"In 2011, Holmes launched " You Made It Weird," an interview-style podcast that delves into topics like the meaning of life, mental health, art and everything everything in between. More than 1,000 episodes later, he is celebrating the 14th anniversary of the show and has recently signed with podcast network Lemonada Media (which is also home to Julia Louis-Dreyfus' "Wiser Than Me," "The Sarah Silverman Podcast" and "Hasan Minhaj Doesn't Know")."
"His nervous system also assures him that he's found the right project. While Holmes says he feels "tense" before his stand-up sets, there's a sense of comfort in sitting face to face with someone and simply having a conversation. "When I'm doing my podcast, especially in person, there's very, very little tension," he says. "It's the thing in show business, I've found, that winds me up in a bad way the least.""
Pete Holmes built a more than 20-year comedy career with a youth pastor aesthetic and wholesome jokes and created the semi-autobiographical HBO series Crashing. In 2011 he launched You Made It Weird, an interview-style podcast covering meaning of life, mental health, art and related topics. The podcast surpassed 1,000 episodes, reached its 14th anniversary and recently signed with Lemonada Media. Holmes has hosted high-profile guests and co-hosts the show weekly with his wife, Valerie Chaney. He feels less tension during podcasts than stand-up and values the comfortable, face-to-face conversational format. He balances the podcast with family life and live shows.
