Before the special was shown at midnight, I was sitting in the cafe having a bite to eat and was joined by Alia Janine, ex-porn star turned comedian and her friend comic Hannah Harkness. ![]() Big Jay is like a rock star, and the special was done that way too. I was there for the taping, but it’s the kind of thing you want to watch more than once. I went out to the opening party which doubled as a viewing of Big Jay’s Comedy Central special shot at Webster Hall. Gomez, Rebecca Trent of The Creek and The Cave, and Christine Marie Evans.

But here, the executive producer is also the director and is on the set, so changes can be made on the spot without having to wait for anyone’s permission. He said that with network shows, you gotta go through like nine people to make any changes. He says that every episode is a work in progress and even things you say in real time, during set ups can wind up on the show. Despite that Bobby said it was the most fun set to work on and ad libbing is not only acceptable, it’s encouraged. ![]() After he almost had a heart attack, they all laughed and washed off the paint and the car was fine. ![]() And they put it in the bloopers video that they made at the end of the season. And they had a camera set up and taped his reaction which he said was almost tears. Denis and another partner at Apostle got the art department to paint his car so it looked like it was severely damaged. He had just gotten a brand new Ford Edge Sport and took care of it like it was a baby. Bobby told me they played a mean trick on him one day.

One of the young comics almost got out a joke! Ron referred to Rich and Bonnie as “the most vicious couple in America” and if you want to see why, stay tuned.

Robert Kelly, Bonnie McFarlane, and Rich Vos were the three “mentors”, judges, and executioners, who guided several young open mic comedians into a path of suicide.
