Comedian Chris Gethard returns to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert to perform a harrowing scene from his new Off-Broadway one-man show Career Suicide, and talk to Stephen about how it went over with his dad.
Gethard is an actor, comedian, writer, and host. His credits are piling up fast and they are quite unique to say the least. You is a unicorn of comedy in a see of jokes. His filmography includes appearances in Don’t Think Twice, The Heat, Iron Man 3, The Dictator, and The Other Guys. As far as TV is concerned, Parks and Recreation, Broad City, The Office, Bored to Death, Louie, and Saturday Night Live are just the tip of the iceberg. Starting in 2011, he started The Chris Gethard Show. It started off as a live show at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in New York City and has since turned into a television program on Fusion.
Currently, Gethard is performing his one-man show off-broadway. Chris Gethard: Career Suicide is a new comedy about depression, alcoholism, suicide, and the other funniest parts of life. Gethard holds nothing back as he dives into his experiences with mental illness, ethically questionable psychiatry, and finding hope in weird places… even northern New Jersey. From devastating lows to manic highs, Chris Gethard: Career Suicide is a painfully honest journey into the mind of one of the most original and exciting comics at work today.
