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.
