It’s Chit Chat Wednesday on the JTrain Podcast, and Jared is joined by comedian Steven Rogers, whose new special Half of We is out now and packed with sharp, heartfelt jokes, especially a standout bit at the end that Jared calls a classic.
They talk about the world of clean comedy, including Steven’s experience opening for Brian Regan, how audiences react to “clean” comics, and what it means to stay true to your comedic voice.
The episode also gets personal as Steven opens up about his broken engagement and navigating the dating world for the first time in years. Jared shares his own thoughts on using vulnerability in comedy and how crowds respond to it.
Later, the conversation dives into reality TV, from The Golden Bachelor to Survivor. Jared defends the intention behind his Bachelor recaps, pushing back against accusations of ageism and highlighting the thought and character work that goes into his humor. He and Steven also bond over Survivor’s evolution into a show that tackles real social dynamics, praising host Jeff Probst as one of the best in the business, maybe even fit to moderate a presidential debate.
