in January of 2010, two novice comedians - Andy and Mark -
started Beginnings as a way to cut through the layers of
mythos that surrounded having a career in entertainment. How does
one *actually* have a career in comedy? What are the realities
about getting into show business? Three years and 106 episodes
later, Beginnings has shed its original intent and morphed
into a Freudian talk show that examines where creative people come
from and what their childhoods were like.
On today's episode, Mark and Andy look back over the first 100
episodes and pick out some of their favorite moments with guests
such as Daily Show-writer Elliott Kalan, Pete Holmes, Matt
Besser, Ian Roberts, Tom Scharpling, Gabrielle Bell, Ethan Berlin
(Totally Biased, Bunk), John Lee (Wonder
Showzen), Devin Clark (Ugly Americans), Jesse
Moynihan (Adventure Time), David Rees, and Jon Glaser. As
Mark is also departing the show, it's also a chance to say good-bye
to him and revel in melancholy!
