Summary

We got Anthony DeVito on the podcast! He's taping a Comedy Special this Friday, May 9! Check it out! They explore the pressure comedians face to constantly create content in a world obsessed with social media clips. From open mic sets to $50 ticketed shows, they break down what audiences expect and what comics deliver. Jared and Anthony joke about the rise of "main character energy" and why it often overshadows real comedic craft. They share personal stories about the grind of writing, performing, and staying relevant in a crowded comedy scene. Jared also reflects on his fascination with sports media personalities like Pat McAfee and how major platforms often overlook comedians. With plenty of laughs, smart observations, and a behind-the-scenes look at comedy today, this episode offers a fresh perspective on the industry. Whether you're a comedy fan or an aspiring comic, this episode is packed with insight and entertainment.
