Marc Maron joins Newsweek’s H. Alan Scott to break down his incredible new HBO comedy special, Panicked. Holding nothing back, he argues that a comic doesn’t have a responsibility to be political in the age of Trump. "I do not think it's that comics' responsibility to do anything but be funny." To that, Maron roasts the left for its infighting, joking that progressives may have “annoyed the average American into fascism.”

But we go deeper than politics. Maron reflects on how processing tragedy has allowed him to take greater comedic risks, revealing there’s “a part of me that's a little softer and a little more vulnerable and fragile underneath all the noise.” From the anxiety of modern life to the simple truth that “democracy doesn’t work without tolerance,” this is an essential chat from a comedy master.
