South Beach Sessions - Joel Kim Booster

Notas do episódio

If you've watched any comedy since the pandemic... then you already love Joel Kim Booster. He's had a hand in everything from "Fire Island" to "Loot" to "Big Mouth" and now, the new "Scrubs" reboot. Joel tells Dan about the challenges of understanding and owning his identity being adopted by a deeply conservative and religious white family... and how he navigated not being accepted by his parents for being gay and finding an outlet through acting and comedy. He also talks about his transition from the startup world to the world of comedy, and why even after creating original and authentic (and successful!) work… to maintain a career in entertainment, you never really escape having to prove yourself over and over again. Joel also reminisces about his recent marriage to his husband, the clarity and comfort it brings, and how love really can make any situation better. Watch new episodes of "Scrubs" Wednesday at 8/7c on ABC and streaming next day on Hulu. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
