Juskow in the City

This week we go down to the West Village to see David Yazbek's new musical, "Dead Outlaw", which is terrific. We also run into my old managing partner from the firm at the play where I have become the Voldemort of the place (as in he who must not be named) - so EPIC. Also, as I go to see my friends Julian and Paul play piano also in the West Village and Julian doesn't finish his so

That's right. One hundred years or so ago there were riots right here in River City (downtown Manhattan) over who's theatre had the better production of Hamlet. I only bring it up because it's my new course lecture and well -- it's incredibly hilarious and may make you feel a little better about the world today because nothing seems to change so. . . . -- Also this week, Artist Dre

Three Presidents past and present came into town this week and I know the first thing you thought of was "how would this affect Dave Juskow of Juskow in the City?" - and I appreciate that. Well, it was a nightmare, as usual. I thought they all hated New York City (except for Clinton), why do they bother me? Anyhoo, that, our friend Marcie coming to town; the Nickelodeon documentary

On today's episode I lecture to my class on the importance of friendship and relationships. I'm worried about this generation of kids not having personal contacts and too much AI. I know it sounds silly but I've been seeing things with newer comics and my students that are worrying signs about the Earth's future. I know, right? But don't worry -- we're also talking about the Rob Re

On this week's episode we travel to Connecticut from the City which is a horrible task to have dinner with the great Paul Shaffer only to find out we're not having dinner with the great Paul Shaffer (Spoiler Alert); also another awful dinner at Morso which is just so classic that I keep showing up there; a visit to the Geek Squad trying to sell the classic coverage bogus plan; yes,

It's Spring Break again and it's once again time to Paaaarrrty! And, if you're like me that means a nice 6:00 pm reservation at a restaurant and then off to bed with you. But seriously folks. . . Went to dinner 3 times this week and nothing really horrible happened (darn). We did, however, get to burn that restaurant from last week as Evan called the owner and really let him have i

This week the director of Clueless & Fast Times at Ridgemont High comes to class to regale us with her incredible stories of how Clueless got made and how a woman in 1982 was able to direct a motion picture; AND, how the book club I joined and left pulled a "Blue Man Group" on me (you'll get it); also, scathing articles on my favorite restaurant, Jimbo's and our favorite TV Sho

The Carlyle hotel in New York City is a fancy hotel alright -- they have the fruit flavored tootsie rolls at the front desk and let me tell you something -- that's usually only Halloween candy - so that's real class. Also, this week, since I've become a professor, I've started giving notes on friends Stand-Up specials - even when they don't ask. Cause that's hilarious. My nephew tr

As no one in this great nation of ours has the GUTS to release it, I had to take matters into my own hands to see the new Woody Allen movie. Also this week, the continuing pain in the ass literally and figuratively that comes from getting into a car accident that is not your fault; all the women of a certain age that asked me to dance on, ironically, Lincoln's birthday. 😜 Hosted

Yes, this week I went to see the Broadway musical, Days of Wine & Roses, which leads to the question, why make a musical on Days of Wine & Roses. BUT, I do enjoy complaining so - I like to see everything and it's hard for anything to live up to Back to the Future at this point so. . . Also, this week - a funeral for one of the comedy club owners in town; a classic Russian m
