Show of the week: Maron

Three years ago, Marc Maron’s career in comedy was at a dead end when he began recording interviews with fellow comedians in his Los Angeles garage. The conversations—confessional, rambling, often uproariously funny—laid the foundation for a twice-weekly podcast that today generates millions of downloads each month. Now comes the TV show.

Friday, May 3, at 10 p.m., IFC
