The Rushfield Lunch: Tom Segura & Jeremy Konner on the State of ComedyI sat down with the 'Bad Thoughts' creator and exec producer to talk pushing boundaries and social media
This week, on The Rushfield Lunch, I was joined by Tom Segura and Jeremy Konner, the mad geniuses behind Netflix’s totally inappropriate sketch comedy show, Bad Thoughts. Watch above and relive our wide-ranging conversation about how a show this boundary-pushing comes together and the state of comedy in general — and R-rated comedy in particular. We also talked about being able to shock audiences without resorting to cruelty, and whether social media should be un-invented. It was a great, fascinating conversation. Give a listen and join us next week for another lunch extravaganza with yet another brilliant guest! My earlier episodes have featured everyone from Lena Dunham and Amazon Studios founder Roy Price to Substack cofounder Hamish McKenzie and longtime film producer and exec Ted Hope. I’ve also lunched with cultural commentators Ben Dreyfuss and Sonny Bunch, and the authors Matthew Specktor, Meghan Daum and Olga Khazan. All episodes are archived on our YouTube page. Thank you to Pablo B. Markin, Janet L Stevens and many others for tuning into my live video! Join me for my next live video in the app. Can’t afford The Ankler right now?
