Episode 90: Going "Full Hog" Into All The Jobs with Zach Zimmerman

OMG we're 90 episodes old today! Happy birthday to us, it's not
easy staying unemployed this long! :) To celebrate, we have the
hilarious comedian and writer Zach Zimmerman (The New Yorker) on
the show. Zach has a book coming out this spring so we caught him
early on the press tour! The book is called, Is It Hot in Here or
Am I Suffering for all Eternity From all the Sins I Committed on
Earth? And while he calls it a title, we call it a poem! The
stories in this episode are awesome. Zach knew from a young age
that he wanted to be on a stage, and to tell stories. But before
the dream set in, his first jobs were working at Target during
holiday season, Papa John's for one whole week (until his
schedule conflicted with his play!) Then in college he did a few
jobs but his heart was in creating original work. After college
he found his "dream office job" at an LGBTQ community center
which sounded like a cool experience. Eventually he made the move
to work in advertising, which eventually brought him to NYC where
he pursued comedy. One of his first shows was a magic/comedy show
which Anna saw and loved, and that's how she met Zach! Now that
you're a fan, make sure to follow Zach on social media at
@zzdoublezz. And don't forget to pre-order Zach's book when it's
available! Anna and Ellen also listen to a voicemail (have you
called us yet?!) that someone left who tells the story about
getting fired from a TV show because he was accused of stealing a
feather cape. We're obsessed. Call us and be our next favorite
voicemail.
