Juskow in the City

This week we go to the legendary 54 Below Cabaret room (a possible crummy snobatorium) where me AND my friend Chris got into a fight with the waiter over anchovies. So already it's a great podcast. You know you love my restaurant fight stories. 😂 The last day of class was an extremely memorable one as we all said goodbye and received some extraordinary emails from the kids. Also

On this week's episode we are reminded how Taxis in New York City need to go (but not the television series), why the CBS Network needs to go (and all their series) and how the only saving grace this week was the joy of looking at a nice clean convenience store out the window of a sad bar in New Jersey (cause they're gross in New York City). Also, going to see Book of Mormon on Bro

Today being Passover Professor Juskow takes a lesson plan page out of my class and we discuss films released in 1982. Although I think I forgot 1981 hilariously (we'll get back to it) there certainly is a treasure trove to discuss. We'll discuss the hilarious Morgan Fairchild vehicle, The Seduction; the awful sequel to Grease, Grease 2 and the classics, or at least the Juskow class

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
