CG: I’m often the least funny thing about the episodes. I’ve said that for a long time. The show kind of took off and my biggest regret is that it’s named what it is. I like that most people now refer to it as TCGS, which kind of represents the idea that there’s a brand to this show a little bit more.

 

CD: What does the show represent to you?

 

CG: I feel like if you talked to a lot of comedians around town, people who know me, they’d say “Oh that was like a Gethard bit.” Which doesn’t really refer to me so much as doing something that’s probably ill-advised or pointless. So yeah, the name is a little silly. I’m just happy that the name represents risk-taking and weirdness. I like that.

 

CD: That’s what makes TCGS so unique. In comedy, performers tend to find what works and stick with it. There’s a safety in that. But you swing for the fences every time, which also means there’s a much larger chance of things going wrong.

 

CG: Sometimes we fail as a comedy show but succeed as an experience. We did a show in Boston that took place in a pool. We’ve done two trips where we drove cross-country and performed in people’s homes, meeting them just randomly through an interaction online. I like delivering stuff in many ways.
