Mike Poole was a serious child.

We at @NoSuggestionpod have been hoping for so long to snag this guest, and this week we finally got the great and elusive, actor, television writer, Jersey boy, and sketch and improv comedian, Mike Poole (@thisismikepoole) on the show! Co-host Aston Hollins (@astonhollins) and I got to get to learn some of the lore behind Mike on this episode and it was so fun. We chatted about not being a junior, playing lacrosse at a majority black South Jersey high school, loving snarky VH1 shows growing up, improv being the pick up basketball of comedy, writing for The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, and The Amber Ruffin Show , and more! We also get into some terrific, hilarious improv scenes with Mike, including a scene about a high-school cool kid who wants more out of life. It was a thrill to have Mike on, he's always been one of the most fascinating and unforgettable improvisors in the New York improv scene to me, we really loved getting to know him more. We know you will too! Dig into this episode!
