- Marc Maron takes CBS News' Anthony Mason through his writing process for his first HBO comedy special, “From Bleak to Dark,” which covers topics like his difficult relationship with his father and the unexpected death of his girlfriend, director Lynn Shelton. Maron tells Mason about processing his grief, and taking risks in his standup and on his podcast, “WTF.”
The thing I have always appreciated Marc for is his ability to bring out the neuroticism that most people have in their heads out into the world in a sincere and honest way.
The battle between Marc's genuine humility and his real neurotic demons (paranoia, addiction, impatience, etc) is what makes his show continually engaging and relatable. Plus, that his show is very artfully edited and produced by his creative partner Brendan McDonald sets it apart from 99% of similar personality-hosted podcasts.
The more I learn about Marc's journey the more I understand why I relate to his brand of humor so well. I've been listening to his podcasts for years, longer than I knew him as a comic. I'm so happy that he is really experiencing the recognition that he deserves. Seemingly at just the right time. Congrats Marc!
Such a brilliant comic and actor… He’s really put in work on himself & shares what he’s learned with others… He’s not for everyone, but he’s unapologetically who he is! ⭐️
Marc has this unique ability to role model the experience and life of many men.
The inability to fully show emotions yet at times he breaks through and blossoms despite a conditioned life to hold back.
I barely know him and in many life choices we are very different yet I feel a deep connection to him and believe if we were neighbors we’d hang out in the garage at the workbench on a regular basis and occasionally talk but at the same time enjoy every moment.
Can Marc Maron take the Andy Rooney role for 60 Minutes? Just asking for a friend.
He is so decent. He just tries and tries and practices emotional honesty and that’s enough.
Loved and followed his career since the 90s... What a fantastic writer, comic, actor and human. Great interview, Anthony Mason!
Being here now. Life as it can be. Thank you Marc.
Growing up in the 90’s as a big fan of stand up comedy, I knew who Marc was and he has been one of my favorite comedians since then.
Marc is a philosopher comic of the most exalted kind: incisive, truthful, compassionate, mature.
and love how they did part of the interview at the Comedy Store 🤩
Such a good interview. sensitive and raw. Thank you both.
What an honest conversation about some of the most difficult things we go through in life. Marc is brilliant.
Been a fan since “Morning Sedition” and saw Marc several times years ago when he was going through bad times. It’s been great watching his well deserved steady success over the years. Congrats Marc, glad that so many have come around to recognizing your brilliance!
he weathered that with a lot of grace, that was a rough one
his growth is quite impressive
Great interview
I watched the special recently, not to mentioned his Maron show and dabbled in his wtf podcast. He is a great comedian!
the world has caught up to maron's level of bitterness and despair
I love Marc’s honesty
Marc Maron makes me laugh oud loud when most comics aren't funny today. I am glad he is doing so well.
You can't rush a late bloomer!
I used to love listening to Maron on Air America's morning show during my morning drives.
Love this guy
Great interview!
grief is self centered thus painful thus hurts thus growth...OMski...tks
HBO special is fantastic but should have been called "Plague Baby"
Good interviewer, too. Doesn't interject a paragraph of his own opinions, just questions like, "why?"
Jesus when did Marc decide to look like the clay animation rendition of Mark Twain ??
This is such a beautiful interview about grief and art and this is what you chose to contribute.
@@Kareragirl I know, I know … I’m pretty awesome
As a huge fan of Marc's I find this comment WILDLY funny well played
@@handsomefatboystop picking on him! He’s a comedian, for crying out loud 😂
I want my office to look like his
Marc leads by example.
He’s not for everybody, but, that’s his appeal to the people he is for. I dislike the term “outsider” and I’m not a fan of “niche”, he’s specific. His comic identity appeals to people who, at some point, decided to ride the roller coaster.
He told Bert Kreischer once that he's not everybody's idea of a night out.
I absolutely hate when these so-called network TH-cam channels like CBS Mornings literally cut off the end of the video.
thank you for this, CBS, you weirdly are the network that helps America age.
his show was 500% better than Seinfeld..
why people give washed up old hacks like this the time of day i have no idea.
I'm sure CBS saw *something* in Anthony Mason. He seems to be a good interviewer.
