Dana Gould

<p class="p1">Dana Gould is a stand-up comedian, writer and performer who wrote and performed on <em>The Ben Stiller Show</em> and spent eight years as writer and producer on <em>The Simpsons</em>. His stand-up special, <em>I Know It’s Wrong</em>, was one of the best specials of the 2010s decade. In 2016, Gould created the IFC comedy horror series, <em>Stan Against Evil</em>. In 2021, his latest project is a webseries called <em>Hanging with Doctor Z</em>, with Gould in the starring role as the <em>Planet of the Apes</em> character hosting a talk show with modern-day celebrities. Gould caught up with me over Zoom to talk about his love for performing as Dr. Z on multiple levels, how his message to the comedians at Just For Laughs Montreal in 2015 still resonates personally with him today, and more. So let’s get to it!</p>
