Never Not Funny started in April of 2006 at Jimmy Pardo's dining room table in a little house in Los Angeles, just south of movie star, just north of dicey. Since then, Jimmy and his producer/co-host Matt Belknap have recorded over a thousand episodes together, welcoming their sometimes famous, always funny friends into the studio every week to share stories and laugh at life.

Garon CockrellGaron is an award-winning, published LGBTQIA writer, podcaster, producer, streamer, and pop culture nerd living in Los Angeles by way of small town Michigan. He holds a Masters of Fine Arts in Screenwriting, a massive film and vinyl collection, and an active social media presence he uses to raise awareness for mental health, social issues, and his opinions on popular culture, which no one has asked for. He has two chart-topping published books, "Demonic and Other Tales" & "The Darkest Hours" and has been a cast-member on the legendary podcast, Never Not Funny, for nearly a decade. His life long love of horror led him to chase his dream of writing films, but his ultimate goal is to tell great stories that people can connect with emotionally for unforgettable experiences, no matter the genre or the format. He’s been often described as “funnier than Pete Davidson” on one episode of Never Not Funny. |
