    Hey, Thanks for listening! Hit me back at this link, or find me on all socials @MrLennySchmidtThe live feed did't stream last week... This posted late, so, a twofer.... to make up for the issues the last two weeks.Magician Mark Bennick and comedian Jill KimmelGot to work with both of them on the Carnival Hawaii cruise. Great time hanging in Hawaii. I've known Mark for years. He been performing since he was kid. Lives in vegas and brings his several different magic shows all over the world. This was my fist time meeting and working with Jill. She's a Carnival favorite and I saw why instantly. Has a great show. Paints a picture, tells a story. More situation than jokey joke which is my favorite. It's easier to relate and connect. The whole week was a blast. We had fun recording the pod too. Enjoy.

    Total Schmidt Show (4TSS159) Nikki Carr

    Hey, Thanks for listening! Hit me back at this link, or find me on all socials @MrLennySchmidtMy first Virgin Voyages crusie was a blast. So much cool stuff available to the guests... really great experience, and I got to work with Nikki Carr.Mad respect and a huge fondness in ,my heart for comics like Nikki. She's an old pro. Been there, done that. She's seen it all and done it all. She was one of the finalists on "Last Comic Standing" Always a pleasure to watch a 30 year pro work. She's funny and personal on stage... all the things that matter for me as a comic. It was those kind of comics that brought me into this business. You see yourself in them. Nikki is great at it. She makes it look easy, which it's not. It takes years of writing ajnd performing to really get to that point. A good comic makes it look easy. Nikki is one for sure.More - Nikki CarrIG - @NikkiCarr

    Total Schmidt Show (4TSS158) Damon Sumner

    Hey, Thanks for listening! Hit me back at this link, or find me on all socials @MrLennySchmidtFirst time working with and meeting Damon. We actually had quite a bit in common. We both worked with kids. However, he was a real teacher. An educator. My Improv class was more of a simple after school class. This was a great pod. If you're a comic, you should check it out. We talk quite a bit about development and pushing your self to be better on stage at all times. Every show is an opportunity. Take something from every time you get on stage. Damon was also one of the best I've ever seen at "throw away" lines. Simple tags after the initial joke and tag, sometimes in the middle of the set up as well. You don't see them coming. Great work.Great pod.

    Total Schmidt Show (4TSS152) Supernova Duo

    Hey, Thanks for listening! Hit me back at this link, or find me on all socials @MrLennySchmidtI met Dany and Sebastian on a Celebrity ship. A married couple from Argentina who live together, travel together, work together, create together, write together, sing together.... That's a lot of together. They form "Supernova Duo" a beautiful and multi-layered duo. They have a unique style and great sound. They also followed the "Crew contract to Guest contract" path which is one of the hardest things to do. I'm always really impressed by acts that can do that. It takes alot of work and focus, something Dany ansd Sebastian have a lot of. They created a show titeld "Fleetwood Mac: Breaking the Chains", a show they started performing regularly this upcoming year (2026)I apologize fo the sound. It's not perfect. In my defense, I wasnt prepared to record a duo. Didn't have the right equipment. So I had to wing it at the last minute. It's worth it. This was one of the most rewarding pods I've ever done.

    Hey, Thanks for listening! Hit me back at this link, or find me on all socials @MrLennySchmidtSeason four of 'Total Schmidt Show" starts off where season three ended, with the other half of "Radio Recall"Recorded a few weeks earlier. I ran into Aaron on the Celebrity Silhouette. He and Jenna Rubaii make up the show "Radio Recall" which I mistakenly call a band in the intro. Let's ignore that mistake. OK? I'm not rerecording the intro.Aaron was the lead in "Jesus Christ Superstar" where he met Jenna. They then went on to create "Radio Recall." He has an amazing, powerful voice. he's a seasoned performer who has done it all. A fantastic talent that was great to watch and talk too. Always a pleasure to talk to a professional live performer who has crafted multiple shows and layers to what they do. It should be inspiring to all live performers.Check out the full video pod by becoming a subscriber to www.LennySchmidt.com at the link below.https://lennyschmidt.com/?msopen=/content/total-schmidt-show-4tss150-aaron-lavigne/popup

    Hey, Thanks for listening! Hit me back at this link, or find me on all socials @MrLennySchmidtRan into Jenna on the Celebrity Silhouette in December. She performs in duo called "Radio recall" with Aaron Lavigne. The two of them are guest entertainers that travel over the world to show ships pretty much everything. It's a show remembering some of the rock and roll songs that they grew up listening to and were influenced by. They also do a couple songs from a production of "Jesus Christ Superstar" they toured with. Both of them are amazing performers.  They've only been doing this a year. They're fantastic. They were great together. I saw them a couple of times. Jenna does a really cool arrangement of "The Grinch." Which we talk about in detail. She has a video for the Grinch is really amazing. It's great to see you can see it in the below video as well. Jenny was an amazing talent a great chat. I suggest you check her out everywhere.

    Total Schmidt Show (3TSS148) Titou - Magician

    Hey, Thanks for listening! Hit me back at this link, or find me on all socials @MrLennySchmidtListen to episode 3TSS148 closley. Titou is either from Kentucky or France. I can't figure it out. I'm kidding. 100% from France. Lives in Vegas. Much like many performers (and myself pretty soon) Titou's show is great. Magician, great with the crowd. Can be extremely sarcastic. Wlaks that line perfectly. It's really fun to watch. It takes a talented and disciplined live perfrormer to walk that "edge" line at a "Family-Friendly" show. Titou doezs just that. Thats' one of my favorite acts to watch. Delicate balance. Kids, adults, grandparents all laughing at once. He was fun to watch. Great to chat with. Even more fun to hang with. I love my job man.

    Total Schmidt Show (3TSS146) Tommy Green

    Hey, Thanks for listening! Hit me back at this link, or find me on all socials @MrLennySchmidtTommy Green from Canada. A Guest Entertainer I ran into on the Celebrity Apex. He's a showman. He sings, he's funny, he "dances", tell stories.... A great show an a great guy. We actually met years ago on a Carnival ship. He's one of those acts that was a soloist, worked his as off and developed his own show, started working, the rest is history. He's really a great guy. One of the most positive guys I've run in to which is is saying something cause I've had BT on this show twice. With all the travel, shows, balancing of personal lives... it's easy to get tired, discouraged or burned out. Staying present and appreciating where you are, embracing who you are with, those things help keep an entertainers head level. I know that. So does Tommy.Great Pod.

    Hey, Thanks for listening! Hit me back at this link, or find me on all socials @MrLennySchmidtComedy Comin' at 'cha!!.Johns a Chicago holiday tradition. Born and raised in the Chicago area, John has been coming home to play Zanies every Thanksgiving for the last forty years. Johns one of those comics everybody from Chicago knows. Dozens of acts have been influenced by him and hit the stage themselves. From "Star Search" to his own sitcom "The Good Life" John has covered some ground. I've worked with him on and of ships dozens of times over the years. Both Chicago Bears and White Sox fans... John and I have become good friends over the years. In fact I was standing in his living room the last time the Bears were in the Superbowl. I'll never forget Devon Hester running the opening kick back. One of the happiest moments of my life... followed by the Rex Grossman led Bears muddling through to an ugly loss to Peyton Manning and the Colts. Yet, we're still friends.

    Hey, Thanks for listening! Hit me back at this link, or find me on all socials @MrLennySchmidtBack to Vegas, sort of... Comedian Luca Ferro. From Chicago, Bridgeport... Hey, I'm from there!! Similar upbringing. We both had parents that used chores as punishment.. brought back some memories. We actually met at Zanies in Chicago a while ago. We worked together at Brad Garretts in Las Vegas. Funny dude. Got to hang pretty much the whole week. He lives in NY now. Great talk about stand-up. Working the crowd, reading the room, expectations, and the mental pre-show prep. I talk a lot about younger comics. How their motivation and commitment isn't what it used to be when I was younger. Luca is NOT that guy. He works at it. Love to see a younger comic really make the effort to be a good comic. Not just mail it in and depend on clicks. Gives me hope about the future of stand-up. God I'm old. i sound like Yoda."Good comic, he is..."

    Hey, Thanks for listening! Hit me back at this link, or find me on all socials @MrLennySchmidtTotal Schmidt Show this week with Allison Weber. My last Alaska of the year on the NCL Joy and I was lucky enough to work with my friend Allison Weber. She is awesome. I remeber working with her ion her very first ship. She was an opener back then. Not anymore. Allison's a solid headliner. Great shows with her all week. She does jokes, music, parodies, adult shows.... When I first worked with her she had lots of R rated stuff... not much PG. She needed to get alot more to stay on the cruise ship market, and she did. Allison has put together a great library of material. She was excellent all week. I watched all her shows. I usually don't do that. It was a blast.Sidenote: She is the nicest/sweetest person inh the world. Walking around on the ship she stops and says Hi to everyone. It's unbelievable. Always a smile and a chat. Can say Hi in 38 languages. So positive. It's, and I mean this in the nicest, respectful way.... it's a lot. But I love her so.

    Hey, Thanks for listening! Hit me back at this link, or find me on all socials @MrLennySchmidtI normally don't like to say bad things about a guest, but this week I make an exception.

Great guy, lot of fun, great talk.... I got over the Packer thing. Shout out to Ben Maggle. I mention him right upfront. Ben (also Packer fan) saw Rob (Packer fan) at a club in Wisconsin (Packer fans) and suggested I have him on. Good call Ben. Thanks.I will never say Packer fan again.

    Hey, Thanks for listening! Hit me back at this link, or find me on all socials @MrLennySchmidtTotal Schmidt Show has Jason Stuart this week. First, he rightfully called me out on wearing a tank top during recording. My apologies. I feel shame.Jason Stuart is an Executive Producer, Actor, Writer, Director, filmmaker..... There's really dozens of words and titles jason could have. I love talking to artists who find a way to create themselves. Build a career against the odds. Show business is always that. Pretty much you against everyone to succeed. Jason and I talk about that. From coming out as a gay comedian/performer, to owning it all, taking control of his own career, doing his own thing and not "waiting for the permission to create." He's an inspiring artist to talk too.

Brought his Elton John tribute here. I caught some of it online (links below) This episode is over an hour, and I lost 35 minutes of footage so it could have been longer. Man, it was s great talk. He's got some pretty remarkable stories. We recroded this yet again at the "Alaskan Bar" in the Alaskan Hotel" 167 South Franklin in Juneau. Great bar I've mentioned quite a few times. I record there as much as possible. The sound is a little wonky. Had a bit of a mixing issue, I am (of course) blaming my tech team at Westview Middle School. More Jason:Full 3TSS133 Video Website - https://www.thejasono.com/IG - https://www.instagram.com/thejasono/Your Welcome.

He's worked on TV, film, in Vegas. It's not just something he does, he's turned himself in to a business and a brand. I really love talking to seasoned professionals that take entertainment seriously. He knows it's a business and knows how to work it. So much so that he has stepped uop to help others take their careers to another level. He helped develop Askmoe.app. A program that other performers can utilize. Something to help answer every question from "How much do I charge?' or "What do I need to put in a contract to protect myself?" Steps that can be quite challenging to any entertainer. Craig is a great talent, great guy, and this was a great podcast. You be the judge.More Craig:WS - https://www.almosteltonjohn.com/IG - https://www.instagram.com/craiguhmeyer/You're Welcome.

    Total Schmidt Show (3TSS114) Sam Holder

    Hey, Thanks for listening! Hit me back at this link, or find me on all socials @MrLennySchmidtAll the way from Vegas, Baby!!Did a crossing with Sam Holder.... who was on board with "December '63", a Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons tribute show. This is a shorter episode because, well, we we're having trouble finding a good place to sit down and record. However, we got into alot. Sam is a smart cat and a seasoned professional. Got to get in and breakdown a lot of what going on in the music biz these days. He really knows his stuff. It was great to talk to him. Wish we had more time. Sam also has three of his own Guest Entertainer shows. "Sam sings the Sam's" is a great hook. Sam spends more time in Vegas than on the sea. We discuss the cool supportive part of the Vegas scene. Has his hands in quite a few shows. Even nominated for stage awards. He's probably to good for this show. Either way, I suggest you go see him. "Sing song / Take paycheck"Also, please note the drastic improvement in sound quality. You're Welcome.So much more Sam:IG - ttps://www.instagram.com/sam74holder/You're Welcome.
