Guests: Episodes with Bo Burnham
Bo Burnham is a versatile American entertainer known for his work in comedy, music, acting, and filmmaking. He gained early fame as a YouTube star and later made a name for himself with stand-up specials and albums. In 2018, he shifted focus to film, debuting with the highly-praised drama “Eighth Grade.” His one-man show “Inside,” created during the COVID-19 pandemic, won multiple Emmys and a Grammy.
Stylistically, Burnham’s comedy is satirical and often tackles societal issues. While he’s faced criticism for his early work, he’s acknowledged these shortcomings and evolved his approach over time. Personally, he’s private and has opened up about struggling with anxiety, impacting his performances and creative work. He’s been in a relationship with filmmaker Lorene Scafaria since 2013.
