Mohr Stories CLASSIC #64: Ken Marino

In honor of Ken Marino’s return to Mohr Stories this week, for today’s CLASSIC episode we revisit Ken’s first visit to the show in 2012. Jay and Ken talk about Ken creating Burning Love with his wife, the early days of The State, studying acting at NYU, the birth of the legendary “I Wanna Dip My Balls In It” sketch, and how a group of college friends ended up with their own show on MTV. Along the way, Jay and Ken go deep on reality TV, Food Network obsessions, Conan appearances, karaoke, SNL pitch-room insanity, and Ken’s karate grandmaster father-in-law.
