18. Don Reed

Comedy Anatomy

On Episode 18 of Comedy Anatomy, Masavia and Mike chat with comedian, actor, writer and director Don Reed. Don is a veteran standup comic who worked on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno for many years, appeared on The Cosby Show, A Different World, Robert Townsend’s Hollywood Shuffle, as well as several HBO shows and comedy specials. He also wrote and performed multiple off-Broadway one-man-shows based on his life experiences. Don’s story is an important one, and offers great insights into the realities of the comedy and entertainment business, both then, and now.

Comedy Anatomy delves into the minds of comedians and tries to understand how they navigate the comedy industry, and the world at large. Join us as we take a deeper, more introspective look at the people who pursue the art form of comedy. It’s all about having thoughtful, engaging conversations with some of entertainment's best and brightest.

In each episode, hosts Masavia Greer and Mike George interact with comedians like few ever do, revealing who their guests are as comedians but more importantly, as human beings. Ideally, our conversations leave listeners with a little wisdom to enlighten their own personal journeys.
