Kelly Carlin-McCall Says Her Dad Is Better than Jay’s

Jay and Kelly talk about what we got from our fathers, both good and bad. We also talk about the genius of George Carlin, living in the shadow of your parents, Crossroads School, Judd Apatow, taking care of you parents, the Emmy Awards, defining yourself, fans, wanting to make people laugh, and how pity sex is just fine.

Her solo show, A Carlin Home Companion, was expanded and then published as a memoir by St. Martin’s Press in 2015.
