![]() I try to put my calmest thoughts in there.įS: In that same line of thought, you show that calmness and positivity in a grounded way. Actually, no, I don’t hope they look to the show, but I think it’s nice if they can get any calm out of the show. It took all the calm energy I have to create the show in the past year and I put that into the show. JP: Yeah, and I should say that they look to the show for that. I hope it’s still grounded and realistic and it’s not positive in a crazy way, but in a way that makes people focus on decent things.įS: Do you have fans reach out to you to let you know that they look to you for that kind of gentleness? I kind of go by the same thing in the series: If you fall asleep in the middle of the episode, that’s fine. And I try to use that same thing with the series. We tried to use comedy to try to help people relax before they go to sleep. The show originated with the special about going to sleep. What do you think about how people look to your show as a balm against negativity? Everything has been so chaotic with the pandemic and politics. To know that you and your friends have work again for the next year-and-a-half, especially in this past year when work is harder to come by, is a really nice feeling.įS: I know many people, some of whom are my friends, who look to your show as a gentleness or a calmness in a storm. My goal is always just to be able to do make the next thing. I hope it’s a little more than before and catches people off-guard a little bit.įS: How does it feel to be picked up for a new season? We added a bunch of new characters, which widens the world a little bit. It’s a winter season, which is something I’ve been wanting to do for a while now. JP: Well, it starts with an episode about sitting and goes from there. ![]() I’m a big fan and I really appreciate it. Pera at the cusp on the season 3 premiere about what to expect in the new episodes, widening the world of Joe Pera Talks with You, how the pandemic impacted how he approached making the show, and making the series both positive and realistic.įS: Thank you so much for agreeing to do this interview. That calmness and earnestness carries over into the third season of Joe Pera Talks with You it’s just as much a part of the series’ DNA as his doomsday prepper girlfriend or his beloved home of Michigan. That shine is made more luminous by the stories and sentiments he attaches to chair-building or flying in a plane, stories that are relatable to real human experience. Whether he talks about making a chair or a second fridge, he takes the seemingly mundane and makes it shine. Much has been made about the calmness and gentleness of star Joe Pera’s manner-both in real life and the character Joe Pera-but what’s just as important to the success and draw of the show to his fans is how earnest and passionate (be it a measured passion) about his subject matters. It’s difficult to watch Joe Pera Talks with You and not to be drawn in to his earnestness.
