#32 | Mike Sasson

Mike Sasson, cohost of Mike & Ron: Here to Help, performs regularly at the World-Famous Hollywood Improv, clubs all over the Southwest, and then some. Mike is loud, opinionated, fun, silly, engaging, energizing, inspiring, one of the funniest and brightest comedians I am fortunate enough to consider one of my contemporaries in LA. In this must-listen of an episode, we talk about the streaming model, the WGA strike, advertising versus subscriptions, the role of studio executives in the television and movie ecosystem, why industry should be scouting comedy shows, the impact of a show like Seinfeld had on television, the third door creatives are trying to find to get that first job in show business, why it's lame to shit on Matt Rife, and so much more. Mike recalls his first job out of college working for Coca-Cola, the necessary evil of branding, and expresses the utmost admiration he has for comedians in LA who dealt with the greatest hardship, the COVID-19 pandemic, and still stuck it out.
