Outside Tonight with Julian Shapiro-Barnum is the internet’s late-night show reimagined for a new generation.
Hosted by comedian, creator, and Recess Therapy star Julian Shapiro-Barnum, the series takes the energy, unpredictability, and charm of New York City and turns it into the ultimate late-night set.
Blending celebrity interviews, street-level adventures, absurd comedy, and heartfelt human moments, Outside Tonight captures the spontaneity of the internet while embracing the spirit of classic late-night television.
Whether Julian is sharing laughs with everyday New Yorkers, chatting with celebrity guests, attempting keg stands, or being upstaged by baby co-hosts, no two episodes are ever the same.
Set entirely outside and fueled by the vibrant personalities of the city, Outside Tonight delivers a fresh, funny, and uniquely authentic take on late-night entertainment—where anything can happen and usually does.
On this episode, Fueled by his relationship with his bisexuality, Julian asks the question: am I gay enough to be bi? But the bigger question of the episode is about insecurities and whether they’re actually helpful to us. Maybe our insecurities are a good thing. Julian digs into all this by talking to a panel of overly confident people, uncovering dogs who might want to come out as gay, and sitting down with the cast of Adults for a real chat about their own relationship to confidence and insecurity as people in the public eye.
We have a ton of wonderful guests including the cast of FX’s Adults, Owen Thiele, Amita Rao, Lucy Freyer, Malik Elassal, Gianmarco Soresi, Jay Jurden, Avantika Vandanapu, Richard Perez, musical guest Pinc Louds, and some of the gayest dogs in New York City!
Join us as we combine the best parts of the internet and the best parts of late night. New York City isn’t just a backdrop, it is our set for every episode. From gay dogs to good old bisexuality, Outside Tonight has it all!
