RHLSTP with Richard Herring: RHLSTP 400 - Janeane Garofalo

#400. The Spark That Lit the Big Bang. RHLSTP has hit an important milestone, but what number exactly and why is Scotland so hot right now? Richard's guest is legendary stand-up and actor, Janeane Garofolo. They talk about the tangential nature of Janeane's comedy, being mistaken for a homeless person, why she doesn't have a podcast (or any social media), working with Gary Shandling and giving it up for Saturday Night Live, getting typecast, regretting early stand-up and why it's hard to work with executives. It's a fascinating chat about a long and varied career that included parts in The Sopranos, The West Wing, Seinfeld, 24, and coming to terms with the changes in fortune and why stand-up remains the most important thing.
