About this deal

From Matt Rife’s Only Fans to John Mulaney’s Baby J and now with Tom Segura’s Sledgehammer, you have comedians getting on the stage without a care in the world about “cancel culture” and telling jokes to make audiences laugh. So this Sunday I'm going on his podcast to figure out how this all came to be and what it means for our families. Your feud with Garth Brooks started about five years ago on the podcast you host with your wife, right?

Do you give any thought to or have any concern about how a joke like that lands in certain parts of the country?I’ll admit that it was a one hundred percent genuine emotional reaction, but I took that shit personally. Oh, and he recently sold a pilot to a top streaming service and has not one, not two, but three feature films in various stages of development. Well, yesterday, I picked up my youngest, who’s 4, and we were driving and somebody cut me off and I go, “Idiot! The prolific comic, whose 'Tom Segura: Sledgehammer' drops July 4, also talks about his family, his fans and his Hollywood ambitions. On episode 568 of Your Mom's House, Segura mentioned he was doing comedy in the evenings for the first few years while holding down other daytime jobs.

But, also, I’d look back on specials and feel like something like that, where you say someone’s name or you reference a song or a TV show, quickly feels aged. He knows how lucky he is, and credits his “very, very supportive wife” and “two great kids,” all of whom he uses as hilarious comedy fodder in Sledgehammer, whose topics include everything from gay fantasies with Brad Pitt and the awkwardness of showering with his young son to the loss of his beloved father. The 44-year-old comic has grinded away for decades to become one of the most successful (and prolific) comedians around.

He has two sisters named Jane and Maria [16] and is related to the neurobiologist and podcast host Andrew D. I mean, I did that bit, like you said, in red markets and blue markets, I did it in Canada, I did it in Australia, and sometimes when you travel, you’re like, “Ah, shit, how’s that going to go tonight? One bit that didn’t make Sledgehammer concerns a truly wacky interaction with one of Segura’s neighbors in Austin, Texas, who must be Ted Cruz, and we talked about that and much more over the course of our chat.
