Two first time guests join us on this episode of Comedy Bang Bang: The Podcast. The co-host is none other than Mr. Show alumni Brian Posehn. The other, noted food critic Merrill Shindler, sits down to talk about some of his favorite places to eat around Los Angeles. Both of these guys are such long-time friends of Scott’s that they are actually able to go back in time to one of the darker days of Scott’s life.

Insanely Talented? Check. Heartbreakingly Beautiful? Check. On our podcast? CHECK!! We are so excited to have had the one and only MELANIE LYNSKEY from ohhh, I don’t know… Heavenly Creatures, Up In The Air, Away We Go, Two And A Half Men, and The Informant, (to name a few) spend an evening with us. US!! Because she is awesome. And thusly, so are we 🙂  Enjoy.*** NOTE: There are many FUCKING AMAZING sound effects in this podcast that didn’t properly bounce – and therefore aren’t audible. We apologize. Because you are truly missing out. They were hilarious.

While Scott always gets interesting guests on the show, Comedy Bang Bang gets its first television mega-star in the Cake Boss himself, Buddy Valastro. He, along with David Higgins, wait patiently for Dave Foley to show up (spoiler alert: he doesn’t) by talking about David’s career, how Buddy got into cakes, and playing the first ever game of Fortunately, Unfortunately.

He said he wanted this podcast to be “special” and he did not disappoint!! RAPHAEL BOB-WAKSBERG, Son ofthe popular Ellen and David, and member of the comedy group Olde English, came a graced us with his wonderfullness!!! Enjoy.*After listening, please comment below to vote on our new nickname for you, our listeners!

Kevin interviews actor Martin Mull.

I know, I know, you guys are tired of these drop-in’s from Scott’s ex-step-father, but for whatever reason Bob Ducca won’t stay away. But please don’t ignore the episode just because of that! Jason Mantzoukas talks about working with Scott on the 2009 MTV Movie Awards, and Natasha Leggero gives her opinion about how women can get what they want. Plus, there’s jizz talk!

With over a MILLION hits on his youtube vid, “Driving On Salvia,” ERIK HOFFSTAD might be the face of salvia, but we mostly like him because he’s an all around fantastic guy. And, for the record, he’s totally against human caterpillars. Enjoy.

Kevin sits down with actor/comedian Greg Proops!

Kevin Pollak interviews The Man in Black from Lost himself, Titus Welliver.

Hey, so Marc Maron is super good at podcasting, right? Let’s have him on Comedy Bang Bang: The Podcast to talk about his ex-wife and his depression and caffeine and nicotine addictions and all of those other things he talks about so hilariously. Plus, Adam McKay’s favorite sketch group “The Birthday Boys” makes a big impression on the Comedy Bang Bang audience. Listen to just what happened that created such a reaction.

We had so much fun with UCB’s Charlie Sanders that we had to extend the podcast to 43 minutes! If there are any unfortunate souls out there don’t know of him and his unique brand of dry humor yet, you certainly will soon. Or God help us. Check it.

Kevin interviews comedians, Jason and Randy Sklar.

“Weird Al” Yankovic’s first appearance on the show was mostly informative. His next visit, mostly humorous. So when Al makes his third appearance, he combines the two and becomes perhaps the most beloved Comedy Bang Bang: The Podcast guest. Hear how his career has differed from that of the super-filthy and super-sexy group “Garfunkel & Oates” who may or may not know about oral sex (according to Riki’s mom). Plus, maybe the greatest plugs, and unexpected bathroom break, in Comedy Bang Bang history!

She’s a writer for The Onion, Important Things With Demetri Martin, and now, Community!!It’s no wonder we totally have a girl crush on MEGAN GANZ! Enjoy.

Kevin chats with actress Justine Bateman.

Whether you know him from the Groundlings, from Reno 911, or just from being hands down one of the funniest guys in comedy, you’re about to get to know him a little bit better – DREW DROEGE, our favoritest LA comedy guy! Enjoy.

Kevin interviews talented Actress and Comedienne, Cheri Oteri!

The year-end celebration continues with original UCB member Rich Fulcher. Bob Ducca stops by to let us know about some of the reasons he hasn’t stopped by lately, and Bobby Bottleservice and El Chupacabra join the fiesta! Plus, don’t miss Jerry Minor doing weird, indescribable, but hilarious things.

Scott starts his year-end celebration off with a bang. And by a bang, I mean a story about the meeting (or should I say meetings) of the great Tig Notaro and the even greater Taylor Dayne. Some of our friends (or should I say Paul F. Tompkins’ friends) call in from the Goodyear blimp (or should I say I say the good-one blimp). You’ll never believe what Jesse Ventura and Huell Howser are up to!

To say that ARTEMIS PEBDANI from “It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia” is a joy to be around  is a gross understatement. Lucky for you, we are supplying 30 minutes of Ms. Pebdani for your listening pleasure! Enjoy.

Comedy Bang Bang was a huge event in Los Angeles for years before it became a podcast. Well, this week Scott granted a nation-wide audience to another L.A. comedy hit, The Thrilling Adventure Hour. Enjoy an appearance from Colonel Tick-Tock, and a visit from his modern “urban” counterpart Michael Crappaport. Guest host Paul Gilmartin does a great job of keepin’ up the funny and making everyone wish Dinner and a Movie was less of the movie, more of the hosts.

There’s perhaps no one Elizabeth respects more in the comedy world than the Artistic Director of the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre, ANTHONY KING. He’s smart, he’s funny, and he has a damn good argument in support of bringing the word “retard” back! Enjoy.

Kevin chats with James Roday and Maggie Lawson.

Adam Scott is a phenomenal comedic actor who proves in this episode that he’s hilarious in any medium. He somehow manages to be funny even with the tragedy that is relationship experts James and Cathy McDowell and their neglected son Damian Vast. After they’ve sufficiently bummed everyone out with their upsetting views on parenting, Chris Fairbanks comes in to close us out with some of the trademark (admin note: don’t quote me on that) wit and quickness that makes him such a great stand-up comic.

She’s won awards for her storytelling and is a staple of the New York comedy scene,but most importantly, MARGOT LEITMAN has convinced Elizabeth to do it doggy style! Enjoy.

The Sklars are here! The Sklar Brothers make their second appearance on the show, and do the whole twin-thing. Not to disrespect the Sklars in any fashion, but they are classless jerks compared to our other guest, J. Montgomery Scott. I know what you’re thinking: “How in the world did Comedy Bang Bang get world renowned actor and voice over artist J. Montgomery Scott?” Well, all that matters is that he’s here, and he and The Sklars get to enjoy the premiere of Weirder Scott’s new song Halo.

We decided to celebrate our 10th podcast with double the funny – Comedy writers/performers Dan Gregor of the Chubby Skinny Kids and Dc Pierson of Derrick comedy came over and rocked our lamb skins! Enjoy.

Kevin chats with Henry Winkler.
