When Marc first met Andy Blitz during the rise of the alt-comedy scene in New York City, Andy still thought show business was magical. And why wouldn’t he? As he tells Marc, he was a kid who grew up in the rough East Village of the 1970s and found himself dealing with depression and panic attacks in college. Andy talks about how his days at Luna Lounge paved the way for his job as a writer and sketch performer on Conan, and how that in turn opened doors for writing on shows like Human Giant, Review and Master of None.

Sometimes, you know, it all just comes together.
Have a good time.
Talk about the stuff.
Today on the show, I talked to Andy Blitz.
Blitz is a guy I have known for a long time.
He was, he was a regular at the Luna Lounge back in the day.
I kind of used to see him around.
