Comedian, actor, writer, improviser and podcast host Matt McCarthy joins Pete Holmes for a conversation that dives into the weird, the creative, and the unexpected turns of a comedy career. Matt reflects on his journey from the open mic circuit in New York, to sketch comedy, internet videos, TV appearances, and ultimately building his voice as a stand‑up and media figure. He talks about his longtime passion for pro‑wrestling, which led him to host the acclaimed We Watch Wrestling Podcast, how that love for performance intersects with comedy, and what it means to keep evolving when you’re always “in the weird zone.” Expect stories about acting in shows like The Pete Holmes Show, writing under pressure, making viral content, and finding clarity in chaos. It’s funny, real, and full of the kind of insight only someone who’s spent years both chasing laughs and scratching his head can deliver. 📲 Follow Matt @mccarthyredhead 🎙️ Listen to the We Watch Wrestling Podcast wherever you get podcasts 🎧 Subscribe to You Made It Weird with Pete Holmes for more revealing and weird conversations #MattMcCarthy #PeteHolmes #YouMadeItWeird #ComedyPodcast #StandUpComedy #WeWatchWrestling #SketchComedy #Improviser #ComedyJourney #FunnyAndReal ==================================================================== SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Thank you VITA COCO for being our official ON SET BEVERAGE Get 25% off and get Vita Coco shipped to your door by using code WEIRD20 https://vitacoco.com MAGIC MIND GET 20% OFF YOUR ORDER http://magicmind.co/weird APOLLO Get 10% OFF your order https://apolloneuro.com/weird DAD GRASS USE PROMO CODE: WEIRD GET 20% OFF YOUR ORDER http://dadgrass.com/weird
