Well, it’s Black Friday and that can only mean one thing – the day for comedian Jimmy Pardo and his podcast Never Not Funny’s six annual 13-hour long Pardcast-a-Thon has finally arrived! Oh, sorry, were you thinking about Black Friday sales over a charitable telethon for Smile Train – a charity that helps children with cleft palates? Hmm… interesting perspective. Anyway, while a reported 96 million people will be busy shopping, a large number of others will find themselves at the Acme Theater in Los Angeles at 12 p.m. PT (3 p.m. ET) to sit down, donate some monies and watch Pardo and his co-host’s Matt Belknap and Pat Francis chat with an array of guests for 13 hours in an event consisting of stand up comedy, conversations and more! This year, the opening act for Conan O’Brien’s TBS series CONAN, plans to welcome in the likes of “Weird Al” Yankovic, Sarah Silverman, Scott Aukerman, Hangover star Zach Galifianakis, and MANY more, equaling over 30 guests, all there to support the wonderful cause.

The 6th annual event, titled Pardcast-a-Thon, houses Pardo and his Never Not Funny podcast crew – including co-host Matt Belknap, the “third chair” Pat Francis, intern Garon Cockrell, and videographer Eliot Hochberg – and a round up of guests every half-hour, resulting in over 12 hours of comedy, which is live-streamed online.

This coming Friday, Sept. 26, marks the third year of the weekend-long event, one that has succeeded wholeheartedly in “legitimizing” the podcasting industry and helping it form into something that not only fans are taking more and more seriously, but the industry as well.
