Funny Marco, internet comedian & Open Thoughts podcast host talks about his uniquely uncomfortable approach to comedy, advice from Kevin Hart, his thoughts on Travis Kelce Taylor Swift as a Chiefs fan, and viral conversations with celebrities including Chris Brown and Nikki Minaj.
Ryan, Channing and Fred sit with Funny Marco and learn about his journey from becoming an overnight sensation to the top of the comedy realm.
All it took was a little patience, advice he shares that he received from Kevin Hart. Marco Summers, known to the world as Funny Marco is a Kansas City kid, who struggled in school and rarely held onto a job for a long time (by choice) has transcended his life into comedic stardom and now at 30 years old, has managed to take over the internet comedy space with his viral celebrity conversations and extremely uncomfortable interview style. By maintaining good relationships and betting on his personality, Marco has interviewed some of the world’s biggest celebrities from Nicki Minaj to Chris Brown to Kevin Hart and more.
The guys talk about Marco’s comedy style and how he understands what energy to bring to a specific moment and has learned through his own experiences about what pushes conversations too far and how to be edgy without putting himself in danger or being viewed too negatively.
Marco opens up about one of his podcast episodes that had the potential to go very badly and how he was able to salvage it and stand up for himself by sticking to who he is and his approach. The comedian is known for his awkward approaches to interviews and creative narratives, and he discusses with Channing the importance of personality in comedy, but also the pressure comedians feel to always make people laugh.
In a surprising role reversal Ryan puts on his best Funny Marco outfit from wearing the oversized coat to New Balance sneakers to tank top and attempts to interview the star with the same energy the comedian brings in each of his viral clips…Fred and Channing are laughing while Marco responds as you’d least expect, with tears. Marco is already putting his touch on the comedy world, and with each moment he pivots to bring audiences something they’ve never seen before. Experiencing firsthand the talent of Funny Marco, the guys understand how and why he has become an overnight sensation and whether it’s with tears or laughs, Marco’s authentic self is taking the internet by storm.
