Marc Maron interviewed himself for GQ's new comedy issue, which is mostly online now, and the results were just about as neurotic as you would expect from a conversation between Marc Maron and Marc Maron.
Marc Maron went on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon last night to promote his new book and show and to share stories about Michael Keaton and Judd Hirsch because that's what you do at a late night talk show (if you have stories about Michael Keaton and Judd Hirsch).
Here's the first full-length trailer to Marc Maron's new TV show Maron, which starts up Friday, May 3rd, at 10 on IFC. Maron's guests stars this year include Mark Duplass, Illeana Douglas, Dave Foley, Jeff Garlin, Judd Hirsch, Gina Gershon, Bobcat Goldthwait, Denis Leary, Aubrey Plaza, Adam Scott, Eric Stoltz, Danny Trejo, and a bunch of cat actors.
The A.V. Club has a cool interview with Marc Maron, where as part of their "Bestcasts" series, they ask him to pick and discuss his five favorite episodes of his podcast. Maron's favorites were his interviews with Robin Williams, Norm Macdonald, The Onion's Todd Hanson, Carlos Mencia, and his two-parter with Louis C.K. But what about the time prop comic Gallagher stormed out of his interview, you ask? Don't worry, they talked about that one too.
Marc Maron has been appearing on Conan since 1994 (that's two Conan shows and one network ago for those keeping track), and here's his latest appearance from last night. Now that Maron's a big shot with his podcast and upcoming IFC show, he gets to sit on the couch with Conan and Andy instead of doing stand-up like he used to have to during his up-and-comer days. Hit the jump for the full interview, in which Maron shares stories about his Thanksgiving and his recent Hawaiian vacation but runs out of time before he gets to talk about the boat to Hawaii, leaving a nation in suspense as to [...]
Marc Maron Is Everywhere Week continues as the comedian is popping up all over the place to promote his new book and IFC show. Maron did a question-and-answer session on Reddit yesterday and discussed a wide variety of topics, including whether or not he's talked to Gallagher since his ill-fated interview with the racist prop comic, his dream WTF guests, and how he has zero relationship with Conan O'Brien off-camera despite 20 years of appearing on his shows. Check out all the best parts and none of the worst parts from the Reddit session below:
Marc Maron’s new book, Attempting Normal, comes to us at an interesting and pivotal moment in his life. After two and a half decades of toiling in relative obscurity, the forty-nine year-old comic finally seems to be getting his due. His wildly popular and groundbreaking WTF podcast is closing in on its 400th episode and only getting better. This Friday sees the debut of the IFC series Maron, a show loosely based on the neurosis-fueled chaos that is his life. And now, at long last, after countless hours sweating it out on stage in half-filled B rooms and dive bars to frequently apathetic audiences, the comic who on [...]
IFC just released this short teaser for its new show Maron, starring comedian/podcaster/cat-loving garage-dweller Marc Maron and based on his life. Maron is set to debut sometime this spring and 90% of the show will probably consist of Marc Maron apologizing to fellow comedians and making things right.

This week, Marc Maron's show Maron premieres on IFC. The show is based loosely on the comedian's experience creating and hosting his WTF with Marc Maron podcast. Since the podcast's creation in 2009, Maron has interviewed everyone from Carrot Top to Bryan Cranston to Jonathan Winters, and Maron's candid conversational style paired with his signature blend of honesty, insecurity, and resentment has shone a light on the emotional backstories behind respected and despised comedians, actors, and musicians alike.
After nearly 400 episodes, it's hard to identify the absolute best of anything without leaving a ton of great stuff out, but here is a list of some of the most [...]
"Lost Roles" is a weekly column taking a different actor, comedian, or writer each week and examining all of the movies and TV shows they almost made but didn't, for one reason or another. This week, we turn our attention to Marc Maron, host of the wildly-popular podcast WTF and the star/creator of the upcoming IFC series Maron.
After making his TV debut in 1989, Maron struggled for two decades to surpass a certain level of fame. Although he made regular TV appearances and was a successful stand-up, it took his pioneering podcast to make Maron a household name. Throughout his long journey to the top, Marc Maron [...]
Today's the one-year anniversary of comedian Todd Glass coming out of the closet on Marc Maron's podcast WTF, an extremely moving episode of the show that's one of the best Maron has ever done. Jesse David Fox over at Vulture has an in-depth interview with Glass, reflecting on what the past year of his life has been like since coming out and the overwhelming support he received from the comedy community, his fans, and strangers alike. It's a nice read that serves as a fitting epilogue to Glass's Maron appearance.
Sculptor Blake Lowe made this really cool action figure of podcasting pioneer Marc Maron as a gift for Maron. It was crafted entirely by hand as part of Lowe's action figure-making business Blake Make. Unfortunately, you can't buy your own Marc Maron figure, but if you offered Lowe enough money, maybe you could convince him to make you one. The Maron figure comes complete with a microphone, guitar, and a brick wall. Headphones, cats, and garage playset not included.
