Chris Gethard & Gary Gulman | Healing Through Humor, Destigmatizing Mental Illness

In one of our earliest episodes, Chris Gethard and Gary Gulman, two hilarious and talented comedians, actors, and authors, sat down with Marlon to discuss what life has been like since the release of their own critically acclaimed HBO Original Comedy Specials, each of which dives deeply into their personal mental health journeys. We're revisiting this conversation at a moment when the world could really use some funny people being honest, thoughtful, and human about what it actually takes to keep going.
