and a great guest the second time. The improv was awesome, as always. So the question asked by the previous guest was asked by Jean Villapeaque right? The previous guest? Who also happened to be an improv guest on this show? Paul always says that they are released in order recorded. Having binge watched all of Orphan Black recently i would LOVE for Tatiana Maslany to be a guest on Spontaneanation and then take part in the improv. If i could pick anyone it would be her.

DanEngler 5249 Posted November 2, 2016 This one was extra silly and I loved it. I hope Kumail's question for the next guest is "Have you heard those crazy facts about Jackie Coogan?" and Paul is forced to tell the Jackie Coogan story again. 1 Share this post Link to post
