Episode 16 - Wyatt Cenac (510 Photos)

Episode 16

Monday, September 21, 2026 • Duration 01:38:23

Wyatt Cenac enters the archives in 2008 at Comix shortly after moving to NYC for The Daily Show. He shows up in photos at Whiplash, Bowery Electric, and Hannibal's Comedy in a Garage at Matchless, a precursor to the much loved Knitting Factory show. While we didn't get to Wyatt's show, Night Train, in this ep, you can see the ones taped for Seeso here. We'll get to that era in the next episode. You can also celebrate Night Train at the upcoming Hot Butter Train show at The Bell House. It's a kick-off for Marianne Ways' Kickstarter!

Episode 15 - Jo Firestone (495 Photos)

Episode 15

Monday, September 14, 2026 • Duration 01:06:36

Jo Firestone enters the archives on August 24, 2014 at Shea Stadium (not that one, the artsy one in Bushwick.) at the The Macaulay Culkin Show. Once Jo enters the archives, we see her... A LOT! She's on Whiplash, Big Terrific, 50 First Jokes all in a row. The archives have a least 2 instances of Jo working leading the audience in "I Have Been There". Jo was SO busy in 2014 and 2015 that... we didn't even make it to 2016 in this episode. A perfect excuse to have her back for another episode.

Episode 14 - Brooks Wheelan (95 Episodes)

Episode 14

Monday, September 7, 2026 • Duration 36:00

Not every dream job is YOUR dream job. Brooks enters the archives in 2014, when he's at a coveted job in comedy. He didn't love it. We get into it in this episode. Brooks did stand up all around NYC while he was here. Most of his photos in the archives are from his coupla years as a New Yorker. Episode contains Whiplash, Night Train, and SXSW lore. Brooks has long since left NYC, filmed a comedy special in Alaska, joined a Spider League, and in general, been happy. You can see him monthly at The Beacon Theater in New York.

Episode 13 - Ruby Karp (95 Photos)

Episode 13

Monday, August 31, 2026 • Duration 59:19

Ruby enters the archives getting headshots on a winter morning. We talked about crushes and pretty much nothing else. Ruby had an early start... she did ASSSSCAT at age 4!

Episode 12 - Shane Torres (199 Photos)

Episode 12

Monday, August 24, 2026 • Duration 57:09

Shane Torres enters the archives on June 11, 2025 on CSL at Kabin. The photos are terrible. (We get to that!) This episode goes over Shane’s move from Portland to NYC, getting rock-ig-nized, and getting better at the business side of things. We got all the way up to the current-ish era of Good God shows at The Sultan Room. We got through box one of photos, that cover 2015 to just a smidge into the pandemic. And will cover modern-ish times on Shane's next ep!

Episode 11 - Josh Gondelman (293 Photos)

Episode 11

Monday, August 17, 2026 • Duration 01:28:17

Josh Gondelman enters the archives on stage performing as Dave Attell at Schtick or Treat on November 1, 2011 at Bowery Poetry Club. His first photo as himself is a few weeks later at Sidewalk Café for his show Afterlife with co-hosts Erin Judge, Emily Heller, and George Gordon. Josh appears in the archives fresh off a move from Boston. We hear advice he was given, some great, some stale, about when to make the NYC leap. We talk day jobs, small writing jobs, and photo shoots at my apartment when no one could afford studio time. We get through box one of his archives and end at 50 First Jokes in 2015 with Josh firmly in place in the stand up scene and a writing job. His future wife, Maris, has entered the archives as well. More on this in future archive digging, but for now, you can enjoy a recent special of Josh's here.

Episode 10 - Andrea Allan (167 Photos)

Episode 10

Monday, August 10, 2026 • Duration 51:09

Andrea Allan enters the archives on April 16, 2014 at The Village Underground in New York. We sort through photos from The Creek, my studio in Brooklyn, a Keith and the Girl podcast marathon. But maybe we're never gonna top this one photo from 2016 at The Village Underground. And that's... ok. I also go OFF on a tangent about how the algorithm tricked people into thinking I moved outta the city during the panini, but actually, I was here and working on the archives... the very admin drudgery that would make this podcast possible. But I'm not hurt or annoyed by the misunderstanding anymore, as you can see by my tangent.

Episode 9 - Adam Conover (61 Photos)

Episode 9

Monday, August 3, 2026 • Duration 01:00:19

Adam enters the archives on January 6, 2011 performing on Lasers in the Jungle at Luca Lounge. You know Adam from his show on TruTV and his podcast "Factually". I found his insights during the strikes helpful and he has a clear eyed view of comedy at the moment. It's been fun to see the different ways people have entered the archives. Some are in the background, some have been comedians for a decade before I get there, and some are just starting out. Adam enters early in his stand up career on a night that's a smidge of an art opening; when we installed a backdrop I made for the show.

Episode 8 - Emmy Blotnick (223 Photos)

Episode 8

Monday, July 27, 2026 • Duration 01:08:11

Emmy Blotnick enters the archives on December 1, 2011 outside the long since closed Luca Lounge. We sorted through about half her photos and didn't get to more recent days, but we did get to the "Party Nights" cover. And we skipped ahead to chat about her current special, "What's Her Secret". Emmy will be back for an episode two... our chat was pretty fast-paced but we still only got through one box of photos! In the meantime, follow her on Instagram... as you'll see in the ep, she is on there now... as we all... apparently... have to be... forever.
