Snap Impression

It's Couples Week on Snap Impression, and we're graced with the presence of real life comedy couple Sue Smith and Austin Rodrigues. Sue was named one of the 10 funniest women in New York by Time Out NY, is a performer at UCB and has been a panelist on a number of VH1 shows including Best Week Ever. She also just released her first comedy album Slutty Pretzel! Austin is a writer for a UCB house sketch team, hosts the B.Y.O.T. show at UCB East and is a contributor to Funny or Die. Together, on this week's episode, they join Andy and Ramsey on a hobo trip on a tramp train. Just imagine all the cans of beans they'll encounter on their travels!

Oh man (and I'm not just being homophonic with Middle Eastern country Oman), but we have a weird and fun episode in store for you today. Not only are we joined by the stars of MTV's Guy Code and Joking Off Matteo Lane and David Ebert, but we're also joined by a star of MTV's Girl Code Matteo Lane and an actor on a house UCB sketch team David Ebert. But also, we find out that Andy and Ramsey also starred in some similar stuff to our guests also! Also, my son Daniel was recently arraigned on B&E charges, but Annie and I are keeping our fingers crossed that the charges don't stick. Daniel's a good boy!

Zorkulon, pals! This episode is all killer and no Killers. That's our promise, this episode feature no mention of the rock band The Killers and absolutely none of their music. However, what it does feature are two amazing improvisors Alex French and Molly Thomas, who perform together at UCB. Alex is a teacher at UCB as well as a performer on Harold Night, and Molly not only performs with Alex, but is also an actor, having recently appeared off-Broadway in Beau Willimon's play "Breathing Time". And boy oh boy, not only are they a blast on the show, but they're also here to help Ramsey out with some dumb-ass problem he's gotten himself into.

Zanzibar! Andy may have a new hit single out, but that doesn't mean he's too important to still co-host the show (even if he thinks he is). While Andy and Ramsey talk about his new song, they're also joined on the show by two fantastic guests for some SMOKIN' impression action: Veronica Osorio and Georgie Aldaco! Veronica is an actor and improvisor who performs at UCB LA a ton, and can also be seen in the upcoming Coen Brothers film Hail, Caesar! Georgie is a sketch teacher and writer for UCB NY, a contributor to Funny or Die, and a member of the sketch group Former Business Partners. And don't forget to say hi to our newest pal Juicer!

Criminy Crackers this was fun! Our second live episode, but our first taped at the wonderful UCB East Theatre. We recorded this on June 30th 2015, and oh boy what a fun time we had! Not only did we have a great guest judge, Barb Boot, a salad bar employee from the Jackson Zoo, but we had four fantastic contestants: SNL Weekend Update writer Josh Patten, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt writer Meredith Scardino, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver writer Josh Gondelman and host of VH1's The 20 Shannon Coffey! Fudge yeah! Check out the Snap Impression website and follow us on Twitter!

Ramsey don't look so hot because he's dying from some disease or something, but regardless, we can still pull off a fun ep, even if he is shuffling off this mortal coil as we speak. And to distract us from Ramsey's debilitating disease, we have two wonderful people from the world of New York sketch comedy: Ed Larson and Julie Rosing. Ed is a member of the powerhouse group Murderfist, who have monthly shows at the PIT. He is also part of the podcast The Roundtable of Gentlemen on Cave Comedy Radio! Julie works for BuzzFeed, is on a house team at the PIT, and her sketch group Buzz Off, Lucile, just finished a run of their show at UCB. Uh-oh...Ramsey is starting to ascend...we better start the show... Check out the Snap Impression website and follow us on Twitter!

Let's do it, folks. And by "do it", I mean "completely change the format of Snap Impression for this very special Season 2 finale". If Marc Maron can get the President for his interview podcast, then maybe an impression-based gameshow is not what we should be doing. So taking a page from Maron's book, we decided to invite two of the best improvisors the UCB has to offer, Will and Kevin Hines, on the show to work out some bad blood that's between us, and I guess while they're here, we'll do some impressions. Will is an actor and improvisor living in LA; he performs at the UCB theatre out there and you've seen him on Inside Amy Schumer, Brooklyn 99, Community and more. Kevin is an actor and improvisor who performs every Saturday night at the UCB theatre in NY, and is also the Associate Academic Supervisor in charge of the New York training program!

Gadzooks! Ramsey may be trying some odd remedies in order to stay awake so he can binge-watch all of Netflix's Daredevil, but his weird BS won't take away from the wonderful time we have with our guests Lance Rubin and Ray Muñoz of The Lance and Ray Show! Independently, Lance is an actor and the author of the fantastic YA novel Denton Little's Deatdate. Ray is a writer and improvisor and a house performer at the People's Improv Theater on the team Lightning Round. They are rad humans and super-funny performers. And now you can hear them compete to the DEATH! (not really) Check out the Snap Impression website and follow us on Twitter!

Zip zap zop! Welcome to our first live episode, taped on May 18th at Union Hall in Brooklyn. And while we may be live, shenanigans still abound on the show, as Union Hall has broken out in an ant infestation, which bar manager OJ Sampson tells us about in detail. But to distract us from the bugs we have a wonderful match-up featuring Eliot Glazer (Broad City, writer for Younger), Beth Hoyt (BethinShow), Jacqueline Novak (Quality Notions), and former guest Ben Rameaka (Alpha House, Wolf of Wall Street, house performer at UCB) making a return appearance!  Check out the Snap Impression website and follow us on Twitter!

Hold onto your Amy Sherman-Palladino brand socks everyone because we're taping today's episode in the real Stars Hollow, where Gilmore Girls was set! Of course, the real place is a craphole called Ratss Hollow, but that won't stop our amazing guests Cirocco Dunlap and Ben Warheit from giving it their all! Cirocco was a writer for Jimmy Fallon, contributes to McSweeney's and The New Yorker, and has acted in films like James and the Giant Peach! Ben is a writer for Late Night with Seth Meyers as well as the Hulu series The Awesomes, and created the great series Waco Valley for Above Average! And while the town we're taping the show in is super-dangerous, the only thing that's truly killer is our guests' impressions! Check out the Snap Impression website and follow us on Twitter!

We introduced a game a few episodes ago called "Variety Roulette" that we could play with comedians when there wasn't a challenger, so on today's ep we play a couple rounds with the fantastic stand-up Mary Mack! Mary was in town to do some shows a few weeks ago, and came over to Ramsey's place one afternoon to record. Mary splits her time between LA and Minneapolis and was a contestant on Last Comic Standing and the Andy Kaufman Awards. She performed at  Just for Laughs too, and was the voice of Dylan on season one of Golan the Insatiable! And today's ep. even features a cameo by Mary's husband, stand-up Tim Harmston!

Goddammit! What a great frakking time we had with comedians and dancers and actors Sunita Mani and Tallie Medel of the incredible Cocoon Central Dance Team. You've seen Sunita in everything from Broad City to the "Turn Down for What" video and Tallie in shows like Inside Amy Schumer and films like The Unspeakable Act and Joy Kevin. Along with Eleanore Pienta, Tallie and Sunita are also Cocoon Central Dance Team, an amazing absurd dance troupe who have performed everywhere from BAM to Caroline's to MoMA's PS1. Also, Ramsey gets some spam e-mail that we have to deal with! Check out the Snap Impression website and follow us on Twitter!

You know that movie "Let's Be Cops"? Well, Ramsey and Andy take it to heart this week and become cops! (And with better results than when they took "Eyes Wide Shut" to heart!) And joining them on a stakeout are the wonderful Jons: Jon Bershad and Jon Marballi! Jonny B is a writer on a UCB house sketch team and performer on one of their house improv teams, and besides that contributes to Above Average, Funny or Die, and McSweeney's. Jonny M was an actor and performer at UCB NY before moving to Los Angeles where he became a house performer at UCB LA! He was part of the 2015 CBS Diversity Showcase and has appeared on everything from Broad City to Inside Amy Schumer to Brooklyn 99! Also, in real life, 80% of cops are garbage!

Yowza! Ramsey and I are taping today's episode from the "office" of our new job. Why is "office" in quotes like that? You'll have to listen to today's episode to find out the exciting answer to that INSANE question! Oh! Also, we have some great guests today: James Dwyer and Morgan Phillips! James is an actor, and a performer on the UCB house team The Law Firm, and Morgan is performer at UCB as well, on the improv team Lisa From School, and he also started the 1000 Scenes Project!

Something's in the air, folks, and it must be the feeling of agony 'cause we're taping today's episode on location at SeaWorld in sunny Orlando, FL. Florida, the land where nothing fucked-up ever happens! And to join us on this episode, we've got the sensational sketch duo Sarah and Allie AKA Sarah Burton and Allie Kokesh. Besides making sketches together and being selected to be part of the NBC 2014 Late Night Writers Workshop, the two also do many things apart! Allie is a writer for a UCB sketch team and their late night show Night Late. Sarah is a writer and performer on UCB house teams and also writes for their show Everyone's Favorite Game Show! and also writes for Buzzfeed! I guess we'll just play a normal game of Snap Impression with these guys instead of looking behind these doors the SeaWorld people didn't want us to look behind...

Well, if it ain't more tomfoolery when Ramsey makes everyone think they're actually robots! But to help us cut through the confusion and do some killer impressions of Nixons and Noltes, we're joined by The Chris Gethard Show's own Bethany Hall and Murf Meyer! In addition to TCGS, you might know Bethany as one of the silent writers of "TGS with Tracy Jordan" on 30 Rock. Murf also co-hosts the podcast Ménage à Trois Radio with his wife (and former Snap Impression contestant) Diana Kolsky and is a house performer at UCB. Beep boop*, people! (*that's robot for "buckle your fuckin' pants, folks - it's gonna be a wild ride!") Check out the Snap Impression website and follow us on Twitter!

Strap on your Mi.Mu gloves folks, because oh boy what fun times are in store for you! More shocking news for Ramsey this week, but luckily we've got two great guests to temper just how MIND-BLOWING this news is to Ramsey's fragile psyche. And those guests? Comedians Sam Taggart and Mary Houlihan! Sam and Mary host the fantastic live show CUBE and are part of the video-making group MEAT. In addition, Mary co-created the touring theater show Cartoon Monsoon. And they do tons of other stuff too! Will their sweet impressions be enough to soothe Ramsey's shattered existence?

Moments before taping today's episode Ramsey received some SHOCKING news, but will he let that affect his hosting duties? You bet he will! And too bad because we've got two wonderful contestants today, Anna Roisman and Caroline Cotter! Anna is an actor, comedian and host of the show "You Probably Think This Song Is About You: A Storytelling & Song Parody Show". Caroline is a writer and performer on both improv and sketch teams at UCB. Also, both of them are 2/3 of the webseries Beauty Shots! And one of them is the realtive of a famous murderer! Find out which one on this week's stunning episode! Check out the Snap Impression website and follow us on Twitter!

Uh-oh! Our guests canceled on us this week, but instead of saying "Frak it!" we decided to put together a special episode with wonderful stand-up and Broad City writer (and Andy's fiancee) Naomi Ekperigin! Not only will you learn about the small town Ramsey grew up in on this episode, but you'll also hear a brand new impression game called Variety Roulette, where we flip through issues of the industry rag Variety and randomly pick celebrities for each other to do impressions of. It's a very goofy, silly, special episode and it's coming straight from our hearts into yours! Check out the Snap Impression website and follow us on Twitter!

Whelp! Andy done did it. He staged a revolution in Papua New Guinea and is now a dictator. Whopsie-doodle! And while everyone Andy screwed over in his quest to become the next Stalin is clamoring loudly outside the gates of his palace, inside Andy, Ramsey and this week's contestants sit doin' impreshies! And who are those contestants? Why the effervescent John Zachary Townsend and Moujan Zolfaghari! JZT and Moujan are both members of the UCB sketch team Lover, and in addition, Moujan is a director and producer for the theatre's video teams, and JZT has co-written two sequels to Woody Allen's Annie Hall. Will someone win the game before Andy's enemies overthrow him? Find out on this week's harrowing episode! Check out the Snap Impression website and follow us on Twitter!
