Josh Johnson’s Comedy Output Is Making People Mad

Josh is prolific. Anybody mad at that is just jealous

Josh is exceedingly handsome. Full stop.

haha first answer "I dont think there is any competition that way" — Facts dude in a league of his own there. We expect an hour a week from everyone josh set the bar.

This is my second watch of this episode. The conversation is part interview, part personal exposition, and super compelling to me. Josh Johnson’s gets better later by layer.

I think both of them are kind of correct. 9 out of 10 times I see comedy as kind of progression where the comedian makes it, the audience enjoys it, and then both mostly move on to the next thing.

Neil has helped write comedy moments (standup and sketch TV) that have stuck to my brain for decades. I will always think back to a few key moments and forget the rest. Josh has helped to make the moment I'm in funny (standup and Daily Show). His older standup bits are still great, they're just a bit more polished because he told them more than a handful of times. I probably won't go back to either comedian's full catalogue, but the way they discuss/frame something changes the way my brain processes/stores a memory. Just because I listen to a comedy podcast involving the news every week doesn't mean that I think that I don't want to see a new standup special on HBO from a standup I enjoy.

They're different kinds of comedy, and no comedian needs to be jealous, unless they wish they were doing the other style, and tried it but failed.

Neil, 😢 you came off pathetically stale, like you’ve been asleep. Josh will go far, watch him! 😅

Let them be mad. Josh's videos are how I keep up with the news.

Someone needs to explain this era to the future, Josh's back catalog is a great start.

This is sort of random, but related to your discussion of legacy and how you are remembered. The episode Eulogy (S2E6) of Better Things is a fanatastic mediation on why people perform, the work that goes into it, and the indifference you think you may be getting from your loved ones. It's a brilliant series, and I think about this episode a ton.

I never understood how he gets 500k plus views on his channel but when he's a guest on someone else's it's NOTHING! Your saying his 600k plus fans don't follow him to the other channels for support. I've only noticed that with him🤔

hanta virus is a good example of how Josh is a comedy time capsule we’re going to enjoy decades from now, but different than a special
