Marc Maron’s Life After WTF - What Comes Next?

Marc Maron talks with the LA Times about adjusting to life after podcasting, how losing WTF’s monologues changes his joke-writing, and his plan to film a new special in December possibly titled “Free Time.” He also covers NBC discussions about celebrating The Tonight Show’s 75th anniversary in 2029, noting past milestone anniversaries that went unacknowledged, and speculating about possible returning hosts. Mac promotes his “Is Late Night Dead?” podcast (episodes on Steve Allen and Jack Paar) and explains adding weekend bonus drops for fourth-quarter ad revenue. Conan O’Brien shares New Yorker Festival reflections on late-night, a John Candy story, and a joke about Lorne Michaels never retiring. The episode lists New York Comedy Festival highlights and spotlights Hannah Magy and climate-focused comic Forrest Shaw. 00:12 Marc Maron After Podcasting01:08 Tonight Show 75th Anniversary Talk03:22 Bonus Podcast Episodes Plug04:35 Conan OBrien Festival Stories07:35 New York Comedy Festival Picks09:30 Comedians To Watch Highlights10:23 Forrest Shaw Climate Comedy11:31 Wrap Up And Sign OffBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/daily-comedy-news-with-johnny-mac--4522158/support.🎄 DCN every day, no ads, for the whole family: Caloroga+ on Apple Podcasts is $49.99 a year and shares with up to 6 people.
