IKE BARINHOLTZ: Passing the Crazy Test, Post-MadTV Dry Spell & Major Jeopardy Regrets

Ike Barinholtz (The Mindy Project, Blockers) joins us this week to share his experience going from an upbringing in a comedy heavy household to landing a big break on MadTV to the reality check he received after his time on the series was over. Ike discusses passing the ‘crazy test’ with his writing and his initial fears of joining the Mindy Project in the writers room alone. We also talk about his dad’s claim to fame in Jury Duty, his experience winning celebrity Jeopardy, and what NOT to do in improv.
