Jillian Bell’s history of anxiety goes back to when she was a baby and would hold her breath until she passed out. But she didn’t let panic attacks stand in the way of her dream to get hired at SNL or her desire to become a working comedic actor. And as Jillian tells Marc, she definitely wasn’t going to let anything stop her from becoming a director, which she did with her first film, Summer of 69. They also talk about the great experience they shared while making Lynn Shelton’s Sword of Trust.

Alright, let's do this. How are you, what the fuckers, what the fuck buddies? What the fuckniks, what's happening? I'm Marc Maron, this is my podcast. Welcome to it. Look, you guys, today on the show... I'm going to talk to Jillian Bell. She was my co-star in Sword of Trust. That was Lynn Shelton's last movie.
She was a writer on SNL before being in movies and shows like Workaholics, Brittany Runs a Marathon and Eastbound and Down. But she has just directed her first feature, Summer of 69, which is not about 1969. It's a reference to the sexual position. Let me just get this out of the way. Los Angeles, I'm back at Largo for an 8 p.m. show next Tuesday, April 22nd.
Then I'm at Dynasty Typewriter on Saturday, April 26th. And again on Tuesday, April 29th. Toronto, I'm at the Winter Garden on Saturday, May 3rd for two shows. Burlington, Vermont, I'm at the Vermont Comedy Club for two shows on Monday, May 5th and one show on Tuesday, May 6th. Those, I believe, are all sold out, but there might be tickets surfacing. I don't know.
Portsmouth, New Hampshire, I'll be at the Music Hall on Wednesday, May 7th. Then I'm in Brooklyn, New York for my HBO special taping at the Bam Harvey Theater on May 10th. Two shows there. Go to wtfpod.com slash tour for all of my dates and links to tickets. Yes, do that. So, look, you guys. I don't know. You know, I brought this up. Must be five, six weeks ago that eventually...
The president would defy the courts and that's happening and then we would be in a bonafide constitutional crisis and that has arrived. Here we are. This is it. This is the precipice. I don't know what the recourse is of the Supreme Court over this deportation ruling or the lower courts with theirs, whether they're going to find the president in contempt or not.
But this is what was going to happen. And I assumed it would happen and now it's happened. And we are in a true constitutional crisis because I don't know really what the recourse is for the courts to take the president to task.

Chapter 3: What experiences did Jillian have while filming Sword of Trust?
Really? I did get lucky.
I did get lucky with them. They were both very loving. I'm like, why am I on so many medications now?
Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja.
Oh gosh, the dread.
I wonder if that's part of it. I'm still putting this together. And, you know, I've had more time than you.
How much more time?
Well, I mean, I've known that my brain is a certain way for a long time. Yeah. But I always rationalized it as being reasonable and it just made me intuitive that everybody should feel exactly like me if they were just in touch. That's interesting. Yeah. And I tried to sell that on stage for years. Like, everyone's bitter. I mean, how can you not be bitter? Everything worked out for you?
It didn't. But then it moved into, I think anxiety is more relatable. Yeah. But no, when I think about my childhood and about that feeling you had of being afraid or not feeling safe or something. But that seems like you had more of a mental thing.
Yeah, mine was just a screw loose. Are you envious of people who are like, I'm going to I'm gonna watch Everybody Loves Raymond tonight. And then I'll go to bed. And then I'll get up. No, I'm not envious of them. You're not? No. Because you appreciate the gift with the curse.
