You Made It Weird is a semi-weekly comedy interview podcast hosted by comedian Pete Holmes on the Nerdist network. The show originated under the premise that Holmes would ask his guest, usually a fellow comedian, about three "weird" things he knew about them, but has since evolved into a much more loose conversation about such complex topics as comedy, religion and sexuality. Holmes has also had many guests that are not comedians, including actors, filmmakers, musicians, authors and pastors. Many guests comment on Holmes' unique laugh, which tends to be very loud and borderline obnoxious. Katie Levine does the tech for & produces the podcast.

The show is usually recorded in-studio at the Nerdmelt Theatre in Los Angeles, California. Starting with the first on March 21, 2012, Holmes has recorded multiple live episodes of the podcast, in Austin, Texas at South by Southwest,[1] New York,[2] Bloomington[3] Chicago.,[4] Montreal, Quebec, San Francisco, California, Los Angeles, California at the LA RIOT Festival, and Toronto, Ontario at Just For Laughs. These have featured several guests rather than the usual one, and focus more on comedy rather than the in-depth discussion of a regular episode.

Notable guests

Guests have included Hannibal Buress, Zach Galifianakis, Judd Apatow, Sarah Silverman, Demetri Martin, Marc Maron, Jim Gaffigan, Michael Ian Black, David Koechner, Rob Delaney, Adam Carolla, Doug Benson, Brody Stevens, Bill Burr, T.J. Miller, Chelsea Peretti, Jon Hamm, Rob Bell, Dane Cook and Paul F. Tompkins.[5] In a 2013 A.V. Club interview, Holmes lists his favorite episodes as "Emily Gordon," "Bert Kreischer" and "Zach Galifianakis."[6]
