Maron: "The best thing you can do as a comic is make someone feel less alone"

Guest host Mike Birbiglia interviewed Marc Maron on episode 200 of WTF and hit up past WTF guests for questions. It's a great convo. Here's Maron on the best thing you can do as a comic:

The best thing you can do as a comic is make someone feel less alone...There are two things that I think are essential with good comedy: That you actually make somebody see something in a different way completely. Or that you make people feel less alone.

I also loved this line from Birbigs when he was talking about how Stanhope is his fave comic right now: "He's got a new hour every fifteen minutes." Heh.

Speaking of, I just relistened to Deadbeat Hero. Man is it fucking good. Watch below...
