The Adam Friedland Show

The Adam Friedland Show started as a late-night talk show parody in late 2022, and somehow the bit stuck so hard it became one of the most talked-about comedy podcasts of the past few years. Adam Friedland and Nick Mullen bring a deadpan, absurdist sensibility to long-form conversations with guests from all corners of entertainment, sports, and culture. One reviewer called it a Dick Cavett show for new media, and that actually tracks. There is a genuine intellectual sharpness underneath all the goofing around. With 474 episodes, a 4.7 rating, and over 10,500 reviews, the show has built a massive following that skews heavily toward guys in their twenties who appreciate humor that does not hold your hand. Recent guests include NHL player Sean Avery talking fights and trash talk, and the range of people they pull in keeps things unpredictable. Nick is the more chaotic force, constantly steering conversations into bizarre territory, while Adam plays the affable host trying to maintain some semblance of structure. The tension between those two energies is what makes it work. Episodes run about 90 minutes and drop weekly. The humor is definitely not for everyone, but if you are the kind of person who thinks most interview shows are boring, this one will actually hold your attention.
