Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hello Puzzlers. Let's start with a quick puzzle, what do
these comedians have in common? Chris Rock, Jenny Slat, Billy Crystal.
The answer and more puzzling goodness after the break, Hello Puzzlers,
(00:22):
Welcome to the Puzzler Podcast. The Satisfying Coach in your
Law and Order soundtrack. Before the break, we asked the
question what do these comedians have in common? Chris Rock,
Jenny Slat, and Billy Crystal. I haven't even introduced our guests,
but I'll let him.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Answer minerals in geology.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Yeah, I was looking for last names that are really hard,
like above four on the Mo's hardness scale, so that
is they're probably other answers, but that's what I was
looking for. Our guest is also a stand up comedian,
though without a hard last name. He is a brilliant
writer and comedian who's one man show just for us
(01:00):
won both a Tony and an Emmy. I'm talking about
Alex Edmund. Welcome back, Alex for your final show.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Thanks for having me back, Bud so much fun.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
We are delighted. And this is a stand up comedy
themed show because I know, wait, you did your first
set at age for what was it. It was crazy.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
I was like sixteen or seventeen, but I was pretty
sucky for a really long time, so we don't even
count those.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Really, What was your first set about?
Speaker 3 (01:31):
I just remember I had one good joke about the Godfather,
which is I described the scene where Sonny corle Allen
was gunned down at the Tall booth in graphic detail,
and then I would go, if that's not the best
commercial for easy Pass I've ever seen, you know, very silly,
very very silly.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
That is good. That is good. All right, So this
is the format for today's puzzle. I'm going to ask
sort of a trivia question about the comedian, but I'm
going to give a wordplay hint for each because it
might be hard just with a trivia question. So I'll
(02:09):
just start and you can consider this an example. But
if you get it, you can count it towards your
total and collect all your money at the end. So
this comedian was a full Bright scholar in Vietnam. And
the hint is her first name is the same as
(02:30):
the last name of the greatest boxer.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Ever, the greatest boxer ever, well.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Self proclaimed greatest box Ali. Yes, so that's Ali Ali.
That is the first name of this comedian who is
she was on the show Beef was on the show? Thanks, exactly,
(03:00):
all right, so that will count as an example, and
now we'll go into the real ones. Are you ready? Yeah,
this comedian is fluent in six languages, at least according
to the Internet. We have to double check. Hint, his
last name is the same as a famous boat.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Builder, Trevor Noah, I know this about Trevor, and he
is fluent in six languages.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Nice that he's so good.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
He speaks well, shoot, he showed me how to say.
But it's the language. He's South African and so he
speaks all these different languages. And his father is Swiss,
so he just he's such a polyglot.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
He's so smart. Yes, all right.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
This comedian's first name was inspired by a Robin Williams
sitcom and no I'm going to give you yeah, you
know more. That's right. Well, the hint is her first
name is one letter different than the first name of Paatenkin,
(04:08):
the actor paatenken Ah.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Mindy Kaling exactly.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Mindy Kaling apparently named for her mom was a big
fan of Mork and Mindy.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Wow, that's really cool.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
So you're right. It could have been morek Kaling, but
it went the other way. Uh. By the way, if
those who have not seen the special, just for us,
The opening part of the monologue is about Robin Williams,
and it is a dulight.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
And I love him such a fan.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Did you get to meet him.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
A couple of times? He was very genteel. I let
him live his life mostly, but he was very kind
the few times I met him.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Did you ever work with him? Did you ever do?
Speaker 3 (04:51):
He passed away in twenty fourteen, just around the time
I was sort of breaking through God. But his daughter,
Zelda is really good friend of mine and a really really,
really really talented artist in her own right. So amazing
director of films.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Amazing.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
All right, we'll check that out, all right. This comedian
hired a double to attend the premiere of Spider Man
Homecoming in his place, and the hint is that his
namesake crossed the Alps with elephants.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Hannibal Burras exactly.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Hannibal Burris, you guys.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Is Hannibal in Spider Man Homecoming?
Speaker 1 (05:33):
I mean, I'm guessing or they just wanted him at
the premiere? Wait, I think I do remember him. Wasn't
he a teacher?
Speaker 2 (05:41):
And that really really funny. I don't remember, but yeah,
that's really funny.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
How about a comedian who used to work for the NSSA,
the intelligence agency. The hint is the first four letters
of her name spell out a wooden odd owned by
Harry Potter.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Wanda Sykes worked for the NSA.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Apparently she did, according to the other I mean she was.
She was sort of in charge of buying stuff. So
whether that was the radar equipment, she wasn't out there,
you know, cod.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
In the field reading her emails right exactly?
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Maybe she was, and she can't tell us like that,
you know, So who knows? Have you met Wanda Sykes?
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Yeah, she's lovely. I've only met her once or twice,
but she seems quite nice.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Comedy is a small world.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Yeah all right, well probably you know all of these too.
Then what about a stand up comic who also writes
comic books with Grass Waltz. Oh you didn't even Yeah,
I didn't even get to the credits. The credits are Skycake.
He wrote Skycake, and the clue was if people just
in case they didn't hear Alex. His first name is
(06:57):
the same as the last name of a general who
said lead me, follow me, or get out of my way. Allegedly,
I tell you, uh sorry, No, that's all right, that's
all right. We love the enthusiasm for the aha moment.
All right. Well, this one you might not know. This
is this I did not know. This is an interesting
fact to me. This comedian studied at the American Academy
(07:22):
of Dramatic Arts and was in a class in nineteen
forty eight with Grace Kelly. So that is not Dimitri Martin,
that is going backaways.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Nineteen forty eight, studied it at uh.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Oh, let me give you the hint. Let me give
you the hint. His last name rhymes with briny cucumbers,
Don Rickles, Don Rickles. That's right, I.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Didn't know he knew. Grace Kelly, that's fantastic.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
He is a classically trained insult comic. How about a
comedian who who is the cousin of the current Senate
Minority leader and her last name is one letter. He
knows it, but he's he's being very good and holding
his tongue. Thank you, Alex. Her last name is one letter.
(08:15):
Different than a type of person who makes secret plots
a secret Plotter. So that is now you're allowed to
answer Amy Schemerchem's right. This comedian's parents were immigrants who
owned a gay bookstore in San Francisco while she was
(08:36):
growing up. Okay good, I feel he might not even
know it. She shares a first name with the UK's
first female prime.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Minister, Margaret Show.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Margaret Show. That is right now. While we're speaking of
comedians who have been your big influences.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Mike Bigley, John Mulaney, Patton is one of them. Bill Cosby,
before he died, was really someone I revered. Jerry Jerry
Seinfeld early, Dave Chappelle was quite big for me. Chris
Rock was big for me, Louis c k and like
(09:22):
Sarah Silverman and Joan Rivers, Philips Stiller, you know, even
like Mom was Maybley. And there were a lot of
like storytellers who were I liked storytelling, comedy and uh
so there were quite a few like moth people and
you know this American life people that I liked, so yeah,
(09:43):
but from all places, and of course like Mel Brooks,
Mel was Mel was the biggest, I would say, Mel
and Mel was really really huge to get me into it.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Really was it the movies. Was it The History of
the World or the.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
It was this the two thousand year Old Man, and
my grandfather loved that. And also I was a big
sports fan, so Bill Simmons, the columnist and podcaster, was
a big part of my life. It was a big
influence somebody when I was starting out.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Right interesting now, I do remember you mentioned that Jerry
Seinfeld came to just for us, and everyone just was
looking at Jerry Seinfeld.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
I said, how did they ever shoot Abe Lincoln? Because
all I could think was like, it was so cool.
He's such a mench He's a really sweet guy.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
So they were, Yeah, they were just is if he laughs,
it's okay to laugh. I actually warmed up for Jerry
Seinfeld once. It was the worst job of my life.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
What where was this?
Speaker 1 (10:49):
It was at synagogue, Roodef Shalom Synagogue, and he agreed
to do a half hour set, but they needed to
fill it out. So I came out and everyone's like,
this guy is not Jerry Seinfeld, so can we get
through this as quickly as possible? And he he lives
(11:10):
like just very nearby, So he came in ten seconds
before his set and he said, thank you. Aj Jacobs
wasn't aj great, which was huge. He didn't see a
word I said, but he said that I was great,
so I always have that. Even if that's so funny,
it was very nice.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
All right.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Well, let's end with this five foot five inch comedian
once had aspirations to become a professional basketball player and
attended the same basketball camp as Kobe Bryant as a child,
So we loved the optimism. The hint is his last
name is a word for an adult male deer, and
(11:57):
it's also a homophone of an eternal organ that your
father has a lot to do with.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Kevin Kevin Hart. He's from the same part of Philadelphia.
That's right.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Oh my god, there you go.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Uh well, Alex, congratulations, you made it, You did it.

at home. This comedian. Lorne Michaels threatened to quit SNL
if this comedian was not allowed to perform, and they
had to implement a five second delay to that night's
(12:41):
recording justin in case he used naughty language. The hint
is his last name sounds like a word that means previous, previous. Okay,

On Purpose with Jay Shetty
I’m Jay Shetty host of On Purpose the worlds #1 Mental Health podcast and I’m so grateful you found us. I started this podcast 5 years ago to invite you into conversations and workshops that are designed to help make you happier, healthier and more healed. I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
