Jake Johannsen (Full Interview)

May 26, 2017 - Comedians

Jake is one of the most original comics ever to step on a stage, and one of the best. He and David catch up.

Jake Johanssen joins us. He is no stranger to comedy fans. He’s never been on this show before, but he’s no stranger to my listeners because I’ve mentioned him a lot. Here’s why. Dennis Miller used to say to me that every comic, when they’re starting out, picks a guy who he uses as a yardstick, who he measures his career against. I made the mistake of measuring my career against Jake. This was a huge mistake. Because Jake, for example, has appeared on David Letterman 46 times. Countless specials on HBO and Comedy Central, and his podcast is “Jake this.” He will be at hilarities in Cleveland, Ohio June 15th through the 18th. Go see Jake.

Then, the Fourth US circuit court of appeals ruled against Donald Trump’s travel ban saying it violated the constitution by specifically targeting Muslims. In their ruling the court cited an amicus brief co-written by Constitutional Scholar Corey Brettschneider, author of “When The State Speaks.” Professor Corey Brettschneider teaches constitutional law at Brown University and today we talk about what it will take to impeach Donald trump and why the most important thing we can do as citizens is not being cynical.
