Comedian Dana Gould Recommends Dr. Z Talk Show And More – Cracked.com | Articles

Comedian Dana Gould drops his second season of Hanging With Dr. Z today, with simian host Dr. Zaius schmoozing with the biggest names in comedy.  Season Two has an impressive line-up of guests, including Maria Bamford, Dave Foley, Ron Funches, Hank Azaria, Weird Al, David Koechner, Jeff Garlin, Penn Jillette, Bobcat Goldthwait, Hannah Einbinder, and Gary Anthony Williams.   

Set in the golden age of talk shows, Gould describes Hanging With Dr. Z as “beautifully stupid.”  Host Dr. Z proves that his star turn in Planet of the Apes was more than a fluke — the triple-threat ape can do it all from singing to dancing to spinning yarns about nearly every celebrity who’s ever lived. 

What else is Gould into these days?  He recently talked with ComedyNerd about some of his other pop-culture obsessions:

Going to the drive-in. “I just love it. There’s a drive-in movie theater about 45 minutes from my house called Mission Tiki Drive-In. It’s been around forever. It was renovated in the early aughts and it’s beautiful. The first movie I ever saw (Escape from the Planet of the Apes) was at the drive-in when I was six. And I worked at that drive-in high school. It’s a very retro night out.  One of my favorite things.”
