[observation, 2015] Because I've become a little more refined as an an actor, and in knowing what the character of 'me' is on the show, emotionally and comically, there's a lot of stuff this season. There's a lot of what-ifs. There's a little bit of an undercurrent off the worst road traveled. What if Maron kinda succumbed to the darker side of him and things went that way? It's almost a cautionary tale.

Fact

Stand up style is often compared to Richard Lewis. In his first book, The Jerusalem Syndrome, he initially wrote the phrase "the food pyramid in hell" which the editor changed to "the food pyramid from hell." Because "...from hell" is Lewis' trademark catchphrase (so much so that Lewis infamously petitioned Bartlett's Familiar Quotations to attribute it to him, as parodied in the "Curb Your Enthusiasm" episode Curb Your Enthusiasm: The Nanny from Hell (2002)) this edit so-frustrated Maron that whenever he signs a copy of the book, he opens it to that page and changes it to "...in hell.".

Has been on poor terms with Jon Stewart for years, which Maron admits largely stemmed from jealousy on his part. Because he finds Stewart to be nice, smart and talented despite their personal differences, he invited him onto his podcast to make amends (episodes of his podcast in which he reconciled with Paul F. Tompkins and Louis C.K. are regarded by many critics to be among the best podcast interviews ever). Stewart responded to this invitation, saying he would be willing to discuss their issues one-on-one over coffee, but not to do so in a public forum, although he made a point to congratulate Maron on the success of his podcast.
