  • Yeah yeah

    I like Andy, but he needs to quit cutting off his guests and saying “yeah yeah.” It comes off as rude and disrespectful.

  • Call in shows audio issues

    Everyone who calls in sounds like they have a lisp. Love the show but listening to everyone with a lisp gets disorienting.

Gil Ozeri: Cop Stories (The Andy Richter Call-In Show)
Q: Where do you come from?
I come from a family where humor was a coping mechanism and storytelling helped navigate complex dynamics, especially around parenting and authority.
Justin Halpern
Q: First off, what's going to fix show business? What's going to happen with television?
Halpern suggests consolidation and mergers may be the path forward, while also noting the shift in monetization models from traditional ratings to streaming metrics; the conversation emphasizes balancing creative work with the economic realities of the industry.
Brendan Hunt
Q: How did the Ted Lasso concept come together?
It started from a Premier League commercial idea Brendan and Jason developed, which NBC Sports supported; this concept evolved into a show when they pitched a pilot years later.
Eli Roth
Q: At what point did you decide you were all in on horror?
I think I went all in on horror; I was fascinated by horror because you weren't allowed to see it, and I found the process of making it with limited resources thrilling.
