Here's one for you: You're at a restaurant and the waitress says "the guys over there think you're really beautiful". I mean I obviously said thank you at first until I realized they were talking about my date. I mean -- Rude, or do you think that's ok? That's this week's question. I put it to you, Greg - isn't this an indictment of our entire Amer…

My yearly jaunt to Los Angeles couldn't have gone better as the New York Mets were also in town and really stuck it to the LA Dodgers in the middle of the afternoon on a random Monday. Other than that let's see, oh right, I hung out and spent time with the great Jeff Goldbum, Patton Oswald, Larry David and Judd Apatow. The Randy Newman song "I Love…

Welcome to Professor Juskow's 1981 in film. This episode's class will cover all the action of the year 1981. We're talking about An American Werewolf in London and how it changed make-up in motion pictures forever; Stripes - which would set up the pairing of Ivan Reitman, Harold Ramis and Bill Murray for the blockbuster Ghostbusters; the little kno…

Today's riveting true story of the time Hans Christian Andersen spent a few weeks at the house of Charles Dickens and did some despicable things. Oh it's true. I'm a college professor - this is what I research. Also, an old fashioned "Fudgie The Whale" carvel cake saves the day and the awful walk underneath the stupid 7 train in Queens. A Juskow in…

"You're not going to believe this". . . he said in Juskow in the City like terms. . . If you're a listener to this podcast -- another classic grated cheese like incident at the diner. Of course if you've never listened, you'd be like. . . this sounds dumb but. . . we know 😉. Also, performing at the Broadway Comedy Club where the overflow audience i…

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice - don't even think about saying it again as I went to the Upper West Side to see the extremely fun sequel with friends who were extremely late. Grrrr. Also, seeing the band Squeeze in Central Park - well not seeing them - hearing them while walking around Central Park in the dark, which was incredibly entertaining, even thou…

This week the first tailgate of the season at the Meadowlands and forgetting that ears get sunburnt too. And what is magic meat dust? Then the big first Monday Night game of the season and Disney has decided not to air it so all the bartenders lose out on a profitable evening you jerks. And finally, the president comes to town and almost ruins my d…

On today's episode, it's the first day of class again in the classrooms I have apparently been banished too. BUT, lo and behold my old students rally around to have me move to where I belong. Isn't that nice? Also, major stomach issues on the train where me and the mayor's of Red Bank and Asbury Park, NJ all had a lovely Day at the Races and a pict…

It's the Season 4 premiere of Juskow in the City and welcome back everyone. Today on the podcast, a day at the races and two concerts; also a trip to Roosevelt Island, my new awful classrooms on campus and the incredible Chinese food lunch I can't stop looking at pictures of. It's also my first time at the legendary Springsteen house of worship, Th…

My Birthday show at the Comedy Cellar at 6:00 pm on a Tuesday night was a sold out classic of epic proportions. The energy was incredible, the lineup was stellar and the "this is your life" Juskow crowd was the greatest way I've celebrated a birthday in a long time. The night before opening for Quest Love across the street at the Blue Note was hila…

Today on the podcast I take on another aggressive Taxi Driver and save a girl from a touchy troublemaker at the bar. Hmmm, that's very much like the actual movie, "Taxi Driver". How do you like that? Juskow in the City "Man's Up" in this birthday episode. Ironically, I run into a woman who saw me play a Taxi Driver in a play in college and although…

This week we head to Madison Square Garden once again to see Billy Joel's final residency show, which was pretty disappointing (and that's a polite word for what I wanted to use). Also, shouting the name "Kevin" ala "Home Alone" to the guy named Kevin at Lowes because he was pissing me off was hilarious (you know, for me). And being disappointed ag…

This week I go to ANOTHER graduation party in Jersey with AGAIN no Beer! What is happening!?? And, when I responded to the invitation I told them my son has a peanut allergy so they saved a seat for my son and made sure there were no peanuts in anything. I don't have a son so. . . awkward! Also, another parmesan cheese incident, singing "You'll Be …

This week our hero goes into the famous Tiffany's in New York City to purchase two graduation gifts and finds more than he bargained for. And, although that sounds intriguing when written like a movie tagline, it, of course, just means everything was much more expensive then I bargained for. Duh. BUT, it's an experience at Tiffany's, which is only …

. . . As the late Shelly Duval says in the legendary "Annie Hall". In which, of course, the only response would be, "thank you". That and talking about the movies, "Home Alone" today and how it was just a little film that could AND the brand new Netflix movie, "Beverly Hills Cop 4", which, spoiler alert, is Awesome! I guess I didn't do much this we…

This week on the podcast it's partying with the young kids a old man Juskow downs multiple jello shots and outdrinks everyone at the party. Proper Hydration works like a charm. Also reviews of the new Broadway play with Holland Taylor called N/A and the Netflix movie, A Family Affair with Zac Efron and Nicole Kidman. And finally, my friend's legend…

Today we travel to the legendary Hell's Kitchen in Manhattan, USA to find a little hidden gem, open 24 hours that fixes your flat or gives you a new tire under 5 minutes. I don't understand it, I'm not questioning it, and still can't believe it exists. It's not even a garage. It's impossible to explain, but I try today on the podcast. I also end up…

On this week's episode we Juskow in the City, becomes Juskow in the Country. A place with no cell service and a possible recreation of the Manson ranch scene from "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood". Also, another trip to Philadelphia with comedian Mark Normand and the new city I find I really don't like but keep having to return to. Get ready -- it's …

Comedian Judy Gold put together a day to tour the October 7th exhibit on Wall Street for some of the comics last Monday, including me and Dave Attell. Of course Judy also yelled at some of the people there that run comedy clubs because she wasn't getting booked and, well, that was pretty hilarious BUT that's what comics do - as you'll here today on…

Today we go old school USA and cross the Delaware once again to go the small little town of Bucks County PA. This little town has been around since the 70's and when I say 70's I mean the 1970's because I'm there to see Richard Kline from Three's Company and Marilu Henner from Taxi so . . . hey ooooo! Then it's back to Brooklyn for a CNN Correspond…

Seeing The Rolling Stones for the first time was quite the thrill but getting to MetLife Stadium to see them called for an appearance by everyone's favorite character, Juskadan. And clearly all the people that kept yelling out my name at the concert means Juskadan is truly a fan favorite. And to continue legendary bands from the 60's Saturday night…

The Nightfly is back to do a tiny tribute to the great David Sanborn and some of his influence, especially his work with the great Dave Grusin, Sting, David Bowie and David Juskow (I added my name in to make another David reference - I should see if he worked with Dave Grohl -- although I do have a clip of him on David Letterman - SO. . . we're goo…

Juskow in the City is thinking of moving to the State of West Virginia - I mean, probably not but did you know it's only 4½ hours away from NYC? I didn't know that. Also, I have dinner with showrunner of One Day at a Time on Netflix, Mike Royce who confesses he told Dave Attell to give up comedy in 1988. You know, cause it just wasn't for him. 😅 An…

This week we go to the legendary 54 Below Cabaret room (a possible crummy snobatorium) where me AND my friend Chris got into a fight with the waiter over anchovies. So already it's a great podcast. You know you love my restaurant fight stories. 😂 The last day of class was an extremely memorable one as we all said goodbye and received some extraordi…

On this week's episode we are reminded how Taxis in New York City need to go (but not the television series), why the CBS Network needs to go (and all their series) and how the only saving grace this week was the joy of looking at a nice clean convenience store out the window of a sad bar in New Jersey (cause they're gross in New York City). Also, …

Today being Passover Professor Juskow takes a lesson plan page out of my class and we discuss films released in 1982. Although I think I forgot 1981 hilariously (we'll get back to it) there certainly is a treasure trove to discuss. We'll discuss the hilarious Morgan Fairchild vehicle, The Seduction; the awful sequel to Grease, Grease 2 and the clas…

This week we go down to the West Village to see David Yazbek's new musical, "Dead Outlaw", which is terrific. We also run into my old managing partner from the firm at the play where I have become the Voldemort of the place (as in he who must not be named) - so EPIC. Also, as I go to see my friends Julian and Paul play piano also in the West Villag…

That's right. One hundred years or so ago there were riots right here in River City (downtown Manhattan) over who's theatre had the better production of Hamlet. I only bring it up because it's my new course lecture and well -- it's incredibly hilarious and may make you feel a little better about the world today because nothing seems to change so. .…

Three Presidents past and present came into town this week and I know the first thing you thought of was "how would this affect Dave Juskow of Juskow in the City?" - and I appreciate that. Well, it was a nightmare, as usual. I thought they all hated New York City (except for Clinton), why do they bother me? Anyhoo, that, our friend Marcie coming to…

On today's episode I lecture to my class on the importance of friendship and relationships. I'm worried about this generation of kids not having personal contacts and too much AI. I know it sounds silly but I've been seeing things with newer comics and my students that are worrying signs about the Earth's future. I know, right? But don't worry -- w…

On this week's episode we travel to Connecticut from the City which is a horrible task to have dinner with the great Paul Shaffer only to find out we're not having dinner with the great Paul Shaffer (Spoiler Alert); also another awful dinner at Morso which is just so classic that I keep showing up there; a visit to the Geek Squad trying to sell the…

It's Spring Break again and it's once again time to Paaaarrrty! And, if you're like me that means a nice 6:00 pm reservation at a restaurant and then off to bed with you. But seriously folks. . . Went to dinner 3 times this week and nothing really horrible happened (darn). We did, however, get to burn that restaurant from last week as Evan called t…

This week the director of Clueless & Fast Times at Ridgemont High comes to class to regale us with her incredible stories of how Clueless got made and how a woman in 1982 was able to direct a motion picture; AND, how the book club I joined and left pulled a "Blue Man Group" on me (you'll get it); also, scathing articles on my favorite restaurant, J…

The Carlyle hotel in New York City is a fancy hotel alright -- they have the fruit flavored tootsie rolls at the front desk and let me tell you something -- that's usually only Halloween candy - so that's real class. Also, this week, since I've become a professor, I've started giving notes on friends Stand-Up specials - even when they don't ask. Ca…

As no one in this great nation of ours has the GUTS to release it, I had to take matters into my own hands to see the new Woody Allen movie. Also this week, the continuing pain in the ass literally and figuratively that comes from getting into a car accident that is not your fault; all the women of a certain age that asked me to dance on, ironicall…

Yes, this week I went to see the Broadway musical, Days of Wine & Roses, which leads to the question, why make a musical on Days of Wine & Roses. BUT, I do enjoy complaining so - I like to see everything and it's hard for anything to live up to Back to the Future at this point so. . . Also, this week - a funeral for one of the comedy club owners in…

I got into a fun car accident this week with a crazy guy who didn't want to exchange insurance or involve the police. He said he could fix my car and to prove it he showed me his Home Depot card. WTF!!! Anyway, more on that later -- also the unbelievable Weehawken show at the Elks club and the Weehawken Rockin' Ferry Terminal - again, WTF!!! And, t…

On today's episode - I have a run in with an escaped mental patient on the loose and lose a pair of pants along the way. All in the same week? What a show! Also, how many questions can you answer on my first quiz of the year AND "Hot Dog, the Movie" from 1984 -- should be the worst movie ever made but in a first viewing the cinematography is incred…

On today's episode of Juskow in the City, we head down to West 11th Street in the Greenwich Village twice this week for a restaurant that has been there since 1919 and I've never been to or heard of and yet I was there twice in five days. One of them was to celebrate the G.O.A.T.'s birthday, Dave Attell. Some annoying lady just sat down with us for…

There's nothing worse than horrible stand up comedy (ooops, I forgot about improv) -- well anyway, must we sit through the worst people in stand up to support a friend? That's what happened this week. Also, everyone's favorite, another waiter incident, in which this time instead of bringing back the billfold with change, they told us they ran out o…

Happy New Year everyone and welcome back to an all new year of Juskow in the City and quality podcasting. You're welcome in advance. On this episode we discuss New Year's Eve, of course, at the Comedy Cellar; comedian Rachel Feinstein's Netflix taping; my 70's tap dance teacher's passing; how eating too much at the movies led to a tummy ache like a…

Happy New Year everyone. On this "interim" Juskow in the City we take a look back at 80's syndicated television where every single writer and producer was high as a kite. Clearly. I'll be teaching this this semester at the university so here's a little preview. 😀 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.…

In the big year end finale of Juskow in the City, once again we travel to NJ to see my sister play Tree No. 1 in the worst production of the Wizard of Oz since my niece performed it in Junior High. Plus, having to drive through an unforgiving rain storm to get there. Also, my brother-in-law makes experimental Latkes, filming a model's movie, my cle…

Happy Holidays all. On today's episode we once again travel to the Isle of Capri where that one waiter now won't give me any cheese OR wine; I waste an entire day making the stupidest calendar of all time; we head down to the West Village AND the East Village where every restaurant is not made for people over 6 feet or anyone carrying a book bag; a…

Greetings all and happy holidays. On this week's episode we travel to the South Street Seaport for some high flying balloon adventures, then through Staten Island and finally to the mall at 6:00 AM to get those phony Black Friday deals. Also, a review of No Hard Feelings and Are You There God, It's Me Margaret. AND, finally, as usual the New York J…

Today on the podcast Professor Juskow takes a lesson plan page out of my class and we discuss most of the horrid films released in 1980. It's basically to prove my point that most 80's films are awful, besides the Star Wars and a handful that made it out of there. And, of course, don't get me wrong, I love most of them - we all do - but they mostly…

Hello hello my podcast friends. Today on Juskow in the City our seats were worth $1,700 to see Gutenberg the Musical with the great Josh Gad and Andrew Rannells. Was it worth that kind of price? Is anything? Back to the Future came close. Also, the big show at the Public Library (which looking at that statement in print is hilarious) and seeing a s…

Hello all. Welp, I finally did it. I did the Pete and Elda's restaurant down the Jersey Shore XXLarge Pizza Pie eating challenge. I have been waiting 15 years to do it and Thursday was the big day. Can you eat an XXLarge Pie within 30 minutes? If you do you get $1,000,000 (or a free t-shirt, I can't remember which one is the actual prize). Did I fi…

Hello all and on today's podcast, another jaunt into the East Village for me my friend Lara, and for some reason -- her mom. Going to see our great friend Colin Smith perform with his band. I've become one of those big East Village local band kids all of the sudden. I knew I'd become that before I'm 60. We did it!! Also, my neighbor coming over and…

Today in another trials and tribulations of living in NYC podcast, we travel by train to the pinball bar in queens where I get charged for a pineapple juice for the owner's daughter (OMG - I'm still pissed seeing this in print); and a journey down 46th street river to river and the perils along the way. A true 2023 adventure on what 46th Street has…
