For over 20 years, Tom Scharpling has hosted The Best Show. It aired on the New York public radio station WFMU until around 2013, and now it’s a podcast. Tom’s also a comedy writer who’s worked on shows like Monk, What We Do in the Shadows and HBO’s Divorce. As a voice actor, he’s appeared on the Cartoon Network shows Steven Universe and Adventure Time. On the latest episode, we talk with Tom about his new book It Never Ends: A Memoir with Nice Memories, and hosting The Best Show for more than two decades. Plus, Tom tells us why C3PO, the fussy golden Star Wars robot, is one of the worst fictional characters of all time. Heads up: There is going to be some very serious talk about mental illness, including Tom’s experience with electroconvulsive therapy. We thought we’d let you know.
