Pete Holmes talks about his new standup special I Am Not for Everyone, the possibility of more Crashing, and how parenthood has informed his comedy.
The Big Picture I've always had an awareness of Pete Holmes. That sounds odd to say, but there are a handful of unique similarities between me and the comedian-writer-actor triple-threat born and raised in Massachusetts.
HOLMES: Oh my god. That is incredible. The only thing I remember from that show — well, my brother, after the show, told me he had heard every joke before. And I also called Norm Jones an SOB, lovingly. "Oh, there you are, you old SOB." I remember the crowd sort of gasping, but I was like, "Uh oh! I guess I can't even say an acronym for a curse word."
That is the answer that I would give to that question, is that my spirituality is all about self-inquiry.
You got me started on a strange — I was coming on to promote a comedy special telling wiener jokes.Speaking of adapting and changing, a lot of the jokes this time around just feel so informed by your being a dad and a husband.
All I can say is it's the comedy that I like to see, and it's the comedy that I strive to do because hopefully, ideally, everybody leaves feeling a little bit less alone — as opposed to me being like a Crest commercial. “And that's how I won. And that's what I did with my money and my power and my car.” Then I'm just another advertisement, as opposed to saying, “No, the you that came to the show now, that one's okay. The you that's not for everybody, that's okay.
