“One of the most naturally funny trios in the business doing what they do best.”
Vulture’s Guide to All Fantasy Everything
Created by comedian and head writer of The Late Late Show With James Corden, Ian Karmel, and co-hosted by fellow comics Sean Jordan and David Gborie, the podcast consistently delivers the best of both worlds: warm hangouts with the self-described “Good Vibes Gang” and an inventive format that ensures their conversations never grow stale or unfunny.
This format is a roundtable discussion that draws inspiration from the world of fantasy sports. Just as participants in fantasy sports leagues take turns drafting professional athletes based on their forecasted statistical output, participants on All Fantasy Everything take turns drafting everything but that. Over the course of 170 episodes to date, they’ve drafted pop-culture phenomena (“Disney Songs”), life experiences (“Things You’ve Learned the Hard Way”), food (“Sampler Platters”), and a number of other hard-to-categorize topics, like “People You’d Like to Be for a Day,” “Moments in Time You’d Want to Travel Back To,” or simply, “Birds.”

Of all the comedy podcasts on this list, “All Fantasy Everything” is the one that’s the hardest to pick a single episode. Even if you haven’t thought of who you’d want in your corner if you got into a fight or what you’d do with a billion dollars or the words that you think make you sound smart, you can count on Ian Karmel and Co. to offer up a classic. So instead of picking an episode with an abstract topic or one of the dependable music-related classics (“Band Names,” “Karaoke Jams,” or “TV Theme Songs” either), we’re throwing kosh right into the wind and picking a simple classic. It’s just Karmel, Sean Jordan, and David Gborie assembling the ideal sandwich. Nothing fancy, but it’s one of the most naturally funny trios in the business doing what they do best. — Steve Greene

You get the sense this is sincerity, not shtick. And so it's not surprising Jordan is so popular with his peers in the scene—other comics, club staff and promoters. His buoyancy can be hard to crack.
