Description
Anjelah Johnson-Reyes starts each day with gratitude. When you remind yourself of what you’re grateful for and say it out loud, you’re not only speaking good into the world, but good into yourself. Each episode, Anjelah and her guest will recount the things that they are grateful for and dive deep into how those gratitudes affect their lives. We all have a lot to be grateful for, but there’s always that one thing that can set you off, make you mad, and give you a bad attitude. Or as Anjelah likes to call it, a maditude. So join Anjelah and friends as they share their gratitudes and maditudes and let it out and let it go on “Funjelah.”

Who says TV rots your brain? For comedian TJ, it's how he learned English. From Comedy Central to the History Channel, he's in the studio this week sharing what it took to get him from Haiti to New York to a seat at the Comedy Cellar table. He shares his gratitude for his friends and his girlfriend, his green card, and the ability to pay his bills by doing stand up. He and Anjelah also get real about influencers turned comedians and what it really takes to be proud and satisfied in the work you do.
Comedian Kevin Sullivan just wants one thing in this life: to be able to trick-or-treat as an adult. Why can't we have candy too? Actually, Kevin really wants to make people laugh, and he shares with Anjelah how a very persistent stand up coach got him on stage, why astrology and crowd work go hand in hand, and what it was like growing up with 8 siblings. He also shares how he has been co-parenting his dog with his ex for the past 10 years and how tennis has become his outlet for his competitiveness. And nothing bonds two comedians quite like heckler stories.
From watching Eddie Murphy at age 9 to punching up scripts on Everybody Hates Chris, comedian Owen Smith takes us through his whole entertainer journey. In this week's episode, he talks about his first open mic, the wadded up $25 in cash that told him he could do this, and the radio deal he turned down to give LA a chance. But his biggest lesson? Relationships are everything, and nobody wants to see you win more than your friends.
Comedian Mario Adrion is here to set the record straight: he's more than just a pretty face. In this episode, Mario spills stories from his modeling days in NYC, explains how he jumped into stand-up comedy, and reveals what it really means to have a German mom. He also delivers a public service announcement: think twice about eating corn in Chile right before a long bus ride. Thanks to his grounded childhood, Mario is ready for his next adventure: becoming a dad.
Okay we know that we don't have video footage for our guest this week and we apologize for that. So thank goodness our guest is comedian Michael Yo, who got his start in radio! He did always have a face for it. In this episode, Michael reminds us that at the end of the day, it's all about how you treat someone that will get you far in life. And nothing makes him happier than seeing people succeed at their dreams. Michael also shares his gratitude for finding his people in Las Vegas and building a grounded community.
