You Don't Know Schiff – Details, episodes & analysis

Comedians Mark Schiff and Daniel Lobell host their friend Comedian Darren Carter to kick off the first episode of We Think It's Funny. 

The only thing better than a Harland Williams episode is two Harland Williams episodes! We hope you enjoy Part 2 of our conversation with Harland. 

Harland is a talented comedian, actor, author, writer, producer, creator, director, illustrator, podcaster, musician, and t-shirt designer. And that's just what he can fit on his tax return.

Harland is loved for many of his memorable roles in hit movies such as "Dumb and Dumber", "Half Baked", "There's Something About Mary", "Superstar", "Rocketman," "Down Periscope", and "Sorority Boys."

Harland has also been on tons of late night shows, including "Late Night with David Letterman," "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," "Late Night with Conan O'Brian," and "Conan." He's had several comedy specials, and he created and does voices for the Disney series "Puppy Dog Pals."

And he hosts his own hugely successful podcast, "Harland Highway" as well as designs t-shirts.

Are you starting to get the idea? He's an insanely talented guy.

This week we share Part 2 of our fabulous conversation with the great entertainer Hiram Kasten.

Hiram started his stand-up career in 1978, when Jerry Seinfeld passed him on an audition at "The Comic Strip." He went on to be a regular in the New York and New Jersey area, eventually emceeing at Dangerfields for five years, while continuing to work the circuit. Hiram moved west in the late eighties and has mined a healthy career playing parts in Sit-Coms and film roles. He still does well in Vegas, where, in addition to working the major casinos, he also headlined a two-year stint in the David Cassidy original production of "The Rat Pack is Back." He also works frequently as a popular roast comedian. His theatrical training in off-Broadway has paid dividends, but he is most at home interpreting comedy, be it live or on film. Larry David has used him consistently over the years, including Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm.

At long last, we are releasing Part 2 of our discussion with the legendary performer and Frank Sinatra's favorite comedian, Tom Dreesen. Be sure to listen to the end to hear Tom's brilliant advice and philosophies on life!

Tom has been in show business for over 50 years. He's a stand-up comedian, an actor, writer, and motivational speaker. Tom has made over 500 TV appearances including The Tonight Show more than 60 times! Known as 'the man who made Sinatra laugh,' Tom opened for Frank Sinatra for an incredible twelve years. He's a favorite of David Letterman and even guest hosted for him. A legend from the start, Tom began his career with actor Tim Reid (of WKRP fame) when they formed the groundbreaking inter-racial comedy duo Tim & Tom well ahead of their time in the 1970s.

Tom Dreesen is a man filled with infectious gratitude and joy, and you will surely be inspired hearing his heartwarming and powerful stories. This week, Tom talks about his humble childhood, discovering his real father, his determination to overcome a life-threatening illness, and shares wonderful stories about his career in comedy all along the way. And this is only the first of two installations of Mark and Lowell's fascinating and entertaining conversation with Tom.
