| 6/22/26 | Jon Rudnitsky and Mike Answer Your Questions About Failure and Jokes | This week, the very funny Jon Rudnitsky joins Mike to answer listener submitted questions. The two of them discuss how long it was before they started earning money from comedy, the complete loss of dignity required to make it as a stand-up, and what it is that keeps them showing up every day. Plus, how Jon caused what he believes to be one of the greatest mistakes in SNL history. | — | ||||||

| 2/16/26 | Bob Odenkirk: The Art of Anger in Comedy | Best of WIO: Bob Odenkirk (Recorded July 2025) Bob Odenkirk was already a comedy legend (SNL, The Ben Stiller Show, Mr. Show with Bob and David) before he took a left turn into dramatic acting with Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. Now he’s entered yet another new phase as an unlikely action star in films like the Nobody series. Bob sits down with Mike to discuss how anger works in comedy and action films, the stress of making Better Call Saul, and the time Bob played Mike’s brother on a TV pilot. | — | ||||||
| 2/9/26 | 202. Connor Ratliff: How and Why To Do Improv | Connor Ratliff is a beloved cult comedy figure known for his award-winning podcast Dead Eyes and his long-running live show/YouTube series The George Lucas Talk Show. He also played an improv student in Mike’s film Don’t Think Twice, which is a bit of a winking joke because Connor is one of the most experienced and revered improvisers on the scene. Mike and Connor go deep on improv comedy process, Connor shares some of his most devastating audition stories, and the two take a phone call from their mutual friend Chris Gethard. | — | ||||||
| 2/3/26 | 201. Heidi Gardner: Behind Your Favorite SNL Characters | Heidi Gardner went from being a hairdresser in LA to joining the Groundlings to 8 seasons on SNL, where she created characters like “Dianne, The Mom Who's Only Read About New York on Facebook” and “A Woman Who Insists She's Not Mad.” Heidi talks with Mike about her SNL experience, which included hosting a tailgate party in her dressing room for Travis Kelce, and she shares the lessons she learned about creating comedic characters from her days in the Groundlings. Plus, Heidi’s love for her native Kansas City, and an update on Mike and Jen’s rat problem. | — | ||||||
| 1/26/26 | 200. John Mulaney: He’s Funny and Here’s Why | For the 200th episode of Working It Out, Mike sits down with one of his oldest friends and one of the podcast’s first ever guests, John Mulaney. The two discuss monkeys wearing space suits, old stories from the road, and how John’s career changed after having kids. They work out new jokes about the time John asked Mike to go skydiving, getting yelled at by substitute teachers, and a story about an interaction with Frank Sinatra that—until Mike tells it on stage—John cannot find peace. Plus, John brings a literal buzzer into the interview so that he can hit it if he finds Mike guilty of a certain tendency.

| 1/19/26 | 199. Jordan Jensen: You Can’t Say That (But Actually You Can) | This week Mike sits down with comedian Jordan Jensen.

Plus, the story of how caring for her paralyzed friend led her to stand-up, why Jordan almost bit Laura Dern on the set of Bradley Cooper’s film Is This Thing On?, and the time someone from the audience tried to fight her. | — | ||||||
| 1/12/26 | 198. Sarah Sherman Returns: If Chucky Went to Sarah Lawrence | This week, SNL’s Sarah Sherman returns on the heels of the release of her new HBO special, “Live + In the Flesh.” Sarah and Mike discuss why Sarah goes to therapy three times a week, which SNL cast member Sarah is jealous of, and the difference between Sarah Sherman and her stage persona Sarah Squirm. Plus, the Weekend Update character that Lorne Michaels himself thought of for Sarah to play. | — | ||||||
| 1/5/26 | Stephen Colbert: A Gift from the Comedy Gods | Best of WIO: Stephen Colbert (Recorded January 2025) This week the legendary Stephen Colbert returns to the podcast.

Plus, Stephen’s thoughts on meeting George Lucas and the Pope. | — | ||||||
