In this hilarious and heartfelt episode, comedian and host Tom Kelly sits down with TV executive, home decor entrepreneur, and all-around renaissance man Brian Balthazar.

They dive into Brian’s wild career — from launching Kathie Lee & Hoda on the Today Show, to producing Human vs. Hamster on Max, to running a napkin and home goods brand out of his beautifully designed home in Jenkintown, Pennsylvania. Yes, it’s a real house. And yes, it might be nicer than Whoopi Goldberg’s.

Along the way, Tom and Brian talk about:

  • Reinventing your career in midlife

  • The chaos of the TV industry

  • Stand-up comedy gigs in hotel basements

  • Tom’s crush on SNL’s Sarah Sherman

  • How Brian once lived in a Plymouth Acclaim

  • Why the future of showbiz is napkins, iPhones, and owning your “back end”

This episode is a masterclass in creative pivots, self-reinvention, and staying funny through it all.
