  • NYC Restaurants Have No Air Conditioning

    NYC Restaurants Have No Air Conditioning
    Jul 22 2025
    Oh god, it's true. I went into 4 different, maybe 5 different restaurants/coffee shops this week and none of them had air. Now that I think about it, even a Walgreens downtown had fans blowing. WTF!! Ironically, going from extreme heat to extreme cold did get me sick so, I guess I'll just have to move. This week, going to see Sam Morril and Rachel Feinstein in Red Bank with the Mayor of Red Bank of course AND a big Comedy Cellar birthday party. Also, seeing the off broadway (smash, I guess), Ginger Twinsies (based on The Parent Trap).

    John Lennon & Juskow's Mom
    Jul 15 2025
    It was the 80's -- and supermodels were taking chances on Billy Joel looking kids like myself. This is one of those stories. Plus, my mom and new John Lennon gossip that spread through the neighborhood.

  • Explaining the Stand-Up Comedy Timeline

    Explaining the Stand-Up Comedy Timeline
    Jul 8 2025
    I just found out that one of my young stand-comedy friends has been doing stand-up for 13 years. I thought she had been doing it for possibly 5. This changes everything which led me discuss where you should be in stand-up comedy timeline and why you should give up if you haven't met the right friends yet. It's brutal truth time. AND, another soaking wet feet day. Ugh.

  • The No Cole Slaw Postulate

    The No Cole Slaw Postulate
    Jul 1 2025
    This week we get to meet "Hacks" Jean Smart and see her incredible performance in a one woman show on Broadway. Hey, she's alright. After that we go where all the elite Broadway crowd goes as the Roastmaster and me take advantage of his coming to Broadway. After that it's another memorial for that awful club owner, but. . . it's always podcast gold so I keep going. This time was no exception as the kosher restaurant luncheon after the memorial was out of cole slaw. A jewish deli out of cole slaw on a Sunday morning. How is the president not involved!!??? Worst deli ever (said like comic book guy). AND, the one of the most important emails of my later career and I didn't get it because I switched phones that day. I mean -- that's just epic. This is a fun episode.

  • It's Not Just The Eye of the Tiger

    It's Not Just The Eye of the Tiger
    Jun 24 2025
    Today, besides a little housekeeping, we are discussing the band Survivor. I know, why? Well, turns out their creator Jim Peterik is quite an interesting guy and has written a bunch of hits you didn't realize - which, of course, is my favorite thing to teach -- as a professor. Be prepared to be not completely amazed but more like, oh wow - I didn't know that. Which I'm good with 😀

  • The Most Famous Person in the Room

    The Most Famous Person in the Room
    Jun 17 2025
    Today on the show we attend a memorial service for one of the most disliked men in comedy, Al Martin. It's true. He had alot of haters BUT he outlasted most of the comedy clubs in New York City AND, most importantly, it turned out I was the most famous person to attend (after Marina Franklin left for the bathroom) 😉. Then I got a new muffler for my car. I mean, what a podcast! 😄

  • His Only Show of the Year

    His Only Show of the Year
    Jun 10 2025
    Hello all. Today on a most exciting episode of Juskow in the City we talk about the Big Event at the Comedy Cellar that went spectacularly well (although you'd never know from the video of me doing comedy - which you can see if you're on patreon 😅). But everything the Comedy Cellar did to sabotage the show backfired and everyone was happy including the audience, the comics and the wait staff - and probably the Comedy Cellar eventually. Then the next night I had the exact opposite experience in Crooklyn. The Classic juxtaposition - today on Juskow in the City.

    "Like, the Bar Exam's hard!?"
    Jun 3 2025
    Welcome back everyone and I hope you all had a great holiday weekend. So this week I had an old school weekday party on Tuesday and Thursday. Tuesday was comedians day as I watched the New York Knicks lose to the Indiana Pacers at comedian Sam Morril's apartment with guest stars Chris DeStefano, Mike Veccione, Todd Barry and Rachel Feinstein. And Thursday was musician day as we had a lovely shin dig down on Wall Street to celebrate musician Colin Smith's surprise birthday party. If you subscribe to Patreon you'll be able to see and hear it. 😀 It was awesome.
