Rory Scovel talks Nashville, Jack White & Third Man Records on The Pete Holmes Show

Rory Scovel

Our pal Rory Scovel was on The Pete Holmes Show Wednesday night to promote his new show on TBS (GROUND FLOOR), talking about how cemeteries are dumb, why the day moon should be ashamed of himself, how he met Jack White at a burger place in Nashville & how Reggie Watts helped set him up with Third Man Records to record his “live at Third Man Records” album in June.

Here’s the segment about Nashville:

You can watch the full 11/13/2013 episode of The Pete Holmes Show with Rory’s appearance on PeteHolmes.com, or watch the individual clips of Rory’s interview footage, some of which didn’t air even though it’s all super funny.

Rory’s absolutely fantastic in every scene he’s in on TBS’s GROUND FLOOR. It airs Thursdays at 10/9c, but you can watch the episodes on the www, too! Here’s the pilot:

Mr. Scovel will be back in Nashville performing at Zanies January 17-19, 2014 – tickets are on sale now!
