PRODUCTS & SERVICES Willie’s Remedy Plus (Beverage / THC Tonic) 🔗 Amazon Search, [01:12:19] Sub-topics: Origins of The State at NYU, pushing back against SNL’s format, transition to Reno 911!. Related: Sketch comedy in the 90s. Why it came up: Reviewing a cast photo of the group. The State MTV 14. QUESTIONS & DISCUSSION THREADS Question: “What made you want to class it up and write a musical for Trading Places?” Asked by: Mark Normand [00:21] Answered: Lennon explained a producer who owned Final Draft approached him with the idea 7-8 years ago. Question: “Was it a party at Eddie Murphy’s?” Asked by: Sam Morril [00:57] Answered: Fully answered. It was a quiet work session, heavily guarded by armed security. ⭐ Question: “What’s it like going in character to Comic-Con?” Asked by: Nick Swardson (via text to host) [16:40] Answered: Fully answered. Lennon discussed double-bagging his underwear and dealing with handsy older women. Question: “How do they decide that a movie from 30 years ago will make money on Broadway?” Asked by: Mark Normand [36:55] Answered: Deflected slightly; Lennon jokes about the flying mechanics and homoerotic undertones of Lost Boys instead of the financial mechanics. 15. STORIES, ANECDOTES & CASE STUDIES The Fortress of Eddie Murphy Who told it & Timestamp: Thomas Lennon [03:04] Summary: Lennon and his writing partner arrived at Eddie Murphy’s house to work on a script. They had to pass multiple Jurassic Park-sized gates guarded by men with hands on Glocks, forcing them to literally pitch the movie plot to the security guards to gain entry. Key Characters: Thomas Lennon, Eddie Murphy’s Security. Lesson/Insight: The unbelievable isolation of mega-fame in the 1980s/90s. The Quibi Failure Who told it & Timestamp: Thomas Lennon [01:05:24] Summary: Lennon and Marino pitched a show to Quibi. They were passed on, and Quibi revealed they weren’t trying to beat Netflix, but YouTube, which Lennon immediately recognized as an impossible task given YouTube’s massive market share. Key Characters: Thomas Lennon, Quibi Executives. Lesson/Insight: Misunderstanding market competitors leads to catastrophic failure. Rodman and Weird Al Who told it & Timestamp: Thomas Lennon [46:53] Summary: Lennon hung out with Dennis Rodman, Weird Al Yankovic, and Jared Padalecki. He notes that Rodman at 67 still acts exactly like his 90s persona. Key Characters: Dennis Rodman, Weird Al Yankovic. Lesson/Insight: Some people truly never change. 16. ARGUMENTS, POSITIONS & DEBATES Position: YouTube is impossible to compete against for traditional streaming platforms. Who holds it: Thomas Lennon [01:06:32] Evidence/Reasoning: YouTube accounts for 13% of all US television screening, blowing Netflix out of the water. User-generated content scales infinitely compared to studio-produced content. Speaker’s Stance: Strongly agrees. Position: Modern streaming shows are poorly paced (“Spacing”). Who holds it: Thomas Lennon [01:07:39] Evidence/Reasoning: Shows are stretched out to 10 hours simply to fulfill episode orders, destroying narrative tightness. Speaker’s Stance: Strongly agrees. 17. PROBLEMS, SOLUTIONS & FRAMEWORKS Problem: Getting network attention for a weird comedy idea. Solution: Stop pitching scripts. Go out, film the sketches with your friends, and hand the network a finished tape. (How The State got on MTV). [01:13:55] Problem: Surviving fan conventions in very short shorts. Solution: Wear double underwear to avoid accidental exposure or “dribble” while interacting with overly enthusiastic fans. [19:02] Problem: Protecting mental health against constant Hollywood rejection. Solution: “Diversifying heartbreak.” Write novels, act, write scripts, do standup. Spread the risk across different mediums so one failure doesn’t ruin your year. [01:03:10] 18. TANGENTS & CONNECTIONS The Richard Gere / Dave Thomas Urban Legends Triggered by: Discussing apocryphal rumors about Eddie Murphy in an elevator. Start & Return: [31:01] to [34:51] Key Points: They spiral into talking about pre-internet rumors, gerbils, and looking up Charles Laughton’s Wikipedia page to see if he ate poop sandwiches. Nested Tangents: Looking up Danny Thomas’s real birth name. 19. AFFILIATE CLIPS (Short-Form Video Opportunities) Clip 1: Surviving Comic Con in Booty Shorts Transcript: “If you’re going to a fan convention, be the impulse buy… I wear two sets of underwear… you don’t want a ball hanging…” Timestamp: [17:21] – [19:11] Category: Comedy / Halloween Suggested Affiliate: 🔗 Spirit Halloween Costume Hook: “How Lieutenant Dangle survives Comic-Con…” Earning Potential: High (Costume sales). Clip 2: Pitching to Eddie Murphy’s Armed Guards Transcript: “We get to the gate and the guy has his hand on his Glock… they’re like ‘What are you doing here?’ and we have to pitch the script to the security guard.” Timestamp: [03:04] – [04:10] Category: Hollywood Lore Suggested Affiliate: 🔗 Final Draft Software Hook: “We had to pitch our movie to Eddie Murphy’s armed guards.” Earning Potential: Medium (Software/Book sales).   “Comments on a Comedy Clinic with Thomas Lennon” 1. Overall Comment Summary Viewers are overwhelmingly positive about this episode, with many calling Thomas Lennon one of the best and most underused guests the show has had. The dominant sentiment is that the conversation is fast, joke-dense, and full of great behind‑the‑scenes Hollywood and comedy stories that showcase Lennon’s sharp wit and the hosts’ chemistry. A smaller subset of commenters focus on specific bits (celebrity myths, Matthew Perry stories, Reno 911!, The State) and quote lines they found especially hilarious, reinforcing how memorable the episode is for long‑time comedy fans. Overall tone: highly engaged, enthusiastic, and appreciative of the guest choice. 2.

The conversation ranges from Timothée Chalamet’s bizarre ballet controversy to Doja Cat’s rare moment of social-media self-awareness. When Sean Giambrone (The Goldbergs) arrives, the episode shifts into old-Hollywood nostalgia — George Segal memories, Cary Grant hypnotist rumors, and a deep rec stack of overlooked 70s films. Gaten Matarazzo (Stranger Things, Lego Star Wars) joins next, triggering the episode’s best section: child stardom’s dark side, the “crush since you were 13” phenomenon, social media detox strategies, and why Gen Z is quietly abandoning alcohol. All four close on pet peeves — plane feet, rude customers, cosplay at serious theater — before Mark and Sam plug their touring schedules. Sean and Gaten’s stoner comedy Pizza Movie (Hulu/Disney+) is the connective thread throughout. 03 Top Quotes & Soundbites ” ⭐ Movies are like magazines.

They try a drink called a “spaghette,” described as Miller High Life beer with Campari, jokingly referring to it as the “Aperol Spritz for men”. Greg Fitzsimmons reveals his 35 years of sobriety, leading to a discussion about the Boston comedy scene where young comics with driver’s licenses would transport headliners with DUIs to gigs outside the city. 02:30 – 05:50: Early Days in Comedy & New York Stories / Comedy Origins and the Rat Nightmare The comedians reminisce about the tough early days of their careers in New York and Boston, including the struggle for stage time and recognition.

Greg shares a personal story about his past cocaine use, noting that being broke helped him quit due to the expense. Sam Morril continues his rat nightmare saga, describing his frustration with exterminators and a frightening experience of thinking the rat was in his bed. 09:40 – 13:10: Wild Nights, Cocaine, and Young Comics / Sheen, Spoofs, and the Rat Nightmare Greg discusses his past cocaine use, highlighting its expense as a “brake” on the habit. The conversation transitions to Charlie Sheen’s role in Scary Movie 3 and the comedic style of spoof movies, praising the “dead straight” delivery of actors like Leslie Nielsen and George Kennedy in The Naked Gun. Sam Morril continues his rat problem narrative, detailing his difficulties with exterminators and a harrowing account of a friend who killed a rat by pushing a dresser into it. 13:10 – 20:00: Charlie Sheen, Scary Movie, Spoof Movies / Naked Gun, Comedy Acting & Old School Jokes The comedians delve into spoof movies, discussing the comedic genius of Leslie Nielsen in The Naked Gun and the importance of deadpan delivery. They recount a joke about “manslaughter” from the film. The challenges of writing a new hour of stand-up comedy are discussed, emphasizing the discipline required to start from scratch and avoid old material.

The conversation shifts to the craft of stand-up comedy, particularly the challenges of writing new material and gaining momentum, comparing it to starting a bicycle. They discuss the ephemeral nature of topical jokes (e.g., Olympics material) and the value of “evergreen” jokes, mentioning the New York Post as a “premise machine” for material. 42:10 – 47:50: NYC Boroughs, Dive Bars & Local Culture / NYC’s Controversial Planner and Comedy Craft The hosts and guest discuss Robert Moses, a powerful and controversial urban planner in New York City, referencing the book The Power Broker.
