I've never been able to stomach Johnathan Winters but I'm curious about the interview. I'll try much luck and give it a shot. It can't be any worse than Maron's interview with Ben Stiller, a real low point for a guy who's turning into a pretty damn good interviewer...

This week's Jonathan Winters interview is a must if you have any affection for the man at all.

That one was pretty fascinating.  His precision was incredible.  He's absolutely one of the masters of the form.

Maron's interview with Sally Wade about George Carlin's last years was a moving show. Sounds like he was a really sweet guy in his personal life (in marked contrast to his nasty onstage persona).

... but all that aside, I kinda wish they had devoted the entire episode to something that was discussed all too briefly: In the 1970s, young sitcom writer Sally Wade received an assignment to hang out with the Doobie Brothers so she could get their "vibe", prior to building a "What's Happening" episode around them.

I started out not really enjoying the Sally Wade interview, but I was wiping away tears by the end. It's crazy to think how different he was offstage.

In the Am I Right interview with Maron, he mentions that he recently interview Garry Shandling. I can't wait to hear that.

Although it seem unlikely to ever happen, I'd love to hear Maron interview Albert Brooks.
I'll probably go into the wee hours.

When Jesse first sent me the Maron interview (which I wasn't able to sit in on), I immediately stopped listening to call him to see if Maron had mentioned anything more about that Shandling interview off mic. I CAN NOT WAIT for that one.

If you have access to the full WTF archives, I highly recommend the Jim Gaffigan interview from early on (I think it's one of the first 10 or 20 episodes). Maron's still getting his sealegs as an interviewer and it's much shorter than the interviews he does now, but it's a really great conversation. Gaffigan is really great at talking about comedy.

I'd love to here him talk to Stephen Fry. Not only do I think it would be entertaining to hear those two personalities go up against each other because they seem so different but I think they'd actually have tons to talk about. Like his battles with bi polar disorder (including the infamous Belgium incident), growing up Jewish in England, his struggles with his sexuality.

The tentacles of the Jesse Thorpe empire are beginning to get a bit too ... tentacly, for my taste.

. Gaffigan is really great at talking about comedy.

I don't remember anything specific, but I really enjoyed his episode of one of the early Nerdist podcasts.
