  • Meet Zach Sherwin, comedic rapper, writer, and former scribe behind the rhymes on The CW's hit show Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. You might also recognize Zach from his epic throwdowns on the YouTube series Epic Rap Battles of History.

    Zach and Dennis discuss the strange jobs comedians take on (because, let's be honest, comedy doesn't always pay the bills). They also explore Zach's lifelong love of language, from spelling bees to hip hop. Zach reveals how his Jewish heritage surprisingly influenced his love of rap, and how he went from college comedy groups to open mics in Boston, eventually landing in LA.

    Later, they delve into the symbolism of numbers and wordplay in Jewish culture, and Zach shares more about his experience on Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.

    Get ready to laugh and learn alongside these two comedy wordsmiths!

    KEEP UP WITH ZACH

    Zach Sherwin (born July 1, 1980) is an American comedian, rapper, writer, and actor best known for writing for and performing in the Epic Rap Battles of History YouTube series, as well as writing for Crazy Ex-Girlfriend on The CW. He specializes in comedic rap.

    In β€œThe Crossword Show”host Zach Sherwin presides as two guest comedians solve an actual crossword puzzle live onstage, with everything displayed on a big screen so the audience can follow along. As the panelists decipher the clues, Zach takes the show down rabbit holes of comedy, music, wordplay, and trivia, all inspired by the various answer words. More and more connections emerge as the show unfolds, and everything ultimately ties together for a grand finale that’s as satisfying as it is astonishing. You don’t need any crossword expertise to be dazzled by this brain-tickling, one-of-a-kind entertainment experience!

    ABOUT KIKI
    Before she was a comic, Kiki Andersen was an Emmy award-winning news reporter under her real name, Kelly Andersen, but after enough people confused her for Kellyanne Conway on Twitter (yes, really) she decided to change her name, her career and do something way less depressing.
    Now she uses everything she learned about how the world works to make people laugh.
    Kiki lives in Los Angeles where she does standup and sketch comedy seven nights a week. Since moving west, she has rapidly moved up the comedy ladder, performing regularly at the Laugh Factory and other clubs on the west coast. Kiki was recently the featured act in a string of sold out shows for Nate Jackson. As a former member of the Supernova comedy productions team, Kiki has shared the stage with comedy’s biggest stars including Bill Burr, Whitney Cummings, Jim Jefferies, Nick Kroll and others.

  • Get ready for an unadulterated thrill ride of laughs and spills as Steve-O, the wild man behind Jackass and the outrageous Bucket List tour, takes center stage in a no-holds-barred interview with Deadair Dennis Maler. 🀘

    Steve-O holds nothing back as he delves into his most jaw-dropping stunts, spills the beans on his deepest regrets, and shares the wild rides that left his better half less than thrilled. Candid revelations about his friendship with Bam Margera and his unyielding loyalty add a layer of raw authenticity to the conversation, while his journey to sobriety offers a surprising twist that few saw coming. 🎀🎭

    You've witnessed Steve-O's fearless antics and audacious stunts over the years, but in the last decade, he's transformed into a stand-up comedian. Armed with his life experiences, he delivers uproarious multimedia comedy to audiences worldwide. With over 14 years of sobriety under his belt, he's not just a comedy powerhouse but also a savvy entrepreneur whose hustle knows no bounds. πŸ’ΌπŸ’‘

    In 2022, he made a triumphant return to the Jackass crew for "Jackass Forever," a box office smash that reclaimed the #1 spot. His recent release, "A Hard Kick In The Nuts: What I’ve Learned From A Lifetime Of Terrible Decisions," follows the footsteps of his New York Times Best Seller "Professional Idiot: A Memoir." πŸ“šπŸŽ¬

    And let's not forget the digital realm – Steve-O's YouTube channel is a sensation, boasting millions of views. His "Wild Ride with Steve-O" podcast, featuring guests like Post Malone, Adam Devine, Tony Hawk, Eric Andre, and Blink 182's Tom DeLonge, has struck a chord with fans worldwide. 🎧πŸŽ₯

    Steve-O (a.k.a. Stephen Glover) was willing to do whatever it took to become famous, even if it meant stapling his ball sack to his leg. After failing miserably at the University of Miami and couch-surfing with friends, he decided that in order to further his goal of becoming a stuntman he would enroll in Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Clown College. But it was his relentless attention whoring that ultimately led to working with Johnny Knoxville on a new stunt-based reality show called Jackass.

  • Join Deadair Dennis Maler as he dives into the comedic universe with Justin Schlegel, the dynamic co-host of Baltimore's top rock morning show, Justin, Scott & Spiegel. From goofy skateboarding escapades in Waldorf, MD to becoming a beloved voice on the airwaves πŸŽ™οΈ, Schlegel's journey is a comedy odyssey you won't want to miss.

    Discover how Schlegel's passion for entertainment led him from the Broadcasting Institute of Maryland to the spotlight of comedy clubs across the nation. With his razor-sharp wit and magnetic stage presence, he quickly became a standout, earning recognition at renowned comedy festivals along the way. πŸŽ€πŸ˜„

    But fate had a different plan for Schlegel when he caught the attention of 98 Rock hosts Kirk McEwen and Mickey Cucchiella. This unexpected encounter ignited a new chapter in his career, bringing him back to his broadcasting roots and paving the way for his own late-night program and ultimately, the coveted morning host spot. 🎧🌟

    ABOUT JUSTIN
    The Baltimore community knows Justin Schlegel’s voice very well, given he’s co-hosted the popular morning radio program, Justin, Scott & Spiegel, since the show’s inception in 2013. Viewers can tune in at 98 Rock to hear Schlegel from 5:30 in the morning to 10 AM.

    As a natural entertainer, Schlegel first explored the radio industry when he got into the Broadcasting Institute of Maryland. He was often at the top of his class and tutored other students, so it’s no surprise that upon completion of his studies, he was hired for stations WYCR and WHVR to perform board operation duties. Since he didn’t align with the company, after five years, he quit his job and went to a bar, where he found himself performing standup comedy. Suddenly, he performed 15 shows a month, hired an agent, was touring nationally, and even made it into the prestigious comedy festival, Just For Laughs, in Montreal.

    One night, he was approached after a comedy set by 98 Rock hosts, Kirk McEwen and Mickey Cucchiella, and they asked him to feature on their show. He impressed the station, returned to his broadcasting roots, and spent years recurring all over 98 Rock before he was offered his own late night program: The Justin Schlegel Fiasco. Eventually, he was moved up to afternoons, and then he received the coveted spot as morning host.
