Nick Kroll ran Big Mouth for 8 full seasons on Netflix, giving audiences time to deeply fall in love with the animated characters.
Animation goes through a radio play, animatic, and color screening before final cut — giving writers multiple passes to tighten jokes and storylines.
The annual Ted Sarandos brunch brought together Eddie Murphy, David Letterman, Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle, Jon Stewart, and many more in one room.
Sir Ben Kingsley arrived at the Operation Finale table read completely memorized, turning pages with the group but never looking down, while his script was covered with swastikas.
The trial of Adolf Eichmann in Israel was pivotal in providing documented proof of the Holocaust to much of the world.
The first episode of Mating Season features Nick Kroll's raccoon character stuck in a copulatory tie with Sarah Silverman's skunk after a one-night stand.
Nick Kroll speaks conversational Spanish with an Argentine accent after living in Spain and spending extensive time in Latin America.
Mating Season opens with Nick Kroll's raccoon character stuck in a copulatory tie with Sarah Silverman's skunk after a one-night stand — physically unable to separate, facing the classic 'what happens when a one-night stand won't leave?' scenario. The show uses animal relationships to explore love, community, and abundance versus scarcity in ways that land both as huge laughs and genuine emotion.
Sir Ben Kingsley arrived at the Operation Finale table read with a leather-bound script decorated with swastikas — the Buddhist peace symbol, but still — and performed every single Adolf Eichmann line completely from memory. He turned the pages with everyone else but never looked down once. The six actors who kidnap Eichmann in the film sat in stunned silence.
Animation goes through a radio play, then an animatic, then a full color screening — giving writers multiple passes to kill weak jokes before anyone sees the final product. Live-action shoots cross their fingers and hope the edit saves them. That gap in process is exactly why classic animated shows feel so dialed in.
Big Mouth could get extremely dirty and dark, but it only worked because the emotional reality of the characters was always real. Comedy without emotion gets a laugh in the room and disappears. Comedy with emotional truth is what people remember — and what makes them cry.
Frank Caliendo told Bert Kreischer on live radio that he could do an impression of Bert good enough to fool Leanne. Bert called his wife, said hello, handed the phone to Caliendo, who immediately handed it back. Bert finished the call himself, doing an impression of himself. Leanne was confused. Caliendo had already done it.
The annual Ted Sarandos Netflix brunch is the most concentrated gathering of comedy royalty on the planet. Nick Kroll arrived late, nearly climbed a tree to get in the shot, and ended up in the front row sitting next to Chappelle after accidentally walking in alongside Sandler. The photo looks effortless. It absolutely was not.
Tom Segura spent years imagining the perfect moment to tell Eddie Murphy about his late brother Charlie — a dinner conversation about whether Oscar De La Hoya could beat Keith Sweat. When the moment came, Tom delivered the story and Eddie Murphy replied: 'Is that the end of the story?' Five words. Career dagger.
Bert Kreischer has lost 50 pounds, dropped 19% body fat, and hasn't had a drink in four months. His shows are objectively better sober. His daughter can see his ankle bones. He is planning to start drinking again in July anyway. He's at peace with all of this.
Nick Kroll went to polo legend Nacho Figueras' private ranch outside Buenos Aires, rode a horse beautifully for the first time in his life, felt like the coolest person on the planet, and then his face erupted in a full allergic reaction from touching the horse's mane and then his own face. His companion did not stay over.
Bert Kreischer, currently sober for 4 months, delivered a genuinely moving account of what he misses most: the hotel-room ritual of a 12-pack, dimmed lights, and a deep dive into Joy Division or hardcore hip-hop, completely alone. It's a flow state. It's a spiritual experience. It is also, by all accounts, a drinking problem.
Bert Kreischer's gym teacher told him that javelin was banned in Florida because Michael Landon killed a man at a track meet. The story crumbles immediately under fact-checking — Landon went to high school in New Jersey, not Florida — but the group confirms he did throw javelins competitively, and the truth remains elusive. The legend lives.
Tom Segura and Bert Kreischer pitched their movie to Nick Kroll live on air: four FBI agents, a van blown up by ISIS, all four left quadriplegic, hunt down the people responsible. The Quad Squad. Nick immediately signed on — but only if it's all practical effects, Daniel Day-Lewis style. Eddie Murphy is the head.
