Scott Aukerman

In only his second performance with friends at the Comedy Store back in 1995, Scott Aukerman made a chance connection with Bob Odenkirk (Better Call Saul), who was in the audience. "He took a liking to us and sponsored us in comedy in a way," Aukerman recalls. "He would come to our performances and either give us notes or appear in parts, or sometimes get up and introduce the show to let people know that he cosigned on it, which was really generous of him." Aukerman then landed his first job in television, writing for HBO's beloved sketch comedy series Mr. Show, which starred Odenkirk and David Cross. Since then Aukerman has launched a podcasting empire with Ear-wolf, written for the Oscars and Emmys and cocreated the Zach Galifianakis web series Between Two Ferns. His show Comedy Bang! Bang!-which began as a podcast-enters its final 10 episodes Oct. 28 on IFC. An edited version of Aukerman's conversation with B&C contributing editor Luke McCord follows.
