Kaitlin Olson plays Sweet Dee on It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia. She’ll talk about morally broken comedy characters and whether it’s a good idea to fall in love with the creator of your TV show. Then later Jesse talks to Jeff Chang. About 10 years ago he wrote Can’t Stop Won’t Stop: A History of the Hip-Hop Generation. It won the American Book Award in 2005. His new book is called Who We Be: The Colorization of America. In some ways, it's a follow up to the last one. It's about how art in America shapes, and is shaped by, race. Plus, Jesse tells you about one real-life superhuman: Andre the Giant. Show notes

To close out the calendar year, we've chosen some of our favorite comedy of 2010 from material released by a bunch of stand up comedians and sketch groups. Several of the performers featured were interviewed on our show this year, and even more have contributed or been interviewed in the past -- so the fun doesn't have to stop here, if you dig into the back catalogue!
And if you're interested in hearing more from any of the above, I suggest starting with these...
Interviews on The Sound from Kyle Kinane, Paul F. Tompkins, The State, Nick Thune, Paul Scheer, Simon Rich, and Aziz Ansari
Stand Up and Sketch Comedy on The Sound from Karen Kilgariff, The Kasper Hauser Podcast, Hannibal Buress, and Elephant Larry
Happy New Year, everyone!
