Good morning everybody. Yesterday, Monday, January 11th, I woke up to some awful news that

we had lost the great Jeff Scott, the comedy store original room piano player who had been

there 25 years and who I had worked with nightly for years. It's a giant, giant loss to the

comedy store community. We all love this man and the place will not be the same. That is for sure.

I interviewed Jeff seven and a half years ago and it was one of my favorite interviews because this

man really is the heart and soul and the pulse of the original room. This man sat behind the piano

every night watching people bomb, watching people kill, watching people's dreams come true,

watching people's dreams not come true. He saw it all and he was always festive, smiling. He had a

great laugh. He played the shit out of the piano and you could riff with him. He had some excellent

comedic chops back and forth. Many times we would be chopping it up. So I thought that I would

repost this interview and let you guys enjoy Jeff Scott and his story. He has a great, great

story. He was a winner. He moved to Los Angeles and became an entertainer for 25 years. He

entertained all the customers and all the comedians in that original room. I will miss you, Jeff,

Scott massively. Hey, what's happening? Welcome to another episode of Let There Be Talk. September

9th, it's Monday. Got a great episode here. You know, I always talk about the comedy store in

Hollywood and that's why I work pretty much every night. It's my favorite place on Earth. My guest

today has worked at the comedy store for 18 years. 18 years playing piano. His name's Jeff Scott.

He works in the original room. Five nights a week playing piano, bringing up every

comedian that's been passed and working in the original room for the last 18 years. Which is

amazing, man. I mean, you know, you'll hear a story. It starts out as a little part-time job. He

thinks and boom, he's been there 18 years. Jeff Scott, a hero of mine, a guy plays piano for a living.

That's a musician making money all his life playing piano. You're going to love this episode. They
