The road to becoming a professional stand-up comedian is hard. You’ve got to put in a lot of stage time to get really good, and odds are you’re gonna do a terrible show – probably many! So the good folks at Late Night With Jimmy Fallon decided to make an interview web series about it. Here are 8 episodes of The Worst I Ever Bombed:
John Oliver
How do you smash a bottle politely?
Mike Birbiglia
Cancer kills (an audience’s good time).
Colin Quinn
Hey, I have relatives in Tonawanda. Maybe my family members booed him?
Taran Killam
Sounds like he had 20% of the crowd on his side. 1 out of 5 ain’t bad!
Chris Hardwick
I pity the fool who bombs in front of his family and girlfriend.
Amy Schumer
What is the sound of 5000 people not laughing at your jokes? I imagine a lot of coughing and “you suck”s.
Cedric The Entertainer
Bomb Cedric! Bomb Cedric! Bomb!
Judd Apatow
Meta-bomb!
