Comedian, actor, writer, and director Steve Byrne joins Larry and Jay from the set of his new movie, The Streak, a sports comedy inspired by the true story of Caltech basketball’s historic losing streak.

Steve shares how the film came together, why the underdog story connected with him, and what it’s like directing a cast featuring Ed Helms, Nina Dobrev, and Natasha Rothwell. He also explains how decades of stand-up comedy, crowd work, and improv have prepared him to work behind the camera and get the best performances from his actors.

Plus, Steve looks back on the fifth annual Comedy Jam benefiting the Mario Lemieux Foundation, Jay Caufield’s unexpected “Piano Man” performance, the story of nearly taking out Clint Eastwood with a football, and why failure is such an important part of comedy, sports, and life.
