  • Summary

  • Comedian Pete Holmes shares the small ways his mom infused her Lithuanian heritage through food, even though she wouldn’t talk much about the home she knew before having to flee the country and become a refugee. He opens up about his journey confronting some dark parts of his past that helped him make better comedy. Plus, we’ll get the recipe for his mom’s apple pie that might look more like a cobbler.

    Pete Holmes is an American comedian, actor, writer, producer, and podcaster. He gained recognition as the creator and lead actor of the HBO series Crashing, a semi-autobiographical show centered around the world of stand-up comedy. Holmes has also worked as a writer for Saturday Night Live and lent his voice to characters in the animated series Animals. His stand-up specials, including Nice Try, The Devil and Faces and Sounds, have received praise for their observational humor.
