Welcome back to the best podcast in my world, Destroy All Sketch Comedians! Congrats everybody! We did it! Happy 1st Anniversary! This is our 28th show and we've been putting up a new show every other Monday for exactly a year. They said it couldn't be done. Well actually no one said that. Well maybe Matt did but that's him trying reverse psychology on me. Ha! It didn't work, Matt! You see?! We made a whole year of episodes and you said.... Wait. Whatever anyway we are honoring on this big anniversary episode one of the true kings of absurd sketch comedy, Ernie Kovacs. He played with the new medium of television like no one before him. Very influential man to our sketch comedy group when we started way back in the nineties. Basically if you baecame a big fan of his work, you probably were going to get the bug to perform your own sketch comedy. He was the Velvet Underground of sketch. Oh and one more thing! This is our season finale and we have quite a thrilling moment in the episode when my kickass co-hosts, Matthew Filipowicz, Mark Piszczor, James Davis and I, await with bated breath, if our special guest co-host the wonderful Amy Gard will make it in time to tell of all her wacky adventures that Ernie Kovacs inspired in her whimsical life. As the show begins to wind down we fear the worst but just when you think you can't wait anymore....we wait some more and then what happens will blow all of your collective minds! Becuase well she ....... You'll just have to listen to find out what happens on the Destroy All Sketch Comendians season finale!","meta_description":"Hello!
