Summary
Paul F. Tompkins welcomes the live audience and unseen listeners back to Spontaneanation, recorded in front of a LIVE audience at the world-famous Largo at The Coronet! This week, Pauls special returning guest is Kumail Nanjiani of The Meltdown with Jonah and Kumail and HBOs Silicon Valley! They chat when Kumail realized he didn't fit into society, his unique attempt to project coolness, and three interesting Jackie Coogan facts. Paul is also joined by Jordan Black, Annie Savage, and Jean Villepique to improvise a story set at a State Fair. And as always, Eban (only the best) Schletter scores it all on piano!
