Robert Smigel Launches Comedy Podcast to Help People Be Funnier
Robert Smigel is launching his first podcast, 'Humor Me With Robert Smigel & Friends,' where he and comedian collaborators help individuals rewrite real-life scenarios to be funnier. The weekly show, produced by iHeartMedia and Will Ferrell's Big Money Players Network, premieres May 8 and will be available on major podcast platforms. Submissions for comedic consulting are collected via a dedicated website, with topics ranging from eulogies to Tinder profiles. Smigel, known for his work on 'Saturday Night Live,' said the idea stemmed from the joy of brainstorming in comedy writers' rooms. His wife, Michelle Saks Smigel, is credited as the show's creator and helped shape the interactive concept.
