Everybody has secret weirdness; Pete Holmes gets comedians to share theirs.

You Made It Weird is a weekly comedy interview podcast, hosted by Pete Holmes. It was hosted on the Nerdist network since October 25, 2011, but as of February 28, 2018, is independently distributed. The show originated under the premise that Holmes would ask his guest, usually a fellow comedian, about three “weird” things he knew about them, but the show has since evolved into a much more loose conversation about topics such as comedy, religion, and sexuality. While initially focusing on interviews with comedians, an increasing number of guests from other fields have appeared on the show, including musicians, pastors, scientists, and authors. Katie Levine is the producer of the podcast. The show is usually recorded in-studio at the Nerdist studio at Meltdown Comics in Los Angeles, California.

Since March 21, 2012, Holmes has recorded multiple live episodes of the podcast, in Austin at South by Southwest, New York, Bloomington, Chicago, Montreal, Quebec, San Francisco, Los Angeles at the LA Riot Festival, and Toronto at Just For Laughs. These have featured several guests rather than the usual one, and focus more on comedy rather than the in-depth discussion of a regular episode.

In this week’s episode, comedian Craig Conant joins Holmes and makes things very weird.

Craig Conant: Craig Conant is sober now despite the look on his face. Born in Los Angeles to a Mexican mother and an angry White father, growing up there was a lot of baseball and illegal fireworks. Recently he was selected by the prestigious “Just For Laughs” Comedy Festival as a New Face. He has appeared on MTV’s Next, and Greatest Party Story Ever Told. Craig has won acclaim for his unique voice and has done voiceover work on cartoon Court Ordered as Skeet William Cole. In the Stand-Up Scene Craig has quickly made a name for himself while sharing the stage with his friends, Bill Burr, Bobby Lee, Theo Von and Michael Yo. Also he was just fired from Trader Joe’s, come find out why.
