Chris Fairbanks: Comedian, Artist, Skateboarder, Wrestler

Darryl — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 14:20:20 +0000

Season 10 of Never Not Funny keeps the laughs coming as Jimmy Pardo and Matt Belknap welcome Chris Fairbanks to the illustrious Never Not Funny Studios, high atop the 7-11 Tower in Sherman Oaks, California.

Chris talks about his recent foray into the highly desirable field of wrestling women in shaving cream, and why it may not be as good an idea as it sounds. Jimmy also explores the finer workings of Chris’s artistic talents, the recent cancellation of The Daily Habit, and whether I am from Missoula or Billings, Montana.

Thanks for the shout-out guys! That will fuel Never Not Notes for another several months.

Beneath the Conquest of the Rise of the Battle for the Planet of Dana Gould

Darryl — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 05:25:23 +0000

Some things in entertainment are good, and some are iconic. Two of these iconic things are the original Planet of the Apes movies, and Dana Gould, although Dana is a person and not a thing, but you know what I mean, don’t make me explain it.

Dana Gould is a respected veteran of comedy, and his appearance on Jimmy Pardo’s award-winning podcast Never Not Funny is joyously welcomed by comedy fans everywhere, or least among those who listen to Never Not Funny. Jimmy and Dana share a love of comedy, and a love for the Planet of the Apes movies, but while Jimmy may have bought the DVD set, Dana went big-time and bought Planet of the Apes star Roddy McDowell’s old house!

Infamous and Polarizing: Episode 505 with Greg Fitzsimmons

Darryl — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 03:49:36 +0000

Jimmy Pardo and Greg Fitzsimmons are friends. Honest! But like most friendships, there can be misunderstandings, lack of proper communication, just plain not being on the same page, and, occasionally, one friend might be somewhat overmedicated. This can lead to awkwardness and/or hilarity!

It’s all cleared up now, partly thanks to Jimmy visiting Greg’s podcast, but Episode 505 of Never Not Funny turned out to be one of the most polarizing in NNF history. I’m on the record (at the Pardcast.com message boards) of coming down on the side of “hilarious.” I make no apologies, but revisiting after all these ears I found it more awkward than I did originally.

In any case, it is a piece of Never Not Funny history, and now here it is on Never Not Notes, in exclusive KwikeeNotes(tm) format. Enjoy!

From the Archives: The Fighty Trilogy Part 1: Episode 408

Darryl — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 01:11:17 +0000

We all know about the infamous Episode 523 (AKA: The Mic-Throwing Episode). What you may not know is that it is actually Part 3 of what I have dubbed The Fighty Trilogy. These are the three episodes in which Jimmy, Matt, and Pat are the most, uh, fighty.

Episode 408 is Part 1 of The Fighty Trilogy, wherein the guys argue over who is the most rude in e-mail form. But it’s not all a slugfest. We also get to hear about Nana’s monkey and Andrew’s story about filming a movie with Gary Busey.

Coming soon, Part 2 of the Fighty Trilogy: Episode 514, in which the guys discuss Michael Jackson on the day after the memorial. But for now…

Darryl — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 14:23:04 +0000

Jimmy Pardo and Matt Belknap welcome Harland Williams to the award-winning Never Not Funny Podcast to open up Season 10.

Harland has what is technically called in the business of show ”an assload” of acting, writing, and performing credits, some of which Jimmy even remembers! Harland, Jimmy, and Matt discuss far-ranging topics including his children’s books, his movie roles, and his poo-related first meeting with Jimmy. Along the way they touch on the inside scoop of rights clearances, Elton John, and the impending holiday known as “Christmas.”

Also, do the balcony smoke-lovers make another appearance? You’ll have to listen to find out.

Another Special Episode of Never Not Notes: Jimmy and The Nerdist

Darryl — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 04:43:52 +0000

Those Never Not Funny guys just can’t take a week off can they?

During the one-week hiatus between seasons, Matt guested on Jordan, Jesse, Go! (see previous post) and Jimmy showed up on Chris Hardwick’s poplar podcast The Nerdist.

So, since they didn’t take a week off, neither did I. I covered Matt’s JJGO! appearance, so to avoid jealousy and charges of favoritism, I herewith present coverage of Jimmy’s appearance on The Nerdist. Boys, boys, don’t fight! You’re both beautiful!
