Ike Barinholtz on Good Hang with Amy Poehler

with IB Ike Barinholtz

The Hang, in Short

Katherine Hahn calling in from a hot parked car in LA admits she'd be "half crazy" if she had a daughter instead of a son, which feels hilariously honest. Amy counters that she's "weirdly older than both her parents." Birth order! Emily Spivey and Hahn both call in before Ike arrives to share why he's such a treasure. They gush about his loyalty to projects, his relentless enthusiasm, how he never lets the conversational energy drop. Hahn remembers him from that Chris Chapman Doover podcast where he played a guy constantly apologizing for his bad takes. Perfect casting. They want Amy to ask about his three daughters and those wholesome Sunday dinners with his whole family, including his dad who's apparently new to showbiz. Then things get weird when Amy and Ike immediately launch into a truly unhinged conversation about fake food and the important distinction between perverts (good!) and creeps (bad). FDR comes up. It tracks.
