Beginnings


We all know the stories of how creative people get into the business of creating for a living, but how did they start using their imaginations in the first place? On the Beginnings podcast, writer and performer Andy Beckerman asks well-known and up-and-coming comedians, musicians, writers and artists about their earliest creative acts and about other formative childhood experiences.

On today's show I talk to comedian Jake Fogelnest. Jake's career in entertainment started at the age of 14 when his public access show Squirt TV became a phenomenon, eventually making the leap to MTV. While Jake has regularly worked since then - doing things like writing for Best Week Ever and contributing jokes to SNL's Weekend Update - it's only recently that his career has truly bloomed: writing for places and shows like Funny or Die and Billy on the Street, as well as the new Hulu series Difficult People and the new Netflix series Wet Hot American Summer.
