Inspired at age 12 by a live comedy performance by Rodney Dangerfield Mark knew his destiny was to be a comedian.

Mark appeared many times on both The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and Late Night with David Letterman. He has had both HBO and Showtime specials and has been the featured act at the Montreal Comedy Festival. He has written for and guest-starred on Mad About You, as well as appearing on Empty Nest and serving as a writer on The Roseanne Show.

My guest, Mark Schiff and I discuss:

Mark's love of Detroit and performing at Mark Ridley's Comedy Castle
Being with Tim Allen at the Comedy Castle after Tim's release from jail and Mark shares some great road stories with Tim
Mark's new book: Why Not? Lessons on Comedy, Courage, and Chutzpah
Mark's podcast: You Don't Know Schiff!
Great road stories with Jerry Seinfeld
Mark answers the universal question: If someone offers you a car what should you say?
That time Bob Dylan hung out at Mark's house
Paul Reiser and Gilbert Gottfried - Mark shares some amazing stories
The day Mark knew he was destined to be a comedian and how he met Rodney Dangerfield later in his career (and of course some amazing Rodney stories)

Need TV binge suggestions? You've come to the right place. We've got you covered.

In this bonus episode we discuss a few great binge suggestions:

Anchorman: Wakeup Ron Burgundy (from live ep 78)
The Champion (from live ep 89)
Piranha 3D (from live ep 87)

Crossing the Streams originated on this podcast in episodes 8 and 15. My idea was to record friends freely discussing TV shows (and movies) they binge on one of the many, many streaming services we all subscribe to.

Jeff Dwoskin is joined by Howard Rosner, Ron Lippitt, Bob Philips, and Sal Demilio are your co-hosts and we're joined weekly by special guests.

The assignment? We each come to the show with a TV binge suggestion. It might be a series, movie, or documentary but we'll give you the scoop so you can decide for yourself whether or not to dive in.

Each segment is pulled from a show and shared as is in all its LIVE goodness.

Join us LIVE every Wednesday at 9:30 PM ET / 8:30 PM CT
