On tonight’s episode, Marc Maron accepts an invitation from his friend Adam Goldberg to visit Adam’s college class and lecture on comedy. I haven’t seen the entire episode, just a preview clip – but even the clip made me laugh out loud, once the students starting interrupting Maron’s lecture. “Academic heckling,” he responded wearily. “Is that a thing, really?” It can be. When I tell a joke or make a reference in one of my classes and am greeted with the sound of silence, I often say, “When I went into teaching, I was told that if I reached only one person, that would be enough. I just didn’t know that, most of the time, that person would be me.” And if they don’t respond to that, either, it just makes me laugh all the more, in a disconnecting downward spiral. Makes me laugh, every time it happens. Makes me laugh – just not them. Good luck tonight, Marc.
