Ike Barinholtz's New Podcast: Trivia Meets Comedy

Comedian Ike Barinholtz is set to launch his new podcast, "Funny You Ask," on March 25. This weekly show will feature Barinholtz engaging with his humorous friends in customized trivia battles. Guests already slated to appear include notable figures like Jimmy Kimmel, Mindy Kaling, and Kate Hudson.

The podcast's premise is to blend comedic conversations with trivia, a concept Barinholtz developed to counter the current climate of questioning facts. He aims to create content centered around knowledge and engaging discussions. Barinholtz, who has a history of winning trivia competitions, will tailor questions to his guests' specific interests, such as fashion or film.

Barinholtz has recorded numerous episodes and expressed enthusiasm for the project, noting the fun of writing trivia questions and interacting with comedic talents. He also plans to offer video versions of the podcast and create short, shareable clips for social media platforms.

In addition to the podcast, Barinholtz is involved in other projects, including an upcoming AI movie directed by Luca Guadagnino. He also reflected on the recent passing of his "The Studio" co-star, Catherine O'Hara, acknowledging her significant creative input on their show.
