Considered one of the greatest interviewers of our day, acclaimed comedian John Fugelsang challenges conventional wisdom on politics, media, religion, and pop culture on an entertaining and irreverent daily call-in show on SiriusXM Insight, Channel 127. Journalists, comics, artists, authors, activists and political figures all have a place at the table on this brilliant, witty, irreverently intelligent show.
John is a regular on CNN, MSNBC, and has appeared more than 20 times on ABC's hit show, "Politically Incorrect" with Bill Maher. He has contributed to both Huffington Post and Daily Kos.
He sold out theaters across the country with Stephanie Miller on "The Sexy Liberal Comedy Tour", has been nominated for a Drama League award for his off-Broadway solo show, "Guilt: A Love Story".
