CBS is looking for a replacement for Craig Ferguson, and they should look no further. Paul F. Tompkins is the right person for the job. These speakeasy interviews are so damned good, and I could definitely see this very format adopted to an hour-long show. Speakeasy hits that sweet spot between Letterman and Charlie Rose - between frivolous 7minute product placement interviews, and more meaningful discussions about more meaningful topics. Funny, smart, insightful - PFT brings it every time. Fantastic.
I hope the best for you. I'm still there but it's more fun now. I've bombed so hard now that when it happens I relish it. Just knowing people intensely hate me gives me such weird joy! My family and childhood friends saw me have a panic attack on stage and run off. Now it's just a funny story to tell :) I have no real dreams of a career but the rush I get from it is amazing.
i fucking loved this episode. theres something uninhibited about maron's style of conversation that opens up dialogue to so much introspection and wisdom
Just when I thought I'd seen all the Maron stuff on youtube, this gem pops up. Never heard of this show..Tompkins is great and they conversate really well together. #boomerlives
Well shot, well edited, great theme and style, AND MOST OF ALL; Paul F Tompkins, the guy is a ridiculously good host. He's so level with everyone and brings out their natural side.
I've gone to a Marc Maron show before, and what I liked about it was you really got a sense that he didnt know where the hell he was going to go with his act. But had the balls to go up there and figure it out as he went along. Fun to see it all come together.
What Paul says at 9:12 is sooo on point! Don't have expectations on what you think your "success" is supposed to be or look like! Just keep following your passion and do what excites you. Don't place limits on what the universe can bring you! You might end up creating a podcast from scratch and interview the president!
@7:50 was hoping that MM would address the serious question: Why do many comics see the audience as 'the enemy'? Didn't detect a clear answer. Just 3 examples- Lenny Bruce, R. Belzer, and HIcks? Patrice O'neal? It is an interesting question. Thought that MM might address it because he can agitate an audience, too.
Caffeine wakes me up, but it also makes me a crazy angsty bitch. Sounds like Marc has the same problem. I do hot chocolate instead now. Paul F. Tompkins is ALL voice, he's like a persona while also being super open. It's kind of amazing.
My two favorite interviewers of all time. I remember watching this when it came out and it introduced me to PFT, Comedy Bang Bang, just a whole world of the funniest people alive.
i think they shoot a bunch of them over a couple of weeks and then release them slowly and not necessarily in the order in which they were shot (which is why paul's moustache disappeared briefly)
Marc Maron's worth listening to (and the reason for his podcast success) because he's been in the business enough years and has a superb memory for the club owners, agents, and managers that make up the business supporting stand-ups he easily relates to his guests and gives the rest of us an insight into show business. He also can put together a pretty good set when he puts his mind to it. Marc Maron is not worth listening to when he talks like a stereotypical NYC self-loathing Jew especially about how much he hates getting older. Made Man is worth watching for its opening music score, ambiance, and guest line-up. Unfortunately, like so many of today's television shows who have converted to robot cameras, the director feels the need to constantly have the camera dollying left or right. It's so distraction-and by now, so cliche'--it's annoying.
Funny how Marc didn't mention Nobody Likes Onions when talking about starting his podcast. Not only was it the first and only show to have him on at the time but he couldn't stop talking about how inspired he was by Patrick Melton. Good job Marc, it's nice to know people don't forget where they came from.

Why not Marc?
I like Marc, and WTF is great, but I just personally like PFT better, and think his style is better suited for network television.
I'd like to see him replace Piers Morgan. Have him interview Ban Ki Moon while drinking white Russians
Dylan B LOL - Exactly, I'd watch that in a heartbeat.
Dylan B I'd like to see a bus replace Pier Morgan.
At 60 MPH.
two of the best mustaches in the business. cheers
I'm in that "I am NOT the guy" phase.
Great interview as usual. Loving this series.

Ohhhhhh coffee, that makes sense. I thought groggy to hostile was describing his comedy style evolution, which I thought was switched
i fucking loved this episode. theres something uninhibited about maron's style of conversation that opens up dialogue to so much introspection and wisdom
Marc is probably one of the better comedian actors. Isn’t he? He’s good in glow
Just when I thought I'd seen all the Maron stuff on youtube, this gem pops up. Never heard of this show..Tompkins is great and they conversate really well together. #boomerlives
damn, I wanted to see him get hostile, LOL; Peace Marc, thanks poster.
Well shot, well edited, great theme and style, AND MOST OF ALL;
Paul F Tompkins, the guy is a ridiculously good host. He's so level with everyone and brings out their natural side.
DAMN If any comedian opened their set with " Is there a problem?!!" ide fuckin lose it quick lmao
Maron could 100% pull that off. And maybe Stanhope.
And come to think of it, isn't it about 90% of Bill Burr's entire act?
Marc, take a fucking breath and allow Paul to ta- aaaannnd it's over...
electrojones Caffeeeeeeeeeine
actually I think it's the fact that it's an interview with an interviewer, both of them want to take the lead, but also make it seem natural.
My only complaint about this series is that the interviews are too short! What a great show.

I got to open for Marc at the Comedy Oasis in Winnipeg in '95! It was my best show ever, and Marc was a great guy to open for!
That's awesome dude!
+godzuka I'd totally buy tickets for a comedian called godzuka ! you still work ?
Nope, haven't done stand up in over 15 years, thanks for the thought tho!
could you give me your facebook account or your e-mail ? I wanna know so much about it !
He's an unfunny douchebag
I changed a doorknob in my house. I just thought you all should know.
Groggy to hostile. That's freaking fantastic.
TITULAR
Great interview but why the fuck did you guys release it after the finale of Maron Season 2?
PFT said titular?
I hope he NEVER stops saying it no matter how many people ask him to stop
I always forget this guy is funny
Mo I like the Rtj avatar
lol
new season starts on May 8th, huh?
random, but dude you are a saint for all the Comedy Bang Bang stuff on your channel. Spent like 2 hrs last night listening to foam.
Technicality no down boo over!
Everyone, watch Thinky Pain. Excellent!
What Paul says at 9:12 is sooo on point! Don't have expectations on what you think your "success" is supposed to be or look like! Just keep following your passion and do what excites you.

Marc is the shit! Such an inspiration.
I love this Style of Colors in this Video. Its awesome.
Two comedic giants at their best! Well, I’m exaggerating but it was still pretty great...

This interview are so damn good! Like the one with Ben Schwartz. Actor/comedian's pain!
Mr. Peanutbutter! How could you? Those are Paul F. Tompkin's clothes!
I just discovered this guy from his show on IFC. Love this dude!
Mr. Plainview! Mr. Plainview, where are you going?
i would love to see nipsey hussle on this
Marc Maron I hope you read this and know how inspiring you are as you are. The words you said in this interview were the words I needed to hear. (:
Great talk between two of my favorite comedians/podcasters/just d00ds!
Yes,this was a good one.could watch these till the cows come home.
Maron is my favorite comic. I got to meet him in LA at the Steve Allen theater.
Behold: the ultimate pog!
@@opaljk4835 uhm pog like the twitch emote? Lol
These 2 make me smile
Two of the top comics working today.
Still true 10 years later

paul f tompkins speakeasy: where interviewing becomes an art.
It certainly is an art. Pft is great at it
This looks amazing. Arri Alexa?
My two favorite interviewers of all time. I remember watching this when it came out and it introduced me to PFT, Comedy Bang Bang, just a whole world of the funniest people alive.
Paul, nice suit.
Where does Hodgman fall on the "Punchable Face Scale"? I'm guessing somewhere.
Awesome interview. Paul F Tompkins is a great interviewer. He always gets the best out of his guests. Marc Maron is also the man!
The intro song reminds me of the song Spooky. Great.
Maron has natural ability to play himself. Who'd have thought?
I knew it was going to be a great episode when Marc looked into Paul's camera within the first 10 seconds
Hostile? I don’t think so. I fall again for the click bait...Damnit
Please interview Anthony Bourdain!
wtf am I watching
I hope she made it
God I love Marc, so funny, and hot
I know thats fuckin you marc
How is he funny again? I haven't seen any evidence of that anywhere.
Yes!
@@Luvie1980 he' s a commie scumbag
I love Marc.
10:13 is so very true.
Are these shown somewhere else first? I ask because They're talking about upcoming stuff that happened months ago.
i think they shoot a bunch of them over a couple of weeks and then release them slowly and not necessarily in the order in which they were shot (which is why paul's moustache disappeared briefly)
Most likely they filmed a bulk of episodes so that PFT and everyone can work on other projects at the same time.
I want to cut my thighs
Did you?

Paul F Thomstone and Chris Hardwick are almost like the same people to me

Poor man's hank azaria.
THE TITULAR MARON!!!
