began during the pandemic, when the comedian began to share his grief with fans via instagram. The longtime comedian and podcaster was broadsided with the sudden death of his girlfriend, Lynn Shelton, and he needed a place to vent.
“It was a way to stay in touch with some sort of audience or community,” Maron recalled during Saturday’s event. “One hundred to 1,000 would watch every day as I moved through breakfast and grief. It was crazy.”Deadline Studio At Contenders Television 2023 – Steven Yeun, Ali Wong, Dominique Fishback, Riley Keough, Natasha Lyonne & More
Eventually, Maron developed two years of material that addressed aging, antisemitism and, most important, grief. “It’s not talked about enough,” he said of grief, which he began to talk about in small venues. “Everybody is going to experience it at some point. Grief is always going to be there.”— his first HBO comedy special, which was filmed in front of a live audience at New York City’s Town Hall — his best work ever.“It’s really tricky to make that stuff work,” Maron said.
That’s not to say he didn’t have moments when talking about his late girlfriend was extremely difficult. The writer/director died in 2020.
