Bob-Waksberg is an alumnus of Bard College, where he was a member of the comedy troupe Olde English with longtime friend and Adam Ruins Everything creator, Adam Conover.
On the latest episode of the Talkhouse Podcast, BoJack Horseman creator Raphael Bob-Waksberg chats with Adam Conover, the host and creator of Adam Ruins Everything, which is now in its third season on truTV. Bob-Waksberg and Conover – who met at Bard, where they were members of the Olde English comedy troupe, and then became post-college roommates – dive deep into their shared past in a conversation that only two longtime friends could have. They talk about everything from how Conover’s personal history informs Adam Ruins Everything, their comedy philosophies (and Adam’s alternate life as a philosopher!) and their time together in Olde English, to their “dishes rule,” Howie Mandel’s prank TV show Howie Do It, and their favorite tweets that Adam has deleted. Plus, there’s a very special song improvised by Raphael during a Googling break! For more filmmakers talking film and TV, visit Talkhouse at talkhouse.com/film.
