by Netflix
60

The Hall honors the lives and careers of the greats of stand-up comedy, serving as a companion to The Hall: Honoring The Greats of Stand Up, streaming on Netflix May 19th. Each of the four episodes of this inaugural season will look at a different comedy titan. Episode One explores the work of George Carlin – his obsession with words and the joy he took in repeatedly poking the eye of authority. Episode Two looks into the brilliance and longevity of Joan Rivers – not only one of the best comedians ever, but a pioneer who opened doors for many women comedians of today. Episode Three is about Richard Pryor who changed comedy forever with his gift for storytelling and his stark honesty on stage. Episode Four is about Robin Williams whose riffing, stream-of-consciousness stand-up is unique and beloved. Produced by Netflix Is A Joke Radio, Netflix Podcasts, and Radio Point, we speak to family members, friends, admirers, and colleagues about these incredible icons. Episodes drop weekly. Audiences can also see host Cristela Alonzo in her upcoming Netflix special "Cristela Alonzo: Middle Classy" premiering globally on June 28 only on Neteflix.

    Excellent!
    I am really enjoying and learning more about my comedy heroes. The interviews are candid and enlightening, and the podcast is pretty honest and nonjudgmental about the subjects—such a breath of fresh air! I don’t write a lot of these reviews, but enjoyed The Hall so much that I felt like I should. Check it out for yourself!!

    Great content
    Great content but the woman narrating isn't very good. She sounds dull, and she'll enunciate some words then say something like innernet instead of internet. And then out of the blue she'll curse as if that adds anything to the story.

    Love the Hall
    The Hall is an excellent podcast. It’s one of those that is engagingly and intelligently done, well researched, great topics. Even if the subject of a particular episode isn’t a favorite it’s still fascinating to listen to. Really puts these individuals into the context of history both in terms of their influences and how they influence. Reminds me of another of my favorite podcasts You Must Remember This. Very well done- I hope The Hall sticks around!

    The Great Joan Rivers
    Brilliant recognition of the life and times of the great comedienne, Joan Rivers. Both funny and poignant with fascinating interviews of many who were close to her, including her daughter, Melissa. Mandatory listening!

    Carlin is a legend
    Even fifteen years after he left us, everyone is still talking about the brilliance of George Carlin. Hear - on this first episode of Netflix THE HALL - about the man and his stand-up from some funny people who knew him.

    Funny! Love it!
    Love the first season. The behind the scene details and guest stars is great. Really can’t wait for 2nd season.

    Too much sauce
    It’s extremely heavy on mutual admiration, and the guests over-praise every element of the show. NBC is much better at these companion podcasts.

    Netflix is our friend.
    This show is telling us all the secret and truth we need to know. You have to de code it and use your mind.
