Wagging the dog with Craig Bierko.
What a cool return, wasn’t expecting this one at all.
Haven’t even heard it yet, but yes!
I’d just rewatched his previous show the other day too! A great return, it did not disappoint. Facinating at the start, hysterical at the end!
Weird. The day this went up I randomly watched an episode of Law and Order with Craig.
Oh, this was a good one! Craig is so dreamy — seriously he’s my number one. We never did get that second LuPone story
Another solid appearance from Bierko. With all the talk about LuPone and the visit from the dog I thought Jimmy would have made a Lobo reference. He could have summed up the episode by saying it was about, “Me and Lu and a dog named Boo.”
“I just cleaned my hands with a puddle of nonsense.”
Bierko seemed a little…unhinged.
The second LuPone story was that she asked him where they were in the play backstage and that terrified him because it was like a pilot asking whether he should go up or down.
Is is me, or does Craig occasionally sound like Albert Brooks? Probably just me.
THIS is why you get the VIDEO… I liked Craig’s last visit just fine last time, nothing special to me. But, back then I didn’t get the video. Craig is one of these guys that you’ve really got to see the physicality and the expressions to really get how GREAT and funny he is. One of the best….
Honestly, I just did a spit take at Jimmy singing “Ladies Who Lunch.”
I’m not sure why but Craig’s weird burp moment was hilarious. I think I rewound and saw it like ten times, seriously. All burps aside it was a great episode and I dug the little skit at the end when Pardo touched the dog.
Show notes right here, peoples:

I don’t think I’ve heard better chemistry between two people on a podcast than Jimmy and Craig Bierko.
I’m pretty sure that Bierko’s double-date dinner invitation to Jimmy ranks in the top one hardest laughs season 10 has gotten out of me. That burp was SO perfectly timed.
I am in full agreement with you on that Mitch.
-Bierko:”You don’t like double dates? If I… If my, if I wanted to escort you, you and your wife and, ehh my lady to dinner [Burrp Blewrfhhassahdhsa]
-Pardo:”You alright? Hey are you alright”
[Laughter and a slight pause from Bierko plus a weird look on his face]
-Bierko:”That’s the way I wanted to go… Can I tell you something? That’s the way I wanted to go.”
I nominate that to the opening video for season 11.
LOVED THIS. I nominate “Let’s be policemen!” for the open of season 11.
I loved the episode too.
I can’t stop thinking about Mr. Pardo meeting Craig at Steven Weber’s guest house for dinner, then he hits it off with Weber and has him as a guest on the show. Then Weber will get him Tim Daly as a guest, then, jackpot, Tyne Daly.
I’d listen to Samantha Fox being backed up by Kraftwerk.
What a fantastic ep, love Bierko, brings it!
