I teased him for not letting me giving out his Venmo account to make him whole but I thought it would be funny if anybody wants to send him a couple of bucks as a way to thank him for joining us so often here on the show. if you want to buy Christian a coffee, send it to Christian-finnegan-1 (if it asks for the last four digits of his phone number it’s 1814)

Finnegan is perhaps best known as one of the original panelists on VH1's Best Week Ever and as Chad, the only white roommate in the “Mad Real World” sketch on Comedy Central's Chappelle's Show. Additional television appearances as himself or performing stand up have included “Conan”, “The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson”, "Would You Rather...with Graham Norton", “Good Afternoon America” and multiple times on The Today Show and Countdown with Keith Olbermann, and on History's I Love the 1880s. He hosted TV Land's game show "Game Time". As an actor, Finnegan portrayed the supporting role of "Carl" in the film Eden Court, a ticket agent in "Knight and Day" and several guest roles including a talk show host on "The Good Wife". In October 2006, Finnegan's debut stand up comedy CD titled Two For Flinching was released by Comedy Central Records, with a follow-up national tour of college campuses from January to April 2007. “Au Contraire!” was released by Warner Bros. Records in 2009. His third special "The Fun Part" was filmed at the Wilbur Theatre in Boston on April 4, 2013 and debuted on Netflix on April 15, 2014.

| 0:00.0 | Hello there, stand-up listener and friend. It's Sunday morning and I have this conversation with Christian Finnegan that I had on Friday. I wanted to get it up yesterday and I think I got distracted by a bright light or maybe it was a noise. I'm not sure. Anyway, we had a great conversation. We were live on YouTube. If you want to watch it there, it is where the video |
| 0:22.2 | lives, as well as plenty of other platforms. If you're not subscribed on Substack, please do that now as |
| 0:27.2 | well. Okay, so Christian and I caught up on Friday. I'm not going to do a big long intro. It's |

| 0:36.9 | Christian, I mentioned how he could get paid. I like to. And at the end of the conversation with Christian, |
| 0:43.1 | I mentioned how he could get paid. I like to try to pay the regulars I have in the past, |
