Chapter 1: Who is Jake Cornell?
Welcome to the shit show. Things are going to get weird. It's your fave villain, Kale Lowry. And you're listening to Barely Famous. All right, y'all, welcome back to another episode of Barely Famous. Today we have Jake Cornell, influencer, comedian, actor, all the things.
Yeah, thank you.
And also one of the best New York gays.
I can't call myself that, but I'll take the compliment. Thank you.
You can't call yourself that?
I think you can't claim you should be like, if I were like, I'm one of the best New York gays, like you can't do that.
Okay, so I can't say I'm one of the best podcasters?
No, that's different. That's like a vocation. I can't claim the best of an identity, I feel like. You know what I mean? For fear of what the reaction from the other New York A's would be. Also, that's an incredible population to say you're the best of. We're talking about some of the best artists in the world. I think you're one of the best. Well, I'll take the compliment. Thank you so much.

Chapter 2: What was Jake's upbringing like?
Yeah, absolutely. So I first came across you on TikTok for being funny and being a comedian, and I love that. Thank you. But where did you start before TikTok and before comedy in general? Were you always funny or did you sort of like learn to be funny?
I guess like the answer is both.
Okay.
Like I'm originally from New England. I'm from Rhode Island originally, which is like where my whole family is.
Wait, that's part of New England?
Mm-hmm.
I thought it was the Midwest.
Rhode Island?
Like the top, like by Michigan?

Chapter 3: How did Jake get into comedy?
Are you looking at a map?
Yeah.
So do you, have you found it yet? I'm asking.
Hold on, because they're all so small.
So do you see where Massachusetts is the one that has like the elephant trunk that kind of swings out?
I'm trying. Okay. It keeps pulling up Rhode Island, but I need to see it on.
Can you Google like a map of America?
Yeah.
And then do you know where Maine is? Like the top, the like horse head at the top?

Chapter 4: What is the TikTok ban and how does it affect creators?
Oh, okay. Cool.
So you're- They just call that region the upper peninsula.
And Rhode Island is not an island. Correct.
There's some islands off of it, but it's part of mainland America.
Okay. So you started comedy and just everything in Rhode Island.
No, no. So I'm originally from Rhode Island. And then we moved to Vermont when I was like six. Also in New England. Yes. And then I was back and forth a lot. And I guess that's to say like I come from like a funny family. Like everyone's loud. My mom's side of the family is like half Jewish, half Irish. Irish Catholic. Like very loud. Very like.
kind of everyone's roasting each other from trauma or just naturally you know i think a wintry mix of both um but but um and then my dad's side of the family is funny too but like i think there was like a natural proclivity towards like humor in my family and then i they and then like i think also moving to like a small town rural area from like a fairly like metropolitan area for sure kind of like forced me to you know use my skills to get people to like me so i think of and then also being like
the only gay guy in like a small town I think all that led to me being like funny but then when I moved to New York like almost 11 years ago to be a like an actor and a comedian and a performer and I think I had to learn how to like do it in a like professional and consistent way and like perform it like how do I take how I know I can be funny like I remember I used to really feel like
I know I can be funny like at the bar with a bunch of people like shooting the shit, whatever. But like doing that in a way that is like translating into writing a script or performing on stage or doing an improv scene like that took a lot of trial and error and learning and stuff like that. So it's like a mix of both. But I started at the Upright Citizens Brigade. You know what that is? No.

Chapter 5: What is a typical day like for Jake on tour?
city trades people and like that was it so like the subway had like such a different vibe it was honestly kind of nice because it was like everyone was like pretty cool and then all these looney tunes who were at these going to restaurants not the looney tunes yeah i don't think so i live in delaware so there's we only have chain restaurants i talk about this all the time so frustrating because there's no mom and pop places
I know that's hard it is true I've noticed that like touring have you been to Delaware or like Philly because Philly is about an hour from us I did shows in Philly but like New York has the chain restaurants like right in the center like in your Times Square like your Atlantic Terminal but like obviously when you go out like not really totally but like it's been interesting being in some of like the smaller cities and being like oh yeah like in some of these towns like the place to go is like the on the border
Oh, we don't even have one of those. Our Red Robin just shut down. I'm devastated. But before they did that, they took the freaking baked potato soup off the menu.
That's tough.
Why would they do that?
Clearly they were struggling.
They also put in a mini Chili's like 40 minutes away. Why would you put in a mini Chili's? We literally don't have anything else and I don't have anywhere. I love Chili's.
Like why would you do a mini? What does that mean? What do you mean mini Chili's? It's like – Like a kiosk?
Like can you sit? Like it's like half the size of a regular Chili's.

Chapter 6: What are some of Jake's favorite cities for comedy?
It has the same menu. It's like mainly for to-go. And if you go inside, they want to flip the tables even faster than they would in a regular Chili's.
Oh, that sucks.
So it's really upsetting because it's like we the people –
Yeah, you want to soak in the ambiance of the chilies for a little bit.
Yeah, like I need the triple dipper in the full chilies essence.
Well, especially like chilies food is not something you want to eat quickly because you're already getting like one of the worst tummy aches of your life that day. So if you eat it fast, it's like.
I have to let it marinate for a second before I leave.
Because I've known for shitting my pants. So it's like. There's only so much Imodium in the world, you know.
get me yeah i feel seen i truly do actually like one of the guests that we had yesterday she was like um where should we go eat in time square and i said i'm pretty sure that's all chain restaurants pretty much in time square i mean you can get like the no it kind of is yeah

And I don't know about Rhode Island. Do they have good food there?
Rhode Island has good food. Rhode Island has good food.
I've never been. Yeah. Did you go to school in Rhode Island or Vermont?
I went to Vermont UVM. Okay. Okay. Cool.
I went to school in Delaware. So it's just been sort of slow. The Amish built my house and I have a little farm. So it's just very different than New York.
That's cute though.

Chapter 8: What unique experiences does Kail share as a mother of seven?
Yeah. My kids don't help with the farm though. That's probably not cute.
Sure.
Would you ever make a character based off my life with like a woman with seven kids?
It's to be honest, that is your life is so different than mine that I don't even know that I understand it well enough to be able to like do a character of it. Do you know what I mean? Like I, the idea of having, will you make a joke about me on stage?
i could but i like you i don't have a i don't i'm not feeling a compulsion to like make fun of you in any way why i just i want someone to think i'm a big deal you are a big deal but i told the author yesterday she killed a plumber and one of a plumber that she had work for her um yeah she was like i hated him and i killed him in a book like i want that like kill me in a book name a character after me something that's amazing do you know what i mean yeah no i'm worthy yeah no you're good
If you bring me up in New York, just let me know. This is for you. And I'll be like, perfect. Actually, I'll just come to one. When's your next show?
