Chris Rock on Here’s the Thing
Chris Rock and Alec talk about the play, the movie business and Rock’s career in stand-up.
Alec asks Rock about how the people in his life respond to his stand-up — which as Alec says, can "filet them on stage." "I’m like a lawyer," says Rock; "it would all hold up in court." That said, he admits that everybody is uncomfortable.

Fred Armisen on Here’s the Thing
This week, Alec talks with Fred Armisen. Armisen has been a punk rock drummer, currently he’s a cast member on Saturday Night Live and is also the co-creator and co-star of IFC’s Portlandia. Armisen has always been ambitious; when he was a drummer, he recalls, he always "wanted much more."
Long ago, Armisen played drums with the Blue Man Group in Chicago and he tells Alec he learned a lot: about "simplicity," "reinvention" and "that audiences want to be entertained." Armisen admits that he’s always working; when SNL is on hiatus, he’s producing Portlandia. But he still dreams about what might come next: "I want to invent a type of entertainment that is really blurry between comedy and something else. That doesn’t have a name yet…another level of fooling people as opposed to just doing a character. Something a little bigger than that."

Here’s the Thing with David Letterman
This week on Here’s The Thing, Alec talks with late-night legend David Letterman. Letterman describes his early years on TV in Indiana; his decision to try radio despite a boss who said “You will never be heard of again”; and his eventual journey to LA where after 3 years at comedy clubs he found himself on The Tonight Show. As Letterman says, "that’s not supposed to happen."
Letterman’s been doing the Late Show for 30 years and he says for a long time he “just didn’t do anything else.” Things have changed now, he tells Alec; he has “no patience for meetings” and he avoids making decisions on the show. Dave is also taking time to explore the world with his 8-year old son: “when you have a child you do things you never thought you would do, and it’s fun.”
