Mad Men fans cannot miss this week's Sklarbro Country! Don Draper himself Jon Hamm is back on the calming shores to tell us how the Cardinals impacted the current season of Mad Men and joins us for the opening takes and Weekly Wahlberg. Plus we're reuniting Jon with his We Were Soldiers castmate Sam Elliott for a voice-over off! What would touchdown Jesus do? He'd listen to Sklarbro Country! |

You know how much we love lady energy here on the calming shores! We've got one of the best this week with stand-up comedian and Parks and Recreation writer Chelsea Peretti. She talks of maggots and Fleas and tells us how she learned to love the NBA. We're also getting Gumble-y this week with yet another call from Bryant Gumble (in addition to a creepy voice mail from NPR's Robert Siegel). Plus, get to know animator John Mathot who designed our beautiful new Sklarbro Country t-shirts. Pick up a shirt and punch a waterfall! |

People all over the country are familiar with Zach Galifianakis from The Hangover and his other wildly successful projects. But I bet those people don't know what kind of fruit Zach grows on his farm! Or what he and his comic friends used to do for fun in New York! Or how much he adores bad comedy! Zach is vacationing on the calming shores of Sklarbro Country this week, and we're glad to have him! Also joining us for the first time is Robert Siegel who treats us to his NPR grace, class, and dignity. If you got here by googling "stolen penguin," you are in the right place! |

Hey you nerds and coolos! Are you ready for a new Sklarbro Country with the super funny Jordan Peele? Jordan has been making us laugh on Key & Peele and he is here in Sklarbro Country to tell us the key to his spot-on Obama impersonation and how to make Europeans laugh. Also joining us is Tim Gunn to talk about, of course, his Coachella plans. Now, if you want to listen to this episode you must follow a strict code of conduct: Never poop in a shoe, don't eat at 2 AM, and go to Stamps.com and use the code Sklar! |

Folks, prepare yourselves! Prepare yourselves for an over-sized load of Sklarbro Country with special guests Jim Gaffigan and Colin Hay! Colin treats us to his amazing songs, delights us with his rock star stories, and cracks us up as he joins in on Quick Hits. Jim Gaffigan pulls out his college football history, tells the tale of a spectacularly bad corporate gig, and explains the preparation and planning that went into his new special Mr. Universe. Don't worry, we saved enough time for a phone call from Racist Vin Scully and a message from Mark Wahlberg. Now take that money Kris Humphries gave you and pick up Mr. Universe. Then tell everyone how great it is with a letter sent with Stamps.com! |

We have no doubt that Sklarbro Country residents were and are huge Arrested Development fans. This week on the show we have the hook-handed youngest brother Tony Hale in the studio to tell us about his real life relationship with Liza Minnelli and how some inappropriate rubbing helped him land the role of Buster Bluth. He also offers up some psychiatric advice in a quick hits segment that will make you look at this country in a whole new, double-fat-fried light. Plus Bryant Gumbel is on the blower to give us some closing remarks on his brother's attempt at sports broadcasting. Click here to watch Lance Armstrong lose gracefully in the Galveston Ironman competition, click here to vote for Sklarbro Country in The Comedy Awards, and click here to pick up Sklarbro Country LIVE from SXSW. It's just that simple! |

We all love Ellie Kemper. From The Office to Bridesmaids, her cheery smile has brightened big screens and now we're using her melodious voice to talk about pole dancing, coach punching, and fish advocating. Ellie has traveled from St. Louis to Princeton to New York to Los Angeles and now it's time for her to vacation in Sklarbro Country! Speaking of vacations, we're got an awesome band in the studio this week by the name of Vacationer whose island style and briefcase tapping are the perfect foil to Jesse Ventura who joins us to discuss his recent fisticuffs. If you live in Philadelphia, it's not too early to pick up tickets to see Randy and Jason at Helium on April 12-14. HENDERSON! |

Are you ready for a doubleheader of awesome Sklarbro Country guests? For the first time ever, we have two guests from disparate worlds joining us throughout the episode: Comedian/screenwriter Tom Lennon and podcaster/host of Hoarders Matt Paxton. Matt lived in Reno, Tom loves Hoarders, it's a match made in heaven! They help us figure out the purpose of Rent-a-Center and create a marketing scheme that will revolutionize A&E. With all the Hoarders talk of dead cats, we thought we should invite our favorite pooch into the fold. Randy Moss's dog is on the phone with predictions on Randy's upcoming season with the 49ers. If you're in Austin tonight, better go to Esther's Follies for Sklarbro Country LIVE! If not, just go punch a waterfall and order a flat cat. |

Folks, this is one for the books! We have FIVE guests this week from the worlds of comedy, film, television, athletics, and Toshiba. You'll get your weekly dose of Wahlberg before getting to know Graham Elwood who talks to us about performing for the troops and his fantastic podcast Comedy Film Nerds. We talk to a true childhood idol of Dale Murphy who puts us in touch with a Cheap Seats legend, Earl Christensen. As if that possibly isn't enough, we close it all up with Jimmy Smits. It's as exciting as a laser pointer in the eye, without all the retina damage! |
