Joe hit the “wow” so hard that Owen Wilson’s spine tingled

Joe did mushrooms a couple of times, started playing an enlightened radio host character. Been stuck that way ever since.

Larry The Cable Guy is the greatest example of a guy defined by a single character to the point that he is that character

On the other hand, you got people like Christopher Lee, who despite being a great actor was much more fascinating and cool as a person: - Fought the Nazis in WWII in British special forces - Cousin of Ian Fleming and partial inspiration for the character of James Bond - Collector of special forces insignia from all over the world - Accomplished swordsman, credited with the most on-screen swordfights of any actor - Featured in over 300 films - Good friends with Peter Cushing, Tim Burton, Johnny Depp and Peter Jackson - Met J.R.R. Tolkien and, ironically, got his personal permission to play... Gandalf - Briefly dabbled in singing opera, recorded metal albums well into his 80's

I'm just a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude!

Macho Man Randy Savage. He was always the Macho Man and that was okay with me. Oh yeah

Jeselnik looks like he's been on a strict diet of Jack Daniels and pizza pockets

Jim Carey played himself for years then decided to play a responsible adult in a single movie, he was never the same again.

“who’s the guy who runs Canada”

Larry the Cable Guy. Made a lot of money being Larry.

Justin "the guy who runs Canada" Trudeau

Rogan doing his Emo Phillips impression will never not make me cackle.

*“At least you learned to sit in the back”* might be the biggest atom bomb roast I’ve ever heard a comedian drop on an audience member.

Jeselnik looks like he's impersonating Ben Affleck

“I never met kinneson, but I never met Dice”

1:17 best Owen Wilson impression

i love tom waits. extremely gifted cat. created his own persona. and never looked back.

I played the part of the bad boy in high school that always got in trouble, did drugs, and put work on the back burner for parties. Girls loved it. I continued playing the part and it worked very nicely up until the begining of Senior year college when everyone started graduating and getting jobs and getting married.

Read about Val Kilmer playing Jim Morrison in The Doors movie. They told him he had to be ready in a couple of months and he said "No, give me a year" In that year he moved to Venice beach, got the apartment NEXT to Jim Morrisons old apartment, stayed in leather pants 24/7, and the best part.... when people came up to him to talk to him he would deny his real identity. Fan: Hey Val!! Val: Who? Im Jim. this guy lived exactly like him for a whole year. Even members from the doors on set felt like they were watching Jim Morrison live again! Really amazing, but after the movie he developed some not so good habits and he said it really changed his life. Pretty Interesting.

Speaking of Dice using Dice in his act and since it went so well he just ran with it, the same exact thing happened to PeeWee Herman. Paul had several characters he did when he was doing the clubs and for some reason PeeWee just took off and he went with it and never looked back.

"it's the same exact thing but slightly different" Joe was the kid that told his dad he got straight A's except for one B and two C's.

Rodney Dangerfield also took on this trait. Its hard to find any footage of him not in character.

I saw Andrew Dice Clay at the Celebrity theater in Phoenix in 93. It was an epic show. Some chick wore a t-shirt in the front row that said "treat me like the pig I am". He did not disappoint.

That Bobcat story is gold.... XD

That’s interesting about the comedians style changing over the years. I’ve been around romance authors for nearly 30 years and a lot of them have said that their writing has changed because of their age and the way they view things now versus when they were young.

Good to have Ben Aflec on. I hope we check out his batmobile.

Day the laughter died is fucking phenomenal. The fact it was all impromptu makes it even more incredible.

Damn! I'm from aurora, co. And if I was in that audience, my laugh would be echoing through that silent room!!

Ric Flair's another one WOOOO!

Joe's OH! at 3:28 its spot on, one of the best i've heard.

Joe "Exactly the same but different" Rogan

Pauley Shore is another college kid persona that didn't age well.

Pretty sure Anthony was asking himself what the hell he'd done wrong to have to discuss Doonesbury for an extended period of time

Heard Gilbert's real voice not long ago and it was unsettling

The real reason Pauly Shore isn't popular anymore is because he picked a character that had a definite time limit.

The Day The Laughter Dies IS one of the best comedy albums ever.

I saw Emo open for Weird Al a couple years ago. He’s great. Not weird at all.

Joe's Emo Phillips imitation is actually really good!

HST was the best. A real genius. His writing was incredible. No one before or since has used words like that.

Lmao! Damn I spit my coffee out when Joe did his cigarette impression

Best Emo Phillips impression. EVER!

check out the ego on Anthony "Dice knows who I am because I've talked about him"

Gilbert Gotfried did the best Dice impression.

I tuned in for the Dice but got the best Bobcat story I've ever heard! I love the tension in a room that you can't cut with a chainsaw. Thank you Anthony!

I never knew dane cook was so down to earth 🤷‍♂️

"He must know who I am..." 😂😂😂 This guy

"I never got Doonesbury." Modern "comedians," ladies and gentlemen! And it's true: Hunter S. Thompson did NOTHING to encourage the image of a gun-firing maniac...

Joe says the Doonesbury comic is what drove HS Thompson crazy. Yeah, THAT's what drove him crazy!

I always wondered if that happened with Robin Williams. If it was a character or if he was really 1000MPH and seemingly ready to fly out of contol all the time. Because PUBLICLY he was 1000MPH all the time.

HST Raoul Duke, DOONSBURY Uncle Duke.

I want Larry the Cable guy to do jokes like: "You know when the driver talks too much an' you gotta roll up that divider window on yer lim-o-usine ?? 🤠"

Jason Sudekis is Anthony's alter ego?

I don’t want to live in a world where you can’t get drunk and shoot guns

Gilber Gottfried is the first one to come to mind

That Bobcat story at the end was deadly.

Lol “the guy who runs Canada” runs like our country’s a 711

Jack Nicholson has played himself for the past 40 years and no one can convince me otherwise

"Living the Gimmick" is what they call it in the pro wrestling world. See Flair, Ric (aka Richard Fleihr) and Savage, Randy (aka Randy Poffo).

Honestly that Boulder joke is fucking solid Usually the best jokes just fly out the brain

There's Gilbert of course (I don't even need to say the last name, that's how all consuming the character is). Paul Reubens got very locked in to a single character but to his credit he didn't actually become that character ever.

I was at that Bobcat show and was sitting in the back AND I'm from Aurora...it wasn't me though.

Ric Flair. Dude even changed his real name to a wrestling gimmick.

Hunter S Thompson was always drinking and shooting guns 😂

Them bringing up Emo Phillips made my year

Hey Joe get Norm MacDonald on the show

I never thought I'd see Joe do Emo Philips

I saws Emo Phillips in San Francisco and he killed. As soon as he got off stage he was just mellow and a regular chill guy.

Damn bobcat was fuckin savage with that one man lmao

Bobcat needs more specials like the man to me is awesome like his whole bit about being on a plane with the special Olympic team

The only talk show, where the host talks more than the guest.

My mother met Andrew Dice Clay in the lobby of a hotel (in Manhattan) once as she was checking out and he was apparently checking in. It was right after he'd been kicked off of Celebrity Apprentice, and she commented something to him about having been following the show. And he politely chit-chatted with her about it for a few minutes. Didn't seem at all annoyed at being recognized and approached by some random woman in her 60s (at the time). If he was annoyed at anything it was the fact that he'd been eliminated from the show and he seemed to kind of appreciate the chance to vent about it a little bit to a complete stranger.

4:26 probably the best moment of mankind ever

1:17 Owen Wilson. I kid you not.

Joe 'Is this still real?" Rogan

Jeselnik is the best stand up comedian I've ever seen.

Anthony Jeselnik on the Joe Rogan podcast... ABOUT FUCKING TIME!!!!! Wel done Joe, about time. AJ is (*imo) the best stand-up comedian I've seen in years and years.

My favorite thing Dice Clay did was that small part in the Woody Allen movie Blue Jasmine

“The exact same but slightly different.” That’s not how it works, Joe.

I always thought it was hilarious that people would like Larry the Cable Guy. It was a skit he invented making fun of rural folks and it became so popular it became his full time personality. Earlier videos of him he didn't even have a "southern accent"

That comic didn't drive Thompson nuts, that guy was fucking nuts.

If u smoke too much pot u dont get higher u just get low on pot"ghallagher "

People assume many characters during life, especially if they have multiple jobs that they perform. The 'main character' that people perform as is themselves, though that is a bit of a nuanced personality as people do not possess a definitive 'character'. For example I can not say precisely 'Who I Am'. I know how I act in front of other people, and present myself differently depending on the situation. At work I am a fairly jovial fellow, cracking jokes, bantering with my coworkers, all in an effort to create a enjoyable environment. I am basically playing in a way to make the day more fun. Yet when I am by myself, I become more introverted, meditative, contemplating a wide array of subjects and topics. One of my favorite pastimes is to study words, specifically the semantics of them, their origin, and speculating on how to united the original meanings of words, with the modern usage. I also like to visualize examples where the words can be used to describe the world. Though I guess the primary goal of the activity is philosophical as well as theological. So in a way I feel like the wise man playing the fool at times, or perhaps the other way around, and for some reason I find such a dichotomy to be hilarious. Cause I know that I am different then what I portray to people...Kind of how you act differently when dealing with children.

Kinda surprising, because I assumed Jeselnik was one of those guys who tries to stay in his own stage persona. Very glad he has a separate identity.

Bobscratch Goldweight is a legend

Nice you got Dane Cook on!

pac after juice became his character, started with the whole thug life bs.

I saw Dice in 91 (or 92) at the Palace of Auburn Hills. Dice and a mic that’s was it. He CRUSHED that crowd of almost 20k

Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin. Elvira. Dog the Bounty Hunter. And the musicians - Bono, Prince, Michael Jackson, David Lee Roth. Interesting how KISS rebelled against this by dropping their makeup for a while, and Metallica cut their hair short too, and as part of their act, not just for going around in public.

*joe "when he was a young cute guy" Rogan*

This is true, I caught TB after playing RDR2

What I remember from the movie theater shooting is Captain Janks calling in and saying it was Howard Stern.

it feels like Anthony Jeselnik went through puberty since the last time i saw him

Joe "who's da guy dat runs canada" Rogen

is it just me or doesnt he look like Dane Cook

Governor's: "Hey, Dice left one of his gloves." Jeselnik: "Hey assholes. I'm fucking famous. 3:21"

Mr. Bean, a 100% bean like vessel, has no room for character. He lives the bean. This discussion is irrelevant.

"0:02" Right.

Jeaneanne Garofalo is still doing that GenX/Daria persona that, and I'm saying this as a GenXer, has not aged well. Good actress, though.

Anthony Cumia does a great Dice impression, you’d swear it was the real Dice!!!
