Summary
Today we're joined by the multi-talented Richie Moriarty, whose comedic journey began with impressions and the stages of UCB and continues today on the hit series Ghosts . From trolling Craigslist for photography gigs to support his early acting days to landing a surreal meeting in Lorne Michaels' office after his digital sketches went viral, Richie's story is one of relentless creativity and hustle. You will not want to miss his incredible account of how a four-time Emmy-winning sports teaser alongside the legendary John Malkovich directly led to his breakout role as Pete on the hit series GHOSTS. Plus, we dive into his viral Hamilton impressions, the "masterclass" lessons he learned from Michael Caine, and what it's like to finally ride the unicorn of a long-running ensemble comedy.
