Mark’s good friend Paul Reiser is on the podcast today!  Mark and Paul came up together as comedians in NYC in the 70’s and have been friends ever since.  Today Paul discusses, among other things, his start in comedy, his passion (and if we may say so, his gift) for playing piano, landing the role in Diner which launched his acting career, his friendship with Yoko Ono and memories of walking to the Dakota with Mark the night John Lennon was killed.

And Paul Reiser is back on stage doing standup!  Be sure to see him live at Hilarities in Cleveland on March 4 and March 5, 2022.  Tickets and all things Paul Reiser are available on his website:
