Summary

Pete Holmes is a stand-up comedian, creator and star of HBO’s ‘Crashing’ and host of the podcast ‘You Made It Weird.’ Now, he’s become an author with the release of his new spiritual memoir ‘Comedy Sex God.’ In this episode, we talk about what drove him to write the book, how he found his voice as a comedian and sharing the screen with Artie Lange one last time in what ended up being the ‘Crashing’ series finale. As Pete would say, get into it!
