Comedy is really best when watched with other people, and I don't really understand people who sit at home watching comedy movies on Netflix. Scott Aukerman comedyhomemovie Change image and share on social
I'm not the type of guy who's funny in the room. I'm the guy who's funny late at night on a computer, trying to construct jokes. Scott Aukerman computerconstructfunny Change image and share on social
That's one of the benefits of working with a smaller network like IFC. You're awarded more trust, but trust that I really earned. Scott Aukerman awardbenefitearn Change image and share on social
If you look at Earwolf, we've tried to have a really diverse stable of hosts. Even my show can get a little 'dudey' sometimes. Scott Aukerman diversedudeyearwolf Change image and share on social
My partner, Jeff Ullrich, and I always thought Earwolf was going to be big. There were a couple of studies before we launched saying podcasts were going to really grow. But I remember so many conversations at the beginning where people would say, 'How are you going to make money with this?' Scott Aukerman beginbigconversation share on social
What I love about comedy is breaking down the barrier between the audience and the performer. Scott Aukerman audiencebarrierbreak Change image and share on social
The big problem in translating is that we had to translate the language. People may not know that we record the podcast in Japanese, translate it to English and then actors play us on the podcast. I'm not actually Scott Aukerman, I'm the actor who plays his voice on the podcast. Unfortunately, it's cost prohibitive on a television show. Scott Aukerman actoraukermanbig share on social
I was a standup comic, which doesn't necessarily mean you interact with people all that much. In fact when I did shows, I wouldn't talk to the audience very much. Then my friend offered me a radio show, and I thought, you know, I'll try talking to people and see what kind of interviewer I was. Scott Aukerman audiencecomicfact share on social
You see people who are disenfranchised elsewhere coming to Comic Con and making lifetime friends. I love seeing the outcasts of society all bonding together. Scott Aukerman bondcomecomic Change image and share on social
I think comedians should focus on what makes them happy, what art form fulfills them the most. Don't be calculated about it and say, 'Okay, I'm gonna tweet, and I'm gonna podcast, and I'm gonna do standup, and one of those things is going to lead me to my own TV show.' I don't think that should be the goal. Scott Aukerman artcalculatecomedian share on social
