Excited to have another accomplished network exec on the podcast!  Jonas Larsen is Comedy Centrals Executive Vice President of Talent and Development. He hails from Denmark - a first for this podcast - and his amazing journey from Denmark to LA has a lot of twists and turns - and may not be what you expect from the guy who went after Charlie Sheen to be roasted on the Comedy Central Roast. We’ll hear all about how he got to where he is and how Temptation Island and the Joe Schmo Show turned out to be pivotal moments in a very interesting career path.

JONAS LARSEN is Comedy Central’s Senior VP OF Talent and Specials and oversees the production and development of original specials and tentpole events such as the Emmy-nominated “Comedy Central Roast” franchise, which includes the recent smash-hit Roasts of Justin Bieber, James Franco, and Charlie Sheen; all stand-up programming for the channel including stand-up series such as “The Meltdown with Jonah and Kumail,” “Adam Devine’s House Party,” and “This Is Not Happening”; as well as a diverse slate of specials like the critically acclaimed “Jeff Ross Roasts Prisoners: Live at Brazos County Jail,” the Emmy Award-winning “Night of Too Many Stars” benefit, ,”  and the Peabody Award-winning “DL Hughley: The Endangered List."  See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/industry-standard-w-barry-katz/support

156: Jonas Larsen

Jonas Larsen (the Senior Vice President of Talent and Specials for Comedy Central) met me for the final podcast from Skeptic Tank East headquarters 1. We talked about comedy specials. How they look and why, how they're shot and why, pretty much I got to ask almost everything I've wanted to know about what goes into the process of making a special. I have no idea if it'll be interesting to non-comedy fans or not. Hopefully it will be.
