And Juskow for All

The 500th Episode of the combined Dave Juskow podcasts - The Spread, The Nightfly and Juskow in the City. For this episode I decided to record it with my other weekly YouTube Show at the Comedy Cellar (Comedy Cellar Tuesdays with Dave Juskow). So joining me on this episode recorded Tuesday December 10, 2024 are Dave Attell, Nick Griffin and Russ Meneve. We really had a great time recording this. Later in the episode I put up pictures of old comedians we either started with or were ahead of us when we first started to see if we could guess their names. It was alot of fun. I think you'll like it too. I couldn't be happier that this one, the 500th episode, is now one of my favorite episodes. That's the way it should be. Thanks so much for being a loyal listener of Juskow in the City. And, please feel free to sign up for my Patreon page if you liked the show. Thanks to all my friends and listeners that have become friends I've been lucky enough to meet along the way.Dave Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The 499th Episode. But it's just what'd you'd get in a normal Juskow in the City, cause why change genius? Am I right? This week a pigeon flies into my coat while I'm riding the bike (I thought we had a deal!); an awful comedy club xmas party; the student that came to dinner & Wicked! Next week -- the big 500th! Happy Holidays!If you notice the Season and Episodes changed on top it's because I've been using just how long we've been doing the Juskow in the City moniker. Season 10 and 499 is all encompassing Juskow from 2014 when it was called, "The Spread" and later "The Nightfly". Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The final episode of "Juskow in the City" but don't worry (cause I can tell you're worried) - we'll be back in the fall with a new name and an edgier podcast. It'll be hip and youthful and lots of animal acts. I only wish I could actually provide that. Yeah, it'll probably be the same BUT. . . whatcha gonna do. Thanks for listening for 529 episodes (and counting) when you combine all things Juskow. (All things Juskow will not be the name of the new show - or wait. . .hmmm). Hosted on Acast.

Oh god, it's true. I went into 4 different, maybe 5 different restaurants/coffee shops this week and none of them had air. Now that I think about it, even a Walgreens downtown had fans blowing. WTF!! Ironically, going from extreme heat to extreme cold did get me sick so, I guess I'll just have to move. This week, going to see Sam Morril and Rachel Feinstein in Red Bank with the Mayor of Red Bank of course AND a big Comedy Cellar birthday party. Also, seeing the off broadway (smash, I guess), Ginger Twinsies (based on The Parent Trap). Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It was the 80's -- and supermodels were taking chances on Billy Joel looking kids like myself. This is one of those stories. Plus, my mom and new John Lennon gossip that spread through the neighborhood. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I just found out that one of my young stand-comedy friends has been doing stand-up for 13 years. I thought she had been doing it for possibly 5. This changes everything which led me discuss where you should be in stand-up comedy timeline and why you should give up if you haven't met the right friends yet. It's brutal truth time. AND, another soaking wet feet day. Ugh. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week we get to meet "Hacks" Jean Smart and see her incredible performance in a one woman show on Broadway. Hey, she's alright. After that we go where all the elite Broadway crowd goes as the Roastmaster and me take advantage of his coming to Broadway. After that it's another memorial for that awful club owner, but. . . it's always podcast gold so I keep going. This time was no exception as the kosher restaurant luncheon after the memorial was out of cole slaw. A jewish deli out of cole slaw on a Sunday morning. How is the president not involved!!??? Worst deli ever (said like comic book guy). AND, the one of the most important emails of my later career and I didn't get it because I switched phones that day. I mean -- that's just epic. This is a fun episode. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Today, besides a little housekeeping, we are discussing the band Survivor. I know, why? Well, turns out their creator Jim Peterik is quite an interesting guy and has written a bunch of hits you didn't realize - which, of course, is my favorite thing to teach -- as a professor. Be prepared to be not completely amazed but more like, oh wow - I didn't know that. Which I'm good with 😀 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Today on the show we attend a memorial service for one of the most disliked men in comedy, Al Martin. It's true. He had alot of haters BUT he outlasted most of the comedy clubs in New York City AND, most importantly, it turned out I was the most famous person to attend (after Marina Franklin left for the bathroom) 😉. Then I got a new muffler for my car. I mean, what a podcast! 😄 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hello all. Today on a most exciting episode of Juskow in the City we talk about the Big Event at the Comedy Cellar that went spectacularly well (although you'd never know from the video of me doing comedy - which you can see if you're on patreon 😅). But everything the Comedy Cellar did to sabotage the show backfired and everyone was happy including the audience, the comics and the wait staff - and probably the Comedy Cellar eventually. Then the next night I had the exact opposite experience in Crooklyn. The Classic juxtaposition - today on Juskow in the City. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Welcome back everyone and I hope you all had a great holiday weekend. So this week I had an old school weekday party on Tuesday and Thursday. Tuesday was comedians day as I watched the New York Knicks lose to the Indiana Pacers at comedian Sam Morril's apartment with guest stars Chris DeStefano, Mike Veccione, Todd Barry and Rachel Feinstein. And Thursday was musician day as we had a lovely shin dig down on Wall Street to celebrate musician Colin Smith's surprise birthday party. If you subscribe to Patreon you'll be able to see and hear it. 😀 It was awesome. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Well it's been a bleak week BUT obviously we have our Larry David and Albert Brooks clips to keep our spirits up. I've been talking to a friend who turns out is IN Defending Your Life - AND my favorite scene - so . . . that's incredible. And, I got my car window fixed, so now I can go around saying, "Hey Babe, be back to pick you up later." I live a full life. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

EGGzactly, how could electing a New Pope possibly affect Dave Juskow? But it's true. Find out today why. AND, the race to the new parking garage that closes at midnight. It's an action packed new Juskow in the City! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What a wonderful Wednesday it was here in NYC as I fully took advantage of living here and got the luxury of seeing 2 Broadway shows in one day. First our friend Josh Harmon and his new comedy drama "We Had a World", which was fantastic. Then 3 hours later, dinner with David Yazbek (the day before he was nominated for a Tony Award) and then his new musical "Dead Outlaw" as it moved to Broadway from the Off-Broadway theatre I had originally seen it in. A True Juskow in the City experience that can only be brought to you by your pal, Dave Juskow. Great stuff. And go see those shows if you come to town. 😉 Hosted on Acast.

My Car got upgraded to a new garage on the 4th floor with a window and now has a better view then I do from my apartment. This City is dumb. The Comedy Cellar held their annual Xmas party this week - is that the hilarity, having it in April, cause it's not that funny? But. . . Also, the fun times as Sarah Silverman performs right next door to the University and the big nickelodeon star that usurped Sarah - in a hilarious way of course. Rhoda's annoying 91st and an annoying dinner at the restaurant where they hate giving me parmesan cheese. 😅 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week everywhere I went they were out of Johnny Walker Black. It seems wherever I go, they're out of whatever I want. What's that about? Also, we had to send a steak back at another crummy snobatorium AND I had to tip a guy pumping gas for getting me my missing gas cap back that he lost. Classic! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week opens with a waitress at Chili's (yes you heard right) who was a complete Debbie Downer and got fired in the middle of serving us. HELLO!! Classic. Also, the two brits that saved Christmas (or what we call Russ Meneve's birthday party) thanks to Nick Griffin, who will be replaced by a new younger model. ALL will be explained in this exciting episode of Juskow in the City - 2025 Tax Edition. 😉 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week on the podcast my mother is 20 minutes late to my lecture on how horrible a mother she is, but granted it went on for about four hours so she just missed years 3-7. Then, it's tough parking in NYC so my new parking garage will become the worst place to park come Christmas as it is directly across from the Rockefeller Center Xmas Tree. AND, a big night out on Tuesday that cost about $1,000. It's not that normal, BUT, it's what you get sometimes being Juskow in the CITY (New York City that is!) Oy. Also, our friend Vincent lets us know that Paul McCartney is extremely cheap and lots of John Waite talk. Now seriously, where do you find another podcast like this? Yeah, you can say it. . . . NOWHERE! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week on Juskow in the City alot of time spent in the East Village of New York, which I don't normally spend time in BUT, 2 outstanding times with just minor annoyances - especially rain since I wanted to break in my waterproof backpack - except I forgot to get a waterproof jacket. Also a Mark Normand documentary opening that was quite interesting and my mother's next door neighbor of 20 years has no idea who my mother is since she's moved 5 years ago. Oh, and don't worry, it's not dementia or anything, my mother's just not memorable. So classic. And, of course, the yearly trek to Staten Island. Oy. Hosted on Acast.

This week after making the right choice to see a Broadway star friend in a play, it turns out to be an embarrassing wrong choice. Also, take your half marathons and shove 'em! And still, apparently my 30 year old backpack isn't waterproof, the 40 year old movie "Labyrinth" and the 50 year old friend's game show he invented and still doesn't know the rules. Hilarious!
