One of his guests on his highly successful 'WTF with Marc Maron' podcast was then President Barack Obama. Maron often makes mention of having to ask his neighbors' permission to station Secret Service snipers on their roofs during the interview.Has been on poor terms with Jon Stewart for years, which Maron admits largely stemmed from jealousy on his part. Because he finds Stewart to be nice, smart and talented despite their personal differences, he invited him onto his podcast to make amends (episodes of his podcast in which he reconciled with Paul F. Tompkins and Louis C.K. are regarded by many critics to be among the best podcast interviews ever). Stewart responded to this invitation, saying he would be willing to discuss their issues one-on-one over coffee, but not to do so in a public forum, although he made a point to congratulate Maron on the success of his podcast.Was best friends and roommates with Louis C.K..Was good friends with Sam Kinison.Grew up in New Jersey, Alaska, and Albuquerque, New Mexico.Stand up style is often compared to Richard Lewis. In his first book, The Jerusalem Syndrome, he initially wrote the phrase "the food pyramid in hell" which the editor changed to "the food pyramid from hell."

Over the next five years, they worked together professionally on multiple projects, including Shelton directing two of his comedy specials, multiple episodes of his shows "Maron" and "GLOW," and the movie Sword of Trust.

Every book is a self-help book.
<br />
<hr>
[observation, 2015] Because I've become a little more refined as an an actor, and in knowing what the character of 'me' is on the show, emotionally and comically, there's a lot of stuff this season. There's a lot of what-ifs. There's a little bit of an undercurrent off the worst road traveled. What if Maron kinda succumbed to the darker side of him and things went that way? It's almost a cautionary tale.
<br />
<hr>
[on Lynn Shelton's death] It's a terrible experience but it is a fundamental human experience. It's as common as love. It's devastating, but we are built to carry it, for ourselves and for others. |
