Josh Gondelman Writes For a Huge TV Show, Created a Giant Twitter Persona, Released His New Album on Digital and Cassette…and He’s the Nicest Guy in Comedy

I dare you to describe Josh Gondelman as a comedian or a person without using the word “delightful.” It can’t be done. Josh takes the kind of gentle approach to his set, even when dealing with darker or edgier material, that can keep you comfortable in the audience whether you’re on a first date or taking out with your grandma. He is also unfailingly positive and supportive towards his fellow comedians and a true joy to spend time with off stage.

A Craig Ferguson Fan Explains Why Join or Die Doesn’t Connect For Him

Mind you, Craig Ferguson is a very funny fellow, as anyone who followed him on The Late, Late Show (or even Drew Carey’s show before that) can attest. In his most recent venture, a show called Join or Die on the History Channel, he is a good deal less so. Part of that may be because, as he himself probably realized when he left Late Late, he is running out of gas. Perhaps a bigger part may be that this show does not provide a particularly good format for him or any of his guests to generate laughs.
