Jon Rudnitsky | Q&A About Failure and Jokes | Mike Birbiglia’s Working It Out
This week, the very funny Jon Rudnitsky joins Mike to answer listener submitted questions. The two of them discuss how long it was before they started earning money from comedy, the complete loss of dignity required to make it as a stand-up, and what it is that keeps them showing up every day. Plus, how Jon caused what he believes to be one of the greatest mistakes in SNL history.

I love the "lady cop" part of Mikes special 😂 it was the best unscripted part ever! "You said that already!!"
