Kevin Rooney Part 1: Low hanging Fruit
Manage episode 150750308 series 1006015
In this episode, Paul sits down with Emmy Award Winning TV Writer, Actor and Comedian Kevin Rooney. The two have quite a lot in common, including a working class background, attending many different colleges, and both of them also truly enjoyed working as a custodian before pursuing standup comedy as a career.
Paul digs into the archives and finds Kevin's appearance on the TV Show "Cheers" to begin the episode. Kevin talks about the long road from college to the army, to more colleges, then to New York, coming out to Hollywood, enjoying success in showbusiness as a writer and a producer while putting standup comedy on the backburner. Great comedy minds like Judd Apatow and Dana Gould quote Rooney's advice often, so sit back and listen to Paul pick Kevin's brain about comedy, showbusiness, and life from a guy who has been through it all.
