Chris Bonno Returns Again!
Chris Bonno is a musician, comedian, and artist. Not artist in the general sense but in the sense that he paints and draws. One of those literal artists. Not that all his art is literal. Sometimes it’s..you get the picture. Get the picture. Get... Read More
Stephen Tobolowsky
I’ve never been 100% sure what a “Renaissance Man” is, but I’m pretty sure Stephen Tobolowsky is one. He has portrayed hundreds of characters in film, television, and theater. Tobolowsky is also an accomplished playwright, sto... Read More
Dylan Brody Writ Large
Dylan Brody, also known as the Purveyor of Fine Words and Phrases, is one of the greatest comedic storytellers in the business. And I’m not just saying this because he lets me live outside on his neighbor’s couch. There are plenty of abandoned couche... Read More

As regular listeners know, I am a huge fan of Everybody Loves Raymond. Many Raymonders have joined me on the couch. The list includes Mike Royce, Andy Kindler, Fred Stoller, and creator Phil Rosenthal. This week I am very excited to sit down with Emm... Read More
Ryan Singer
The genesis of this week’s show began somewhere around December 2012. My webmaster, Lance Brown, said that I should try to get Ryan Singer on the couch. I had heard Ryan’s name a lot around town, but wasn’t very familiar with his work. So I do what e... Read More
Lance Brown Returns
It’s been quite a while since Lance Brown has been on the show. Which is odd considering how Lance does more behind-the-scenes regarding the couch than anyone other than me or Dylan. Lance, as you may or may not know, is the webmaster of this very si... Read More
Patrick Carlin
Some time ago I was chatting with Kelly Carlin and she mentioned an upcoming interview with her Uncle Pat. I was intrigued just by the name. As a person who has a relative whose name begins with Uncle, I fully understand the meaning behind that. Anyo... Read More
Bobby Slayton
Bobby Slayton is a comedy legend. He’s always been of my wish list of people to do the show and this took on even more urgency when I started The Green Room Project. Then lo and behold, one night on Twitter (yup) I saw Bobby and sent him a mess... Read More
Peter Flaherty

David Steven Cohen
I met David Steven Cohen on Twitter probably about a year ago. I found him to be very smart and funny and cool. Then I started looking into his background. David was head writer and producer for Cartoon Network’s Courage the Cowardly Dog and al... Read More
Andy Milder
In my first post-flu episode actor Andy Milder will join me on the couch. Andy has been on tons of shows and movies, although my largely-stoned audience will probably know him best as Dean Hodes from Weeds. Did I just typecast Andy Milder? I hope not... Read More
Joel West Joins the 3-Timers Club
Joel West is a hilarious comedian based out of Canada. Joel is also, like me, a compulsive Tweeter, although I think he may have slowed his pace a bit lately. Or maybe we’re just on at different times. Anyway, this is Joel’s third visit t... Read More
Uncle Mark Hosts featuring Brian Farrell
Long-time listeners are very familiar with Uncle Mark. Not only did I interview him one-on-one, but he drops by time and again to grope and generally frighten the guests. One guest, actor and comedian Brian Farrell, was not frightened. Not only is Br... Read More
Christopher Michael Ward
Shortly after, or maybe it was just before, the Roseanne interview, I met Christopher Michael Ward on Twitter. I found out the he is a blogger, a writer, a political activist, and a media producer. One night Chris sent me a message asking if I only h... Read More
Phil Rosenthal
Regular listeners know all about my Green Room Project, where I attempt to interview each guest from The Green Room with Paul Provenza. While not an official “project,” I have also had the privilege of speaking with many people who worked... Read More
Eva-Marie Fredric and Friends Part 2
If you’ve been listening for a while, you’ve probably heard the name Eva-Marie Fredric. She has been a guest not once, not twice, but thrice. And this visit will mark her landmark fourth appearance on the couch. Over the months I’ve... Read More
Mike Royce Returns
Mike Royce is an Emmy winning writer and producer. He worked on Everybody Loves Raymond and co-created the tragically killed-before-its-time Men of a Certain Age. And now he is producing the Josh Gad project 1600 Penn on NBC. This week Mike returns t... Read More
Best of the Couch Part One
Recently I got the idea to do a show featuring some of my favorite moments from past shows. It seemed easy enough. I’d listen to all of the back episodes and record the memorable moments. Then I ran into problems. Listening to my own voice beca... Read More
Ed Begley, Jr
Like many other people I’ve been an Ed Begley, Jr. fan since forever, or so I thought. In discussing this interview with friends and family (show research), I got to find out just how much I didn’t know. This is not an unusual thing for m... Read More
