Our Editor's Take

Comedians Will Ferrell, Bowen Yang, and Matt Rogers cohost the Clown Parade podcast. The show is a comedic anthology series. Comedians like Steve Han, Rekhar Shankar, and Desi Domo guest on the show. In each episode, Will, Bowen, and Matt open with a skit and introduce the comedians featured in the episode. The acts on the podcast vary from well-known acts to standup newcomers. On the podcast, they narrate or play various personas and characters.

The three podcast hosts have different levels of fame. But they all share great personalities and the ability to make people laugh. Will brings his raunchy humor and wit to Clown Parade. Movies the A-lister stars in include Anchorman,Step Brothers, and Elf. While he's most famous for his comedic roles, Will has a versatile portfolio. He has also acted on Broadway and he's an executive producer on HBO's Succession.

Cohosts Bowen and Matt Rogers run the Las Culturistas podcast series. Matt is an actor, TV presenter, and writer. His acting credits include guest appearances in I Love That for You and Shrill. Bowen made history in 2021 when he became the first Saturday Night Live cast member nominated for a Primetime Emmy. He is an actor, comedian, and rapper. Matt and Bowen are both gay men who have a big audience in the LGBTQ community.

Podcast episodes open with Will, Matt, and Bowen bantering or joking around. Afterward, they introduce the episode's featured comedian and the character they'll be playing. Listeners hear different comedians play characters ranging from a cunning stepmom to a sleazy show host. Each character has a mini-series on the podcast. Actress Greta Titelman is in the debut episode of Clown Parade. Her character offers funny advice on how to snag a rich man. SNL and Shrill writer Sudi Green plays sangria-loving OBGYN Dr. Pitts. The guest comics on the show are diverse, funny, and bring originality. While the podcast is not an actual "clown parade," there's plenty of clowning around going on. Comedy fans may appreciate this podcast.
