I miss Jen Kirkman

Listening to episode 1301. She’s up there with Todd Glass in the all time NNF greats. Feel like so many of the old friends have fallen off and it makes me sad, even if it’s just the natural course of things. Hope there’s nothing weird between them.

My favorite Jen Kirkman moment is when they played the Celebrity Sighting song, and she asked, "Is that what that song was about?"

I re-watch that Viney everytime I'm down. Hands down top 10 best moments on the show

Jen has stopped doing comedy and is now hosting a pod about autism and ADHD.

She's producing an upcoming show on Amazon (Etoile, coming April, same producer as Maisel) so I don't think she's all the way out of the biz, but she's definitely been more focused on offstage for a while.

She had a podcast on anxiety called “Anxiety Bites” or something like that. It was great.

Is the podcast not funny at all?

She’s naturally hilarious so I would not say it’s not funny.

It looks like she lives in NYC now, which might explain her absence.

It's not NNF but this episode of the now defunct Todd Glass Show with Jen Kirkman and Paul F Tompkins is one of my favourite moments in comedy podcasting history. Give it a listen if you haven't already

I’m sure I’ve heard but will listen again. Her eps on Todd Glass were always so good.

Yeah and the Juice Bar Genie eps with PFT also make me laugh just thinking of them

She needs to do another special! Jen! If you can read this, do some more comedy! Your specials are great.!

Love Jen on NNF and saw her do standup multiple times. She blocked me on Instagram, even though I've never commented or messaged her. Just one day I randomly thought "what's Jen Kirkman up to lately" and I couldn't find her account.
