    Comedy Heroes #35 Lorne Michaels
    Feb 21 2025
    The Always Be Comedy team (OK, James and Tim) have launched a spin-off podcast: Always Be Comedy’s Comedy Heroes. Each Friday, they’ll celebrate the icons, trailblazers and, in some instances, overlooked geniuses who’ve shaped the world of humour. Today's hero is Lorne Michaels! SELECTED HIGHLIGHTS Mark Twain Prize 2004 Acceptance speech https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKuFcTydMAU Bloomberg interview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xa7TsuXd3q0 More on Comedy Heroes : We’ll uncover hidden gems, revisit classic routines, and share the sorts of behind-the-scenes anecdotes that you can pass off as your own knowledge at dinner parties (“Did you know that Julia Louis-Dreyfus is the daughter of a billionaire? You did? Ah, that’s sort of rained on my parade a little…”). What’s more, each episode kicks off with reader correspondence. Want to nominate a “Comedy Hero”? Please email theteam@alwaysbecomedy.com with the subject line “Comedy Heroes”. And we’ll also take a look at the comedy news from that week. If laughter is the best medicine, James and Tim should be doctors*! *This is just a gentle way to wrap up – James and Tim should NOT be doctors. Learn more about your ad choices.
